I am a card-carrying etiquette nerd along with my guest, for this episode, Kristi Spencer, who spent over two decades working in the rough and tumble world of local news before becoming a certified business etiquette expert and launching her business The Polite Company. Why does it matter? Good manners are good for business. Good manners minimize or prevent problems with reputation and employee/client retention (which impact the bottom line), make you more memorable and good manners are key to building relationships, the foundation of all business. 9 Key takeaways: Assume good intentions Etiquette is built on consideration, respect and honesty Empowering etiquette means knowing how and when to ask for what you want Learn to disagree politely Rudeness is a two-way street (self-audit) Don't correct other people's bad manners if they're not in your immediate family You have two seconds to tell someone you've heard that story before Kindness and listening have a positive ripple effect Only say sorry when you really mean it  Kristi is a passionate advocate for workplace civility and professionalism and is regularly called on to provide etiquette expertise for media outlets.

Civility with Kristi Spencer

Family dinners and treating each other with respect was always the family motto.  Both Kristi and her mother, Carla grew up in Kansas on a farm in a very small town. Kristi was so inspired by the work of Emily Post, that she founded "the Polite Company" where she enjoys helping people of all ages become aware of the impression they make on coworkers, friends and family. For Kristi, it's inspiring to see  her clients/students feel more confident once they have a few tools to help them in professional and personal settings.  Many of her students are first generation college attendees seeking to accomplish what's never been attainable in their family's history.Emily Post wrote her very first book on etiquette in 1922 as a 5o year old divorced mother. Her guidelines incorporate the belief that "etiquette has nothing to do with your last name, it has nothing to do with where you're from, it has nothing to do with how much money you have , it has everything to do with how you treat other people.  And learning manners and etiquette costs $0.00."They've released  the 100th Centennial version of Ms. Post's book on etiquette  with the inclusion of technology and social media.Kristi shares many wonderful stories of her relationship with her mother and all that her mother has taught her throughout her life. And some advice Kristi gives is "being polite doesn’t mean you have to be a door mat!Hope you enjoy the listen.
