Why should you invest?

  • Executives claim the number one reason for not hiring someone is because they lack soft skills, including dining etiquette at a table of potential clients and future superiors.
  • Increasingly, business deals and interviews are being conducted over lunch, dinner and drinks; you need to be prepared to focus on the business, not on which fork to use!
  • Congratulations! You have a new client... But they are overseas and you want to be aware of their customs, and master the universally accepted Continental style of dining.
