Office holiday party season has kicked-off. It never hurts to review the rules that successful people follow so they can face their co-workers the next day.
- It’s OK to be the first to arrive but don’t be the last to arrive
- Do speak to each C-Suite member you see, don’t avoid them
- Do remember it is a business event, don’t mistake it for a college party
- Do sample everything, don’t stuff your face like you haven’t eaten all month
- Do order a drink you don’t like to pace yourself, don’t guzzle drinks one after another
- Do keep your secret office romance a secret, don’t start showing PDA at the party
- Do shake hands and tell everyone goodbye, don’t sneak out
- Do make an appearance at the after party, don’t forget it is still business
- Do look like you are enjoying yourself, don’t look bored or bothered
- Do have fun and let your hair down, don’t forget you have to face these people tomorrow
