Standing Up

• Always stand up when making an introduction or shaking hands.
  • If you are seated and someone approaches to greet you, make the effort to stand up.
    • It is appropriate to do so whether you are a man or a woman.
  • By standing up, you are showing respect for yourself and for the other person.

• When standing up:
  • Button your suit coat.
  • Stand up straight.
    • People will be judging your posture.
