5 Business Etiquette Tips That Will Truly Impact Your Success
All that really matters in your life are the small deposits you make into the lives and hearts of your social, personal, and business contacts. Here are some business etiquette tips for going above and beyond.
Here are a few truths that bounce around my heart:
- Make time in your day to do one nice thing for another living, breathing, and thriving human being. It’s not the big things we do; it’s the small daily deposits we make into other people’s lives that make life worth living.
- Take that overworked friend a Subway sandwich to their office. A whole sub would provide lunch and dinner for an overworked friend who’s under a deadline. I did this for a friend in an accounting business last week. You would have thought I dropped off a boat and a captain. He just looked at me like I was Mother Teresa or something. I kind of felt like it, too, as I walked to my car.
- Take your child’s teacher a Starbucks coffee. Really, it’s just the boost they need.
- Listen when a person in business is telling you their struggle. You get extra bonus points if you are in a higher position and you listen without being autobiographical.
- Build other people up. A business friend was telling me last week how uptight and type-A another friend is. I said “Whew! I could use a little bit more of that in me. Wish I had tighter skills in that area.” And just like that. I stopped gossip and built up a friend in the business arena.
If you long for things to get better in all aspects of your life, then aim to do one kind thing a day for another person. What you give comes back to you tenfold.
These are business etiquette tips but also just a guide for how to treat others.

What Patricia's Clients are Saying:
“Patricia brought into a fruition a vision for Inclusive Student Excellence at UNC. The experience was once-in-a-lifetime for many students and still is a hot topic for conversation. Patricia was the perfect inaugural keynote speaker for our College to Corporate program!”
“I thought it was very valuable. Though you cannot possibly take away everything, I think there were some key takeaways that I will certainly roll into my daily life. Inspire would be a great venue for her, because she would be especially “inspiring” to women and they would enjoy interacting with her and hearing her story in general. A speaker like Patricia is invaluable and something I took as a privilege to sit through.
Dear Patricia, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! The evening was amazing. You are full of love to share and that was very clear in the atmosphere. Everyone was engaged and loving every minute of your presentation. I’ve had so many great comments and the best was: “This was the best program we have done” I was super excited and wanted to share the positive feedback.
“Thank you so much for your active and hands-on role in our Women’s Leadership Networking Event yesterday.
The positive feedback just keeps coming in! You inspired me and our group to think and act differently in the way we approach networking in social situations. I look forward to reading your current and future books. I truly hope our paths will cross again in the not too distant future.”
