Etiquette Quick Hit: Using the Best Forms of Address in Social Situations--S3.E13

In an Etiquette Quick Hit, we revisit a fundamental lesson in good manners and discuss how it applies today. In this episode, Mike, Kelly, and Marna look at suggested forms of address in different settings. Should children call adults by their first names, for example? What are the best practices for professionals, such as doctors and lawyers, to address their clients? We find in most cases it comes down to this: start with formal and then downshift to less formal as you get permission.

Ethics and Etiquette is a thought-provoking dialogue about everyday dilemmas. We offer insights and perspectives on sticky situations to help you scrutinize your choices and exercise your own ethical muscles. The podcast is presented by author and host Marna Ashburn; wife, mother, and attorney Kelly Halligan Zimmerman; and Mike Derrick, a retired Army Officer, combat vet, and father of four.

New episodes are posted the first and third Wednesday of every month. Find them wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts or listen at our website.
