Influence, Distinction and Style …business etiquette for an executive edge

Influence, Distinction and Style is an intensive one-day seminar on business etiquette.  It is offered to men and women aged 18+, with no upper age limit.

To succeed in today’s fast-paced and highly pressured business world, you know you need to perform at your best.  Two things that are unchanging in our world are the importance of being able to represent ourselves the very best we can, and being able to influence and collaborate effectively with others.  Additionally, the people we meet may have vastly different backgrounds than ours, therefore we need to know how not to stand out for the wrong reasons, but instead to facilitate smooth and positive interactions.

This comprehensive seminar teaches how to present ourselves powerfully, in order to have that edge in a highly competitive environment.  It is recommended for executives (and aspiring) as well as doctors, lawyers, bankers, public servants, diplomats, and anyone who is in business.

Topics included:

• Business etiquette
• Dining etiquette
• Styling for success
• Communication for maximum influence
• Business lunch power strategies
• Networking a room
• Excellence in correspondence
• Conducting business
• Public speaking.

Influence, Distinction and Style is a one-day seminar offered as a private individual or group course.  It is hosted at an appropriate hotel or business venue.  In private and small group formats, it may be delivered in 2 x 2.5 hour sessions.
