Hi Arsalan
Hey
sorry about Sunday, my meeting with James ran over
time and we couldn't discuss the professional cheat
sheet
I am going to be away on leave until Monday, Sept 5
but in the mean time, please do work on it so that we
are not too behind on time
if you want we can talk briefly today?
or we can just chat here
I can share some of my thoughts and you can tell me
what you think you can get done?
Sure, we can chat here
ok great
so some of thoughts I had are:
1. elements of a professional email
2. talking to clients
actually scratch that let me rephrase
1. How to communicate professionally?
2. What do professional documents look like?
3. What makes up a professional attitude?
4. How can you look professional?
We can have email etiquettes, talking to the client
etc. as sub-themes under them
Yes exactly, so maybe the key categories can be:
Attitude, Appearance, Communication and Delivery
One thing, with regards to attitude, do you exactly
mean?
like emphasis on proactiveness?
Attitude can include things like: be proactive, if you
know something needs to get done, do it (or offer to
do it) before someone tells you to, say hello when
you walk in to a room, when stuck with something
you do not want to do, make the best out of it and
act positive rather than complain
It can also maybe include things like being punctual
and/or present
while other things are more concrete, this section
seems a bit different
yea i know
but its also important stuff
yeah, that's true
we can make it concrete
yea exactly
think of ways of making things specific I guess
instead of mentioning punctuality, we can mention "if
you're 5 mins early, you're on time"
maybe instead of saying things like be positive, we
can phrase it with something like "tasked with
something impossible? give it a shot before
confirming that it is"
yes exactly
so those are my thoughts on attitude
if you do some research you will get a lot more
suggestions
you can make a master list of everything you find
and then a short list of the good and concrete stuff
As for appearance, I was thinking not just dress, but
what you actually the superficial professional
appearance and how people perceive you - stuff like
don't always be on your phone or facebook in the

office when people are around :p

yeah, i can get started with it
Communication can have stuff like tips for emails,
attending calls, attending meetings, etc
and Delivery can include things like what professional
documents look like, reviewing your work before
delivering, ensuring that you answer all the questions
that were asked of you before delivering
thoughts?
this seems like a good list to begin populating
of course we can delete things that everyone does
follow at the end
I'll send you an email with all these points now
or things that are obvious
that would be great
but just sharing my initial things with you so you can
get started while I am away
yes exactly!
and also, in terms of format, I am thinking of
something highly visual, with less paragraphs and
more visuals
ideally if we can maybe fit into an A3 fold up or
something like that it would be nice
something short and simple that we can pass around
and people will like to look at
I think Oussama will be around if you want to run
anything by him
I won't have my laptop with me, but my phone will
work so I will be more than happy to answer
questions any time
sounds perfect
i'll consult Oussama whenever there'll be a need
how far do you think you can get in the coming
week?
If you can have a draft of what it might actually look
like with the key points we talked about and
whatever else you research and find useful, then we
can play around with it
I think I'll be able to have a draft master list within 2
days
great!
I will be back on tuesday the 6th so if you have a
draft by then that would be great
yeah, i'll surely have it by then
and try to keep a master list as well, so we can play
around with the tips

great
and happy eid!
travelling anywhere?
