The Office Professional: 60-minute Audio Conference
If you've ever found yourself lingering by the shrimp tree at a business networking event and wondering, "What am I doing here?" practicing a few simple etiquette tips could help you avoid looking like a cocktail weenie and take the work out of networking.
Polished professionals understand that you have to be prepared for anything. Whether it's an impromptu social event in the boardroom or a cocktail reception with important clients, some basic knowledge is the key to presenting yourself confidently and competently. Think how much more business you could accomplish if you weren't worried about how to shake hands while juggling a drink and a drippy eggroll; think how many meaningful contacts you'd make if you could successfully strike up a conversation with a stranger. Lew Bayer, internationally renowned etiquette expert, tells you how to present yourself competently when mixing business and social situations.
