e really enjoyed putting this issue together. Our writers have contributed outstanding articles about Communicating. We communicate who we are in many ways. The way we present ourselves in the world . . . including our personal appearance, the attention we pay to our personal grooming, our wardrobe, hairstyle, posture, tone of voice, manner of speaking, and our word choices . . . speaks volumes.
There are business opportunities for Notaries in various communities throughout British Columbia.
Some of the Requisites for Becoming a BC Notary
Our habits show how much we respect ourselves and others. For example, being chronically late shows disrespect for the people waiting for us . . . who have made the effort to be punctual. Our body language talks, too . . . the classic image of the person in a meeting with arms firmly crossed over the chest can mean that individual’s mind is closed also.
• Undergrad degree with a CGPA not less than 3.0 • Interest in the practice of law • Strong entrepreneurial spirit • Strong communication and people skills • Dedication to community and serving the public
Today, with masks obscuring facial responses, I find we are using our eyes more to convey feelings of happiness, kindness, and sincerity.
• High degree of honesty and integrity
Note re. Working from Home: To alert family members that you don’t wish to be disturbed, simply wear a hat to silently signify you are busy at the moment. s
