QUESTIONS OF ETIQUETTE

IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME TO TALK?

Where and when matters when it comes to talking. With that in mind, try not to ask someone how they’re doing unless you’re ready to hear a real answer. For example, don’t ask the question as you’re exiting the elevator, when the person you’re talking to isn’t. Also not a good idea: asking when you’re within earshot of people not connected to the conversation. As one newly divorced woman said, “First of all, don’t bring it up in front of a group of people. If you are really asking out of real concern, do it discreetly.”

If you want to connect, to find the right time, you can always ask: “When is a good time to connect?” or just make an overture for lunch or coffee. Or just send an email, note, or card. Don’t think that you need to be available at the drop of a hat for any kind of emotionally intense conversation. Unless the person you’re asking is in trauma mode or shock, you’ll probably win points for thoughtfulness and discretion.
