Micro-Manners for a Fast-Paced World.

Some of the strongest human signals are tiny. Carrying a handkerchief. Writing a thank you note. Introducing people thoughtfully.


Small acts with the ability to nudge the world in a better direction.


In a world moving faster, micro-manners become differentiators.


I’m starting a short series: Micro-Manners for a Fast-Paced World - feel free to suggest what you would add.
