We also offer a special dining program known as Dine Like a Diplomat.

The world is experiencing a rapidly expanding global economy. In this competitive atmosphere, good dining skills are a must, whether you are conducting business abroad or entertaining international clients here in the U.S. Your manners, especially your table manners, are very important to executives in and from other countries. Outside of the U.S., manners are important qualifications for executive positions. You will need the same qualifications to compete successfully in the international arena.

DINING SKILLS

 

Be at ease as a guest or host/hostess.

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, waitrons, and, yes, even myriad pieces of silverware. Like it or not, management equates good manners with competence in business and poor manners with incompetence.

To climb the corporate ladder, it is up to you to seize every opportunity to distinguish yourself and your employers from the competition. Dining Skills for Today will give you a useful set of tools for those special situations where business relationships are developed and strengthened in social settings. An on-site tutorial luncheon or dinner will be served.
