Etiquette for Women

Video Transcript

"My name is Gabriela Garzon, and I work with G.G. Image & Etiquette Consulting in Miami, Florida. In this clip, we're going to discuss etiquette for women. Women should also be considerate to other persons as well women. They should provide a chair for the older person or even provide a chair for a pregnant woman, just like anybody else has to do it. Women should also be able to have a very firm handshake when they're meeting somebody else, even if it's in a business setting or just in personal life. Just because you're a woman, you're not supposed to give a fishhook as a handshake. You're supposed to be firm and powerful to show confidence and authority. Nowadays, for example, in a business dinner, if women is dealing with other men, she should not expect the man to pull the chair for her. She is supposed to seat herself, but however, if the man does seat her, she just has to say with a genuine thank you and a big smile and just seat herself. She should not be offended. Another thing that women should also have in mind is that we are not supposed to groom in front of other people. So let's put makeup before we leave home, or just at a bathroom. Again, this is Gabriela Garzon at G.G. Image & Etiquette Consulting."
