Remember
the poem? If you can keep your head etc.
– well, how do you let them know you are keeping your head? Easy, smile.
Smile no matter what. Smile when
you greet your colleagues in the morning.
Smile when you shake hands. Smile
when it’s getting tough. Smile when it’s
hell. Smile no matter what.

Smile when you shake hands. Smile
when it’s getting tough. Smile when it’s
hell. Smile no matter what.
And
what sort of smile? Friendly, genuine –
make sure it extends to your eyes – sincere, frank, honest, open, happy. And the easiest way to make your smile all
these things is to believe them all.
This can’t be an act or it’ll be spotted immediately. It has to be genuine to appear genuine. You have to feel happy. You have to be enjoying this or your smile
will look insincere and false. And if you’re not enjoying this then stop
pretending with a fake smile and get hell out.

We’ll
assume your smile is real and that it comes from genuine happiness and
friendliness. Now it is legit to improve
on your smile, to rehearse it, to make it better. But it has to be there in the first
place. We’ll assume it is.

Look
in the mirror and smile. Chances are it
will look all wrong. Of course it
will. You can only see yourself front
on. And photos don’t work either, they’re in 2D and there is a lot missing when
you look at them. You need to see your
smile from all angles, in 3D, and there is only one way to see this and that is
on film – video or whatever.

“So, to improve your
smile, make sure you aren’t doing a lopsided grin, that your teeth can be seen
but not too much, that you look happy and honest. Keep practicing until you get it right”.
If
you feel embarrassed getting a partner or friend to video you so you can
improve your smile you’ll have to set it up yourself. Please don’t make the mistake I once
made. I was a finance manager and was
asked to cover for one of our supermarket managers for an afternoon. The store was empty and I spent a most
enjoyable afternoon practicing my walk, my smile, my general appearance on the
CCTV system in the store. I would go
back to the office and watch the results as I changed a slight part of whatever
bit I was unhappy with. It was great
fun. A few weeks later I was invited to
watch a special show for all the staff.
Yes, I had forgotten to wipe the tape and the shop manager – bless him –
had found it and had been putting on shows for all the general staff. I was forced to sit through the whole thing
while my jolly chums commented on it and pointed out where I was going
wrong. Very droll, very funny.
