I’ve been breaking the rules for as long as I can remember. But that doesn't mean rules don't matter. The way I look at it, you can’t break a rule unless you know and understand it. Then, when you break it infrequently and intentionally, it carries so much more weight and emphasis than just doing things by the book. This applies to: ✍️ Writing — Go ahead and start the occasional sentence with "and", use fragments, invent a word. But not every time or else we grammar police will assume it's because you just don't know the right way to do it. 💼 Business — Zig when others zag. Those brave enough to break outside the expectations will enjoy the benefits of uncrowded territory. 👻 Career Growth — Do: allow your individuality to shine through so people remember the person as well as the talent. Don't: arrive uninvited for an unscheduled skip-level meeting at your boss's boss's house. 👶 Parenting — ice cream for dinner on occasion is an amazing way to get your kids' attention. Ice cream for dinner every night is a good way to get CPS's attention. 🦅 Where else? — there are opportunities to break the rules and stand out in just about every area of our lives, personal and professional. Make breaking the rule a powerful exception. Rulebreaking can be a secret weapon so long as we use it infrequently and with discretion. How have you broken the rules recently? (Please note I said "the rules" and not "the law." We don't need the FBI involved today.) #rulebreaking #grammarpolice #lifehacks #careeradvice #businessgrowth

How long do you want to be committed to your complaints? "I don't know what to do." While many leaders don't say this out loud, we all know, at times, we're thinking it. So what do we do? We avoid the issues that we don't know how to solve and as a result we tolerate being stuck, frustrated or tired, [Limited Time Offer] Use the link in my bio to book a complimentary call and discover what has been stopping you from the results you're after.

This is great advice. If you make it easy for me to review now, I’ll be more likely to spend my time mentoring you on the pleading instead of setting it to the side and reviewing when you aren’t around.

Associates, need another easy way to be a partner’s favorite? If you’re sending an opposition, reply, or answer for the partner’s review, go ahead and attach the thing you’re responding to too. It takes you 2 minutes (if that) and you probably know exactly where it is. Not only will the partner be happy you made her life easy, you’re probably going to spend less time in inbox purgatory. If I have to hunt down the complaint you answered or motion you opposed, I’m more likely to say “meh, I’ll do this later.” But if you’ve given me everything I need, I’ll look at it right now. Sometimes it really is the easiest things that make a good impression and mark you as helpful.

Overusing "please" in emails and job applications, especially at the beginning of sentences before verbs, can indeed make the text feel redundant and repetitive, possibly losing its meaning and diluting its intended politeness. More "pleases" don't make it more polite, but instead, make it annoying and distracting for some readers including myself (I am autistic and neurodivergent) who notice that most sentences start with the same word and letter. It is possible to still use a courteous and respectful tone without starting sentences with "please," and limiting its use can make it more clear and engaging. For example, in emails with 3 sentences, make sure that no more than 1 sentence starts with "please." Share to spread awareness!

1. Don't ask for an honest opinion when you know you're looking for whom to ambush with their aired opinion. 2. If toxicity has impaired workflow/synergy, be prepared to shift ground or reach a compromise if you observe that the source has made a genuine reversal, especially when it's of their own thoughtfulness and they're being consistent.

Great tips here. Sorry is a word used way too often and sometimes not necessary!

Stop Over-Apologizing: Communicate with Confidence We often hear the phrase "I'm sorry" in both professional and personal settings. But is it always necessary? Over-apologizing can undermine your confidence and send the wrong message about your self-worth. Instead of defaulting to "sorry," consider these alternatives: Acknowledge the situation: “Thank you for your patience” or “I appreciate your understanding.” Own your actions with confidence: “I’ll take care of this” or “Let’s work on a solution together.” Focus on the positive: “Here’s what I can do to improve the situation.” Remember, you don’t need to apologize for every minor inconvenience. By reducing unnecessary apologies, you can communicate more assertively and boost your professional presence.
