Survival Tip #5:
Keep your reputation intact and avoid becoming another Vodka Fountain statistic with these helpful tips for mixing work with play:
- Abide by the three-drink rule. Once you have had three drinks, put your business cards away. Take a break from discussing business and politics. Arguing your position on tax cuts in an Irish accent on the stage at Sinclair’s won’t win you any votes.
- Keep your voice low when discussing which attendee you would like to vote off the island. Sound carries on the high seas.
- Plan ahead. If you see a walk-of-shame in your future, rent a bike.
- Exercise caution when climbing into the horse carriage. One misstep can land you in deep doodie (literally).
Do:
- Treat the ice luge like it’s your personal water fountain. Keep your lips to yourself.
- Be a food vacuum. The shrimp is certainly delicious, but this isn’t your last meal.
- Dance on anything, but a dance floor.
- Unintentionally hand out your room key instead of your business card ;)
- Save your big pitch for last call. This will only ensure that you never get a call.
- Try to match wits with L. Brooks – it is a battle you will never win.
- Think what happens in Mackinac, stays in Mackinac. It doesn’t. See Observation badge for further explanation.
