Lots of Good Tips!

After graduating from USC's MBA program, the author enrolled in a year-long program at the John Robert Powers finishing school. This has led to her working as a Confidence Coach to minimize or eliminate the insecurity and embarrassment of not knowing how to behave in some situations. She also sees this as consistent with her teaching people how to incorporate the Bible into their daily lives. Basics of getting people to like you include smiling, listening, respecting others' opinions, not being a moocher, being humble, remembering names, praising the small and large accomplishments of others, and maintaining a positive attitude. In money situations, try to never ask a friend for a loan, never brag about the high cost or brand name of anything. "Social Smart" goes on with a number of short chapters providing hints for eg. making small talk, networking, job interviews, email, giving and receiving gifts, etc.
