Fear of embarrassment from doing or saying the wrong thing is one of the most common sources of stress in a business or professional setting.
Many people have had some awkward moments where they aren’t sure which fork to use or which side plate is theirs, or they have had to make small talk with some VIP and been lost for words. However, what can be even more damaging to a person’s career are those things they aren’t aware of, the social gaffes they aren’t even aware of making, such as e-mail and telephone etiquette.
This one-day workshop will help you teach participants:
- The elements of a good handshake
- How to manage business cards
- Professional telephone etiquette
- Tips on remembering names
- Ways to make a good first impression
- The basics of dining etiquette
- How to communicate properly and politely
