Hi Jason: Re: communicating I posted earlier about teaching children how to meet and greet - just simple everyday manners. They can be learned and they help relieve the anxiety in social situations. At least you would have some guidelines to help you along the way and ease that first tension. Wasn't there a study showing how those executives who had had this kind of training were more efficient and relaxed at meetings, etc. and got promoted faster? Some companies have found their execs lacking in some of the social skills and have sent them off to courses to learn all the social graces, including table manners. Nothing uppity or bourgeois, just helps things to run smoothly. When you know what to expect and do, there is less chaos to deal with.
