Jan Goss featured on the Fox News Radio

Jan Goss, founder of Show Up Well Consulting and etiquette expert, discusses the evolving culture of tipping during the holiday season on WHO Radio. She explains that tipping has shifted from an expression of gratitude to an obligation, leading to confusion and resentment. Jan emphasizes the importance of personal empowerment in deciding whether to tip, reminding listeners that guilt is optional. While generosity is encouraged, it doesn’t always have to be financial; acts like leaving positive reviews or praising service providers can also show appreciation. For the holidays, she recommends tipping individuals like hairstylists and house cleaners when possible, noting that giving with a generous heart benefits both the giver and recipient. Ultimately, Jan advocates for intentional, guilt-free generosity that aligns with personal circumstances.
