7 Sure-fire Tips On Surviving the Holiday Office Party

“ Many a reputation has been tarnished or severely damaged by not knowing office party survival skills,” says Canadian speaker/humourist Mike Moore.

Moore, who speaks throughout Canada on Humour and Stress Management, believes that the holiday office party can be a risky, stressful experience if you don’t have the skills.

But never fear he is about to offer you 7 sure-fire tips on how to survive while still having a great time.

1. Don’t get drawn into destructive conversations about the boss . You can listen and say, “That’s interesting. I didn’t realize you felt that way.” Whatever you do don’t agree with a toxic comment.

2. Don’t let your hair down at an office party. You aren’t among close friends who love and admire you in spite of your shortcomings. There are some present who might consider you a threat and are just looking to identify and exploit a chink in your armour.

3. If you take a drink make sure you make it last a long time by taking small sips. Alcohol loosens lips and at an office party your lips should not be loosened.

4. Be careful what you say in party conversations. People under the influence of alcohol can easily distort what you say when they filter it through an alcohol induced haze. Once you say something you can’t take it back.

5. Throughout the party roam around taking in everything. Be friendly, smile, listen and monitor your mouth.

6. Don’t gossip about other staff members. You might be curious to know more but don’t appear to be too eager. Just listen.

7. Don’t flirt. It’s just too risky.

Do these and have a great time.
