Etiquette Series - Powerful First Impressions: How to Meet and Greet

Description

Tuesday, February 18 from 12:00pm to 1:30pm - Powerful First Impressions: How to Meet and Greet

Today in the fiercely competitive business arena, etiquette is simply another tool you need.  While etiquette alone won't get you anywhere, it will give you that extra edge that will make the difference between you and another person who is just as smart.  Business Etiquette for Today will empower you to present yourself with confidence and authority.

A lot of business is conducted at parties and dinners, meetings that on the surface seem purely social. Knowing how to take advantage of the potential in these situations adds to your nine-to-five abilities. Many professionals are not at ease in such meetings. 

Savvy dining skills play a major role in the business arena today. Top management at many Fortune 500 companies take potential front line employees to lunch or dinner to observe their comfort level with executives, spouses, wait staff, and yes, even myriad pieces of silverware. Like it or not, management equates good manners with competence in business and poor manners with incompetence.
