Holiday Gatherings
Every year-end, we recall the hilarious movie, “Home for the Holidays”. The movie focused on the quirkiness of family members and all the trappings that went with the holiday. No doubt most of us can relate.
As this might arise for you, consider focusing on the better qualities of the one who annoys you the most. When in conversation, try speaking on the topic the two of you may best agree upon. By accommodating their needs, even though it may not be reciprocated, at the very least the time spent together will be more pleasant. And as appropriate, excuse yourself politely to move on to someone you enjoy more.
On a side note, should new acquaintances join you, it’s quite possible one may be a connection for your entrepreneurship or next job interview. Modeling professional behavior will make a positive impression and bring about a possible offer.
