Etiquette seminar

We all prefer dealing with others that have mastered the basics of social behaviour and interactions. There is a great demand for more information on what are the appropriate rules of etiquette in modern life.
 

There is no doubt that both in business and in private life it is that much easier to get ahead if you know how to behave appropriately. In addition, it is simply a pleasant feeling to know that you can move among others freely and confidently. The three-part series of seminars on matters of etiquette will give you a solid theoretical base, and participants will experience numerous practical exercises during the course.

Business etiquette

Be it a job interview or a lunch meeting with a new business partner: it is almost always the first impression that decides whether a meeting will be a success or a failure. How can you influence these moments? Learn the most important rules that will enable you to achieve greater success in these deciding seconds in your life.

Social interactions and behaviour

What is it that the French call "esprit de sonduite"? How do some people manage to appear more agreeable and more competent than others? To achieve a good impression, your appearance and behaviour must be appropriate at the very first glance. This applies in private life, and even more so in formal business meetings. 

Modern table manners

Table manners are subject to change over time. But which table manners are really acceptable today, and what is simply crusty and old-fashioned? How should a guest behave at a festive table, and can he interpret the signs given by the cutlery and glasses provided? The role of the host often appears to be a simple one. In reality, every occasion requires a great deal of preparation and planning.
