I will remember that modern business etiquette is gender-neutral. Whoever gets to a door first should open it.

Don't tiptoe. Everyone sees you. Just get set up quickly and quietly and get ready to be part of the meeting.

Practicing good respiratory etiquette by covering your mouth when you cough and washing your hands frequently will go a long way to stopping this contagion.

Ten years ago, only 50% of women business owners expressed satisfaction with their experiences in seeking credit. According to this new study, that number has grown to over 70%. Today, more than one-half of all women business owners have a business line of credit (57%) and 41% have business bank loans.

I think the business community is smart enough to realise that just having a trade union is not enough. They are smart enough to know they need to be part of a union that has political and financial power.

No matter how well you know the rules of netiquette, you will eventually offend someone who doesn't.
