Providing relevant skills to college grads and high school students gives them an advantage as they transition to college or their chosen career path. A firm handshake, good conversational and listening skills and a willingness to learn earns respect. The Dining Etiquette session prepares you for business meals and out-of-office events so you can impress clients, your boss and your family.
Establishing a personal brand enhances your professional presence and determines how you will be perceived. Developing networking strategies and mastering the art of mingling sets the tone to build and maintain loyal business relationships. Dining know-hows are important when meeting casually over lunch or networking with VIP's and influencers.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Henry James (Author)
The Duchess of Bedford introduced Afternoon Tea to England in 1840. Traditional afternoon tea includes dainty sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and preserves, pastries, cakes and tea.
This hands-on experience helps you brush up on arranging place settings for multiple course meals, gives useful tips for tackling difficult foods and unusual utensils, and explains how your choice of wine can compliment the food you are serving. Join us for an entertaining evening and learn about table etiquette, seating and toasting protocols, and the differences between US and European dining styles.
