Applied social intelligence

In a nutshell: if you join a new tai chi class, don't try to stand out or draw undue attention to yourself:

- gain a sense of perspective first
- observe how the students interact with one another and the Instructor
- learn what the etiquette and protocol translates to mean in practice
- ground yourself in the customs of the group
- learn the jargon, the rhythms and habits of the social network

After a very short space of time you will be part of the class.
