Socially Savvy

Socially Savvy Sharing wonderfulness that inspires us and refines us. šŸŒŸ
Polishing people from the inside-out. Does any of this sound familiar?

Author/speaker, teaching hardcore softskills, etiquette, & exceptional customer care. We live in a world where we are more technically savvy than socially savvy, and where we are more self-centered than customer-centric. Our culture is mislead into thinking that an exceptional education and excellent work experience is all we need to climb the ladder to success. Not true, the rain-makers in life a

re those who understand how to use their soft skills to be more confident and put others at ease which builds relationships, and allows us to be more successful in all areas of life. Unfortunately many of us were never taught the basics and others have forgotten them and need to polish-up. Then letā€™s get Socially Savvy together!

Read this and change your life: ā€œTake responsibility for your own happiness. When you hold other people responsible for your happiness, you put all the pressure on them and you set yourself up for guaranteed big disappointment. The thinking works like this: 'If only they were different, I'd be happy. They must change. Then, you are left with that helpless, "it's their fault" feeling.
Remember: How you feel is entirely in your control, and no one else's.
Life changes and you become a strong, more loving, independent person,
-- Paraphrased from Richard Carlson, ā€œDonā€™t Sweat the Small Stuff (and itā€™s all small stuff)ā€

"Greatness is not achieved by accumulating vast sums of money, broad fame, or great power in government. When you help someone -- in one of a thousand possible ways -- you help the world. Kindness costs nothing, yet it is priceless."-- Warren Buffett
This was the quote in Steve Gilbert's "Win Your Day."
In his story today, he tells how he & his wife gave an old car to a college student and it changed ... all of their lives. We don't have to give away something that costs money, it could be a kind word, or letting someone merge in traffic, or a sincere smile.
Go let your light shine today and you will change the world! šŸŒŸ

To make you smile today!šŸ˜

Socially Savvy Program
Day Three:
A sixth grader who attended the day before came to ask if she could take the class again. The teacher said no the class was full. So I asked what she liked most about the class.

Her answer: The Breadsticks! šŸ˜‚
Oh & also the buffet etiquette rule! So I only have to wait for one more person to sit back down at my table before I can start eating. šŸ˜

Me: Hold on, Iā€™ll get you a breadstick to go. šŸ„–
