best things I was ever told is to act dim, let others be the big-mouths

 

do you have any other key ideas?

I don't think act dim is the way to go but I agree with talk less & listen more as well as let others underestimate you.

 

 

Best business lesson I learned which was also one of the toughest to implement for me was how to network / do personal marketing. Those first few times it's tough to walk into a room full of strangers, shake their hands & try to drum up business. As a woman, especially, I was very worried that if I tried to talk to a man at one of these events he would think I wanted to sleep with him, not get him to buy my business services (I'm not in the oldest profession)

The best thing I learnt: Everything is running smoothly because you are under-utilizing your resources.

 

 

The best thing I was told: Don't believe people who say yes to your every word.

I have learned to ask first, speak second. I find a "help me help you" approach has been very beneficial for me in building relationships.

I've learned always to cover your own...well you know how the rest goes.

 

In politics, a state legislature always told me to arrive fashionably late. I could never understand that. I told him, as a shy person, I don't like to late as all eyes will be upon me as I walk into the room. He famous words said, "exactly." "You want to make a statement."

 

Gawd! I miss that guy! RIP and thank you for your service. He was our first black Lt. Governor in CA.

 

When I attend my meet and greets political events, guess what, I show up fashionably late and I seem to catch all the who's who when I'm there and I do make a statement.

Always double check the account number you put on deposit slips.

 

Fortunately, the error was to the employer's benefit.

Whenever you have a situation that will likely turn to crap, involve as many co-workers in the process as possible.

HR is there to protect the company not the employee. Never think they are on your side.
