Etiquette isn’t about rules or trying to be someone you’re not – it’s about making people feel comfortable around you.
In today’s workplace, being good at your job is just the starting point. How you communicate, carry yourself, and show up in everyday moments – meetings, networking chats, or even business meals – shapes how others see and trust you.
