Business Etiquette: Elevator, Doors & Dining

In today’s professional world, etiquette isn’t about gender; it’s about respect.

Whether you’re opening a door, calling the elevator, or paying the bill, the question isn’t Who’s male or female? But rather, Who’s the host? Who’s the senior? Who’s the client?

The golden rule is simple: the person showing respect leads the way.

Hosts hold doors, invite others to order first, and always settle the check. In elevators, you step ahead to call and hold the door; in revolving doors, you push so your guest doesn’t bear the weight.

And that old phrase "Ladies first"? Retired.

Today, it’s as easy as a polite, inclusive "After you."

Business etiquette has evolved; it’s no longer about outdated gender codes but about creating comfort, showing professionalism, and making people feel valued.

Is Your Wardrobe Toxic?

What You Wear Might Be Undermining Who You Are.
