Maybe it’s because we both work in communications fields, but we believe that good communication is the foundation of a happy workplace! Whether you’re moving into a new industry or working with a partner or customer who’s a little more formal, we think it’s important to know some of the fundamental dos & don’ts of professional communications to avoid misunderstandings and leave a good impression.

A few of the rules we discuss include:

- what should (and should NOT) be put in writing

- the importance of a timely and thoughtful thank you note

- body language on video calls

- when sarcasm is appropriate

- punctuation triggers

- confrontation without conflict

- talking about sex, politics, and religion

- oversharing and office gossip

- & so much more!
