Answered by 

Steve Kerwick

1. Always walk with confidence. Shoulders back, chest out, head up. Take slow measured strides.
2. Listen intently and maintain eye contact.
3. Pause before speaking. Make silence your friend and make others anticipate your words.
4. Always maintain control over your emotions. Remain calm and poised at all times.
5. Ask lots of questions before speaking your mind.
6. Show compassion, empathy and sympathy towards others who deserve it.
7. Never admonish others in public or in front of friends, family or colleagues. Do it in private.
8. Always dress sharper than what’s called for on the invitation.
9. Never be drunk, distraught, embarrassed or panicked in public. Show that you are always calm, cool and collected.
10. Be humble, courteous and kind to everyone you meet.
11. Stand your ground against bullies, loud mouths and know-it-alls, but do not engage them. Simply look through them with unblinking, intelligent disgust and move on.
12. Treat women with respect and dignity. Offer your seat, open the door, let them go first.
13. Don’t brag, embellish or inflate stories about yourself or your adventures. Stay mysterious.
14. Always negotiate from a position of power.
15. Never let anyone know your plans, your business, your successes or failures.
