Round Table Discussion... Be A Pro... "Talk Less, Smile More"

* Please note this is a Virtual Chapter Meeting - we will NOT be meeting in person this month *

Round Table Discussion...Be A Pro..."Talk Less Smile More"

In the popular musical Hamilton, the chatty Alexander Hamilton was given advice from Aaron Burr, "Talk less, smile more. Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for..." (Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda)

How can we as professional organizers take this same advice? What we share with our clients can reveal things about ourselves that may come off as less professional. Whether you work on your own, are working on a team, or run a team, having a tamed tongue can take your professionalism up a notch. Hear from a panel of NAPO Michigan members on how they handle their conversations on the phone and on the job, and what they expect if they hire you on their team.

Whether you organize underwear drawers or help a client's employee understand ways to be more productive, being more aware of what you say, makes a difference.
