Why Attend?
Table manners play an important part in making a favorable impression. They are a visible signal of the state of our manners and therefore are essential to our professional success. Regardless of whether we are having lunch with a prospective client or dinner with a business associate, our manners speak volumes about us as professionals.
In addition, business relationships are developed and strengthened in social situations; therefore, mastering the art of fine dining adds to your competitive edge. Confidence in dining situation frees us from worrying about making mistakes. Everyone has experienced an awkward moment such as dropping a fork on the floor and wondering whether to pick it up or leave it there, or not knowing which utensil to use or how to use it.
What You will Learn
During this training session, you will learn to feel comfortable and self-assured in social and business dining situations. This fun and informative program includes role-playing exercises. This training takes you step-by-step through the elements of dining as you acquire the skills that elevate your demeanor from simply eating to fine dining. We teach how to be at ease as a guest or as a host in business and in social arenas.
