• Be the shortest and authentic as possible. Since we are going to have to hear and say best wishes in the coming weeks, provided that the exercise is brief and authentic. As much as it looks like its author: if just a “Good year”, neutral and impersonal, is not necessarily the best thing to do, it is necessary, however, to avoid the monologue, or “tunnel” of five minutes, watch in hand, with adjectives ampoulés and other sentence extenders that are rarely to the taste of the questioner, or of the public present in the surroundings…
• “My most sincere best wishes”, “And especially health”… and other phrases cliché. exercise is essential and therefore it has its own set of language elements. At best, they sound a little hollow, and at worst, border on the ridiculous! Avoid these words and phrases is not a bad thing if you want to be audible.

• Banish a kiss on the cheek routine. In the case where kissing is the norm in business, the early days of 2019 are not going to change much in the routine. In contrast, for the other, it is possible to come across personalities that are systematically a kiss on the cheek as soon as they wish a happy new year: “Go, we kiss each other!” Curious custom! “With each new year it is the same, the boss made the rounds of the offices and made the kiss to the whole world, without exception, even the trainees, explained to the Figaro a consultant in a parisian agency, who prefers to remain anonymous. Kissing his collaborators even as it ignores their name is a little weird.” Sobriety is not a bad idea either, including the “boss”!

On the other hand, you persist to not wish a happy new year to your loved ones and colleagues, and grumble when you are presented with a greeting is not recommended… If you have the option of “posing” your first few days of the year, you will likely be next to the large wave of wishes. Otherwise, it will take you there fold!
