Quotes to ponder:
"Take the time to look your best and dress appropriately for the situation. You want to fit in; you don’t want your garments to draw attention away from yourself."
"Smile fully and look people in the eye. When they speak, nod and smile as if you understand what they are saying. Make others feel like they are very important to you."
"Do your best to speak clearly and at an auditory level that mimics others in the room. You neither want to be too quiet nor too loud."
