30th SPDP Programme - Social Etiquette

Today' session was even more fun than yesterday. The instructor is from The Leading Image Pte Ltd, who is Ms Marion Teo. The class size is 30 students. Guess what ? I met farhan, the photography guy that i met during basic photography class as well as Amanda, my SP CFP 2006 friend. From this programme, i get to meet new friends.

I learn useful skills that is essential for working life from asking questions politely to listening to people & to understand non verbal cues. I learn that when we meet new people, we must gave formal greeting by saying gd morning, do a hanshake & maintain eye-contact.

At the end of the lecture in between, there are some activities like grp discussion, where we need to rephrase negative sentences to positive ones. Another activity that we do is standing on 2 rows & practise communcation with one another. I enjoy doing it & I feel fresh about it & confident. Thank You very much, Ms Teo. I feel an ease, communicating around with people well now. Let me share with you a quote:

"You never get a second chance to make a first impression" - Will Rogers
