Dining Etiquette

 

Dine with Decorum

​

Business meals are an important opportunity to build relationships and having confidence in your manners is key to navigating the meal and representing your company well. From when to start the business talk to the correct handling of flatware, one of the toughest tasks is talking and eating professionally and with confidence, especially with the opportunity for blunders around every corner. Having good dining etiquette is an important life skill, that translates into overall confidence. 

 

The first part of this module reviews meal ordering, navigating your place setting, correctly using utensils and some essential dining manners. In second part, with newly acquired skills and the new level of confidence you will enjoy a three-course luncheon where you will put everything in to practice, with the opportunity to ask questions and clarify doubts. This session will enable you to focus on being socially engaging with those around you instead of fretting over potential table mishaps.
