Everyone has a red carpet moment, at least once, in their lifetime. You may not be a contender for a gold-plated statuette at an awards ceremony, but when opportunity knocks, you will want to act like this level of extravaganza is business as usual. Instead of succumbing to the fear of not measuring up, why not make the most of it? Whether it's an invitation to a gala out of your social league, a surprise acknowledgement for some altruistic act, or a dinner in preparation for your wedding day, don't let the attention intimidate you.
