It’s ironic how many people are based on stereotypes to form an impression around a person.

And when they do they practically choose

a communication etiquette based on this assumption.

Appearance is just the tip of an iceberg called character.

Is it that impossible to follow?

I remember myself back in 2008

leading a TV Series production

as a co-producer and a screenwriter

with artists and people of the industry

talking to me using a plural tense

and trying to befriend me to either get

a role or a position within the production.

I then got more attached with my

efforts as an artist and people

started addressing me

with my first name,

asking if we could hang out

for a beer.

Varying roles followed ranging from

single Events Planning to

becoming the National Director on

an International Festival and then

getting involved with a World Final of that

tournament in Berlin.

During that time some people started using the

term Mr to address me.

Now I am a developing

Brands & Artist Liaison Manager

based in Manchester,

whilst I never stopped

being a Singer/Songwriter.

And that’s just HALF of my life’s story.

It’s funny that people tend to use different manners

based on a persons work identity

instead of trying to communicate with the

man behind the perception.

Let’s just be true to each other.

You reading this:

Start by being polite to the waitress

serving that coffee

who’s a student now and might become

your future manager.

Respect your partners

and remember that partnership

is a two-way street.

Treat people the same way

you would like THEM to treat YOU.

Good givers are ALWAYS great getters.
