Message From Jeanette

I have just returned from a week in Dallas viewing the new Juliana summer collection. What beautiful clothes! We will be showing the summer collection from April 20th through April 28th. For this show, Claudia Cruz will be working with me. Claudia owns Da Vinci Shoes. She and her father (from Columbia) make handmade shoes. She has just made a pair of short boots for me, and currently, she is making a pair of tall boots for me and a pair of shoes for my husband. Talk about comfortable! Be sure to see her at the show. For more information about the shoes, click here.

If you read the "Tip of the Week on January 5th, you will know that I have teamed up with Sandy Rivera to do some joint training. We have just completed putting together over twelve modules that we are offering. We are very excited about this endeavor. For more information click here or contact the offices of Professional Polish..

Got A Pet Peeve?

One reader writes in about her increased irritation with people who pick their teeth in public.

Ask Jeanette

 

Q If the owner of a hair salon does your hair, do you still tip him?

 

A Normally, you would not tip the owner, but when they are also the stylist, it is customary to tip them.

 

NOTE:  We have several questions pending, and we take them in the order they are received. Keep looking for yours.

Answers To The Last Week's Question:

Almost everyone displays nonverbal clues when lying. Select the ones you think indicate that a person might be lying.

  1. Left-hand eye rubbing while speaking

  2. Left-hand ear tugging while speaking

  3. Covering mouth while speaking

  4. Consistent avoidance of eye contact

  5. Move body away from you

  6. Peering over glasses

  7. Squint eyes

  8. Crossed arms and legs with body forward

  9. None of the above

  10. All of the above

  11. #4 and #5

  12. #3, #4, #5 and #6

These messages are important. When one party suspects that the other is lying or concealing information, it brings open communication to a halt.

Question For The Month

True or False?  You're working over the weekend on a project that is due next week, and you need some information from a colleague in order to finish it. In this circumstance, it would be fine to call him at home.

Do you update your virus protection program on a regular basis? For those of you who are whizzes at the computer, this may be a ridiculous question - however, for us struggling computer users, this is a real concern. This is from one who just lost her entire data base from a virus! PLEASE check out your virus protection program to be sure you are well projected should the worst happen. And don't forget to back up your data.

As I was writing this newsletter, I stopped to check my emails, and I received an article that is on this very subject. I have no idea how it was sent to me - but I will share it with you. Please click here.
