Modern Business Etiquette with Arden Clise

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.  – Warren Buffet, Investor, Philanthropist, Introvert As an entrepreneur, you are your company, and to succeed, it’s critical that your “soft skills” – how you respond to and connect with people – are as strong as your technical skills. Business Etiquette Consultant Arden Clise is an expert in helping professionals develop the skills they need to succeed while navigating the sometimes daunting world of networking, meetings, sales and social media. Episode Highlights:

• Why introverts can be perceived as stuck up
• How to connect with strangers

• What Old Spice, Twitter, and threesomes have to do with being a networking expert

“The subjects you’re addressing are key for all business owners, Beth – and I loved that Arden’s etiquette tips also touched on things we could do to feel comfortable putting ourselves out there (so important for introverts!).” ~Claudine Motto, Productivity Coach & Professional Organizer, Vistal Norte

If you believe that etiquette is only about forks and spoons and no sir and yes ma’am, then this episode will give you a new perspective that just might change the way you approach everything.
