. . . a straight-forward approach to profitability

Good Manners is Good Business is a blueprint for business behavior. The program is fast-paced, entertaining and relevant for those interested in proper business protocol.

Dynamic, interactive and fun, many have found it great for conferences, personal growth seminars and sales meetings. In addition, some have used it for team building.

Audiences love their participation in this interactive, multimedia program. We kick it off with a quick, simple "Etiquette IQ" test (no studying is required) and then we build from there with a slide show and a video. We draw the fine line between stuffy manners and appropriate actions..

Two very popular added highlights include an actual meal with wine tasting. The meal can be either a lunch or a dinner. In either case, all issues of dining etiquette and protocol are applied to this real dining situation! When wine tasting is added to the program, we generally work with a well-known wine company. The wine tasting and instructions are conducted during what would normally be a "cocktail hour" before a dinner!

Including this dining and wine tasting experience in an offsite is particularly popular in smaller settings such as executive retreats, sales meetings and incentive conferences. Often spouses are included. Audiences find the topic fun and interesting. They enjoy the energy, enthusiasm and style of the presentation!

If you are looking for something unique, fun and very informative you might try this memorable program. Not only will you enjoy it, but your audience will thank you!
