I like to slip away at parties,
to leave without making a fuss.
This is the wrong thing to do
if you want to be remembered.
Carol Kinsey Gorman,
author of
The Silent Language of Leaders
shares
(this was written for men
but it applies to female leaders also)
“Don’t slip away.
Track down the hosts of the part
and everyone you had
more than casual words with.
Smile.
Shake hands.
Look at her long enough
to remember her eye color.
Say her name and then
“It was great talking to you
about Peru.”
(Unless you didn’t.
That was just an example.)
Letting her know
she was memorable
makes YOU memorable.”
Take the time
to say goodbye at parties.
