THE GOAL

Inspire your team and build confidence by giving them a set of business etiquette skills including restaurant dining, technology etiquette, verbal and non-verbal communications, and proper business attire. Our goal is to offer companies and universities similar training advantages to that of large Fortune 500 companies. By offering comprehensive training in business social skills you will foster seamless interactions between your staff and your clients by increasing success and confidence in both professional and personal situations. 

THE PROCESS

Each new client is taken through an extensive list of questions to determine how to identify and capitalize on hidden opportunities and how to best craft each seminar. Mary’s hands-on approach will focus on tailoring each training session to the specific needs and challenges of the client. Each program can be presented as a stand-alone seminar or can be seamlessly joined to one of your company’s internal training sessions. All topics may be expanded on depending on the format of your program.  Mary is available to travel throughout the country to present training seminars keynote speeches, and one on one coaching.

DINING ETIQUETTE

Many business meetings and interviews take place over a meal as a way to get to know the real you, the person or company beyond the resume. In addition to which fork to use, the dining skills seminar covers when to arrive for a business lunch, phone etiquette at the table, as well as which foods lend themselves to a business meal. Find out how to avoid that awkward moment of who pays the check, and finally discover which bread plate is actually yours. Entertain clients with confidence knowing that you have the basics covered.
