Listen Later

Episode Brief: 
Have you ever called a business and felt like you weren't heard? Maybe you could tell that the employee was not happy to be on the phone. Well, today we talk about the power of a smile with Kirt Manecke, author and business owner! We cover strategies to support your teen to adapt and develop their social and professional skills and the critical role they play in both social and work life.

🔑 Key Takeaways:
It all starts with a smile:
  • The Power Of A Smile: Think about how we teach how to properly greet others, proper phone etiquette, and cleaning up social media accounts
  • Set High Expectations: Be the role model for your teen and start with baby steps. Consider volunteering opportunities to practice positive social and professional skills.
  • Role Play: Practice at home, at school, at the park with your teen whenever you can. Combine expectations with modeling to set the stage for success.
