Let’s face it—many of today's adults grew up in a different world than their parents. During the time we were growing up, etiquette seemed less important than it did for previous generations, so we either never received etiquette instruction or ignored it. Only now are we realizing what we missed.
To make matters worse, we have two types of etiquette to deal with: social and business.
What's Proper? What's Improper?
When you eat out, what’s the proper way to eat bread? Spaghetti? Should you order a drink at lunch if the boss does? Should men open a door for the new female executive? Should they open a door for the boss’ wife? Must a woman wear hose? Just as we get the questions answered, more appear. That's because business etiquette is based on a different code of conduct than social etiquette and changes as business changes. Social etiquette changes much more slowly, but changes nonetheless.
The Etiquette School of Birmingham can help you fill in the blanks with business training for professionals and social etiquette for a new millennium.
Training Options Include:
• SEMINARS for busy executives who want to make sure they are projecting the most professional image possible. These seminars can be conducted on-site for several employees of the same company, or outside the company with participants from several different companies.
• ONE-ON-ONE consultations with executives at a time and a location of the executive's choosing.
• IN A COLLEGE SETTING, seminars for soon-to-graduate students who wish to round out their instruction with etiquette skills that will help them project a positive image at job interviews and in social situations as well as give students a heads-up on business etiquette once they land that first job.
• SOCIAL ETIQUETTE instruction for dinner parties and supper club gatherings.
