    Social Grace:
    Positive & Lasting Impression
    “The most important thing in
    communication is hearing what isn’t said.”

    Peter Drucker
    Social Graces that Impact Business Relationships
    1) Listen Up
    Social graces remind us to pay attention, don’t interrupt
    and let others speak. First impressions are often based
    on our ability to listen.

    Goal: Be a Better Listener.


    2) Make Eye Contact
    Sit up, focus on the conversation and talk directly into the
    speaker. Eliminate all distractions.

    Goal: Give Everyone Your Full Attention.


    “Looking someone directly in the eyes during
    a conversation is the key to making any social
    or professional connection. We rely on eye
    contact to communicate and connect with one
    another on a conscious and unconscious
    level.”
    – Psychology Today
    3) Be On Time
    ✓Provide the best opportunity for making a great first
    impression by being on time.

    ✓Being on time shows respect and that you care about


    the relationship.

    Goal: Be the First to Arrive.


    4) Remember Names

    ✓ Paying attention during introductions, writing down a


    person’s name and collecting their information are
    critical for fostering any relationship.

    Goal: Get the Name Right.


    5) Ignore Hearsay
    ✓ We all know how important it is to not judge others.
    There are many that find their lot in life to influence
    others with their opinions or share idle hearsay.

    Goal: Get the Facts.


    6) Pass on Aggressive
    ✓ Eliminate conversation roadblocks such as: talking over
    people, negativity, ‘mansplaining’, interrupting others or
    giving back-handed compliments. When you begin a
    sentence, “You always…,” you have entered the danger
    zone. “Just kidding,” tells others you probably meant
    exactly what you said.
    ✓ Aggressive has no place in social graces.

    Goal: Avoid Stubborn ‘Know How’


    7) Understand the Culture
    ✓ We are global. Relationships form at the bases of
    cultural differences and acceptance. We all have
    something to offer. This requires awareness and
    knowledge of cultural norms, behaviors and expectations.

    Goal: Understand the Cultural Impact


    8) Acknowledge and Respect
    ✓ Being open to other’s ideas, listening to their stories,
    being present when they ask for your attention are all vital
    social graces to building good relationships.

    Goal: You Can Learn from Everyone


    “I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the
    garbage man or the president of the university.”

    Albert Einstein
    9) Thank You Matters Most
    ✓Acknowledging others’ actions shows you care and that
    is the ultimate social grace.

    Goal: Always Give Thanks!
