IN PERSON SEMINARS

(VIRTUAL LIVE SEMINARS)

Being perceived positively can affect the outcome of any personal interaction to your advantage, including sales situations, negotiations, management functions, and career advancement.

What is Etiquette? In a nutshell, it is an unwritten code of behaviors designed to ease social interactions in both our personal and business lives. Learning and mastering the rules of etiquette will help you build confidence, engage with others, and progress professionally.

For many, the word ‘etiquette’ has somewhat unfairly acquired old-fashioned connotations that hark back to when gentlemen wore hats and ladies kept their hands covered by white gloves. Nothing could be further from the truth. Etiquette is just as relevant today as it was in Victorian times – perhaps even more so, as we live in a world where technological globalization has seen our daily interactions transcend geographical boundaries and move beyond face-to-face communication.

Respect, kindness, and consideration sit at the very heart of modern etiquette, and these principles should inform our conduct and behavior at all times.

OUR GOAL

The goal of our program is to educate individuals on the benefits of business etiquette, dining etiquette, corporate protocol training, soft skills, civility, and international cross-cultural awareness in an ever-changing, highly competitive environment.

The Power of a Professional Advantage: Etiquette Training Sessions

Whether business professionals are interacting in the conference room, over lunch, or in a virtual setting, research shows that their success depends more heavily on “soft skills” rather than on technical or fact-based knowledge. You are repeatedly making a first–and often lasting–impression! But attending these events can be intimidating and even paralyzing for many professionals. In this business etiquette workshop, your team members will learn how to confidently present themselves, how to mingle, make small talk, and develop relationships more easily. They will “learn by doing” how to give a correct handshake, make proper introductions and how to give or receive a business card. They will learn body language do’s and don’t’s and how to handle hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Establishing and building networks takes practice. But in this fun and interactive business etiquette seminar, your team members will gain the confidence and skills to attend any business reception or networking social with ease. They will leave this session with steps, tips, and strategies to make a positive first and lasting impression at any type of business social and reflect on your company’s brand and image with excellence.
