In conversations do you tend to dominate or take a backseat?  If you want to follow the rules of good etiquette - you should avoid dominating the conversation by only talking about yourself for around 20 seconds. According to this week’s Habits & Hustle guest, etiquette expert Sara Jane Ho, using this guideline will foster a more interactive, balanced dialogue, and deeper connection.  Listen as we discuss all the life experiences that drove her to open an etiquette school in Beijing for adult women. She also shares the true impact of making a strong first impression, especially in the world of modern dating dating, how she landed a Netflix show, and the evolving norms of social etiquette in the post-COVID world.  We also discuss the challenge of dancing around the fine line between curiosity and intrusiveness, noting cultural differences in what's considered polite or rude, and the intersection of East meets West and female empowerment - especially in business! Sara Jane Ho is the star of Netflix’s “Mind Your Manners”, author of the book of the same name, founder of Chinese finishing school, Institute Sarita, where students are taught etiquette and lifetime skills.
