Smile & Succeed for Teens helped me realize that the way you put yourself into the world matters. I like how it includes ‘How To’ tips so we enter the subject prepared.

This book is very helpful as I often look down when I talk and I also have bad posture.

Smile and Succeed for Teens is a book designed to teach teens the tools and manners that go over looked so often. From when to text, hygiene and social situations this book covers everything you teens want to know (and didn’t want to ask an adult about). It’s a great stocking stuffer to give a teen so they can succeed in a world filled with technology instead of personality.

I read Smile and it is excellent! My daughters are not going into sales but I wanted them to read Smile also to improve how they present themselves in life. Smile is full of great tips.

Smile & Succeed for Teens is perfect for today’s children and young adults! It is concise, has entertaining characters to convey the message, and gives practical examples to use in today’s world. This book covers basic manners, teaches sales techniques but also skills on how to sell themselves as the best candidate when applying for a job. A suprise bonus is the chapter, Be A Rock Star, which addresses the personal benefits of fundraising and volunteering and looks great on a resume’. In each chapter includes fun-filled facts or tips and websites for more information on a specific topic. Well done, Mr. Manecke, five stars!
