Agreed so much on bring pen and paper(extras never hurts), so important to drop everything down in note form so you don't forget any tiny bits of info which may comeback to haunt you afterwards!!!!!!

Hi from the UK

[@EmandLloyd]

Hi Jojo!

[@bear1102]

From the country and industry that I came from, people don’t apply these tips and lots of backstabbing around. At times, I even find myself at the losing end trying to apply these best practices. In my world, people play it dirty yet trying to act noble. Nonetheless, thanks for the video.

[@Mthomilk]

Which one is your country?

[@EmandLloyd]

Sorry to hear this - there are difficult people and situations like this in the legal profession as well, but thankfully we have mostly managed to avoid them. We do have some strategies we’ve used in the past to deal with people like this though, which could be good to share in a future video. Thanks for watching!
