Corporate Etiquette & Professional Image
Course Outline
In a social situation, the image you portray says a lot about you, the person. When it comes to business, your image need to represent everything that your company stands for.
Awkward introductions, weak handshakes, poor communication, sloppy attire, lack of consideration and poor table manners can negatively affect your career and business relationships.
Etiquette and protocol intelligence will distinguish you from the crowd. While this unique intelligence alone may not seal the deal for you; it will give you a leading edge between you and another competitor who is just as smart!
