This course examines the basics of business etiquette: consideration for others, personal dress/appearance, the workplace versus social situations, business meetings, proper introductions and 'the handshake', conversation skills/small talk, cultural differences affecting international business opportunities, dealing with interruptions, and proper business email and telephone etiquette. Have you ever been in a situation where: • You met someone important and had no idea what to say or do? • You spilled soup all over yourself at an important business event? • You showed up at an important meeting under or overdressed? Let's face it: we've all had those embarrassing etiquette gaffes. Our Business Etiquette workshop will help your participants look and sound their best no matter what the situation.

• Define etiquette and provide an example of how etiquette can be of value to a company or organization. • Understand the guidelines on how to make effective introductions. • Identify the 3 C’s of a good impression. • Understand how to use a business card effectively. • Identify and practice at least one way to remember names. • Identify the 3 steps in giving a handshake. • Enumerate the four levels of conversation and provide an example for each. • Understand place settings, napkin etiquette and basic table manners. • Understand the meaning of colors in dressing for success. • Differentiate among the dressy casual, semi-formal, formal and black tie dress code.
