> Ask everyone on your team if they would like a tea or coffee every 2–3 hours each day

> Do it with a warm smile.

> If they say no — still smile & politely say “no problem, please let me know if you need anything!”

> And if they say yes, write down their order carefully so you don’t mess it up including any special requests (soya milk, 10 sugars etc)

> When you return with their beverage of choice, again make sure you give it to them with a warm smile!

That's not professionalism. That's just toadying. Junior people who do stuff like this creep me out. Who needs a sycophant?

Studies also show that doing "the women's work" type stuff at work actually hurts your chances for promotion.

This seems to rely heavily on social media, which most of us (understandably) shy away from.
