A 19th Century journalist said, “The Dining Room is a Theater, the Table a Stage." So why do we teach to entertain? We do it to help people behave better towards one another, it's that simple! We are all judged by our appearances and behaviors, and today many employers will most certainly take a prospective employee to a meal to ascertain whether he/ she has the necessary entertaining and dining skills to be successful. More jobs have been lost due to lack of these skills!

Table manners are not just about which fork to use or where to place your napkin. Can you carry on a conversation during a meal? Are you a host that shows interest in your guests needs? From the 'reservation' to the 'toast' to the 'tip', this seminar will give you the necessary skills to feel confident at every social occasion where business will be conducted.
