On-Site Training
Communication Skills for the Professional
Presentations, Business Etiquette, and Networking Skills for Washington
10 seconds! That's all
your staff get to make a favorable first impression. Our
training can help them shape their first impression and
all that follows.
Don’t send your staff
to any more business meetings or networking lunches without first
scheduling this course.
Your staff will gain the confidence they need to communicate any message clearly and effectively. In this course,
they will learn the basics of planning, structuring and delivering winning presentations.
They will also learn business etiquette
basics, including:
- Appropriate attire for
different
occasions
- Projecting a professional image
- Working a room
with authenticity and class
- How and when to
offer your business card, and what to do when
someone else offers theirs
- How to join and
exit conversations gracefully
- How to balance
your plate and navigate your way at receptions
What's
wrong with this picture?
Caution: this is a professional actor. Do NOT attempt this at an
actual business meal!
Your staff can wine and dine
your most valued client ... and
still lose the account--or not get asked back.
Good table manners
should be second nature so that your staff can concentrate on
the meeting, not on which fork to use. During our working lunch, our faculty review business meal etiquette,
so all of your staff can make a good impression and not make the
eight etiquette mistakes demonstrated in the picture above.
This course is ideal for
- Sales staff
- Editorial staff
- New attorneys and
accountants
- Managers
|
- Anyone newly posted to
Washington
- GS 5-15
- Anyone seeking a
job or wondering how to network in Washington.

Professional Image and Business Etiquette
In the DC environment of
rubber chicken lunches and awards and
fundraising dinners, having good table manners
or the lack of them says a lot about you. You

proper table manners for a standard business
meeting lunch.
