What PEOPLE ARE Saying
Testimonials
I just bought your book from Amazon. I want you to know, only picking a small comment, that I am Southern, a businesswoman, my husband’s business with a degree in medical technology. You would think I would know how to shake hands. I am humbled and embarrassed to say no one ever gave me any etiquette rules about shaking hands. I was appalled at how little I did know because I catch on easily. Honey I am Scarlett OHara of my neighborhood…these things I did not know and I have traveled the world. Small things, basic etiquette yes. I can not wait to get back to your book. Oh,the nuances that are involved in a simple handshake. Explained so well by you. Congratulations, I am impressed and will update up you as I read further. Happy to find you đ going to read now.

Magic would be the word for the timing and message Ms. Davis brings to the world. Love her book. As the General Manager of a Private Business Club in Los Angeles, California, I have the honor of meeting many people from all professions and occupations. The most consistent thread of conversation since the collapse of several major corporations has been the decay of corporate integrity and civility. Phyllis Davis is beneficial to business and society. She was a scheduled speaker at the Club for a three-part session by which she captured her audiences with the future essence and needs of business. The zest by which she presented this well-timed message infused and inspired all the attendees.

âMarketers whose eyes glaze over upon the utterance of the words business ethics might want to reconsider. Reasoned author-executive coach Phyllis Davis, if enough consumers or stores lose faith in various brands, âthere could be a domino effect that hurts our economy.â Davisâ low-tech solution? An old school brown bag lunch. âPeople need to sit together and talk about what works, what doesnât, and where things are breaking down in their companies,â she advised. âPeople need to go back and hold themselves accountable.â

“âMy boss called on me in a big meeting, and I could not answer. How bad is that?â âItâs not a career-buster, but you are expected to contribute if youâve been invited to a meeting, so do your best to make sure it doesnât happen again,â says Phyllis Davis, âIf it happens again, catch your boss after the pow-wow and say something like âPlease forgive me, Iâm looking into that question you raised and will have an answer for you by Friday. Is that okay?â âThis way youâre owning up to your mistake and also letting her know that she can still rely on you,â adds Davis.”
