Etiquette Express

Polished etiquette is essential to successful self-presentation – in business as in life. For many people, though, the thought of which glass is for red wine and which is for white, or how to address a business executive from a foreign country rattles their nerves.

Fear not. In a comfortable, one-on-one meeting I will give you the personalized knowledge you need to relax, enjoy, and get the most out of all your social interactions – here in Canada and overseas.

Lunch and Learn
Etiquette Express is a customized approach to answering your specific questions about courtesy and manners.

In just two hours spent over lunch, I will help you to understand the ins-and-outs of gracious behaviour. I will also keep an eye on your table manners and offer gentle advice to help you improve your dining style.

The result: You will come away from our meeting feeling more knowledgeable, confident, and well-fed.

Tailored to You
Each Etiquette Express participant has a particular set of concerns that reflects his or her personal and professional situation. For example, here are some of the topics I have recently been asked to cover:

  • Dining in diplomatic circles
  • Graceful small talk at business cocktail parties
  • Enjoying meals with Japanese hosts
  • Politely navigating gender in the Middle East
  • Forms of courtesy in Britain and Europe

Before your Etiquette Express seminar I will consult closely with you to identify the topics you wish to cover. That will enable me to tailor our meeting to ensure the experience fulfills – and possibly exceeds – your expectations. If you are interested in culturally-specific dining etiquette I would be pleased to select an appropriate restaurant from among Toronto’s many high-quality multicultural establishments.

Cost: $200
Each seminar includes:

  • Pre-dining consultation (via phone and/or e-mail)
  • Restaurant selection and reservation
  • A delicious meal with wine or other beverage
  • Knowledgeable tutoring while we dine

Please get in touch with me to discuss your interests and goals. I am looking forward to helping you unlock the power of etiquette.
