Success with Etiquette:
Polish your Professional Presence 

Conversation with Shawn gilleylen  


Good business begins with proper manners, appropriate etiquette, and professional presence. Success in business is attributed to 85% people skills based on your behavior, ethics, and demeanor. Negative body language and gestures such as a weak handshake or shifty eyes convey the lack of etiquette and are deal breakers. People equate bad manners with incompetence and through subtle social signals; the business person “without manners'” will lose out and never know why.

Objectives for this session include:

  • Learn the principles of proper etiquette and demonstrate good manners.
  • Understand the impact of first impressions (appearance, body language, & nonverbal communication).
  • Interpret nuances of behavior to improve interpersonal “soft” skills.
  • Comprehend the importance of positive attitude, diplomacy, and demeanor.
  • Use appropriate language to speak and write with an effective tone of voice.
  • Define professional dress, business casual, grooming, and inappropriate dress for business.
  • Understand appropriate workplace behavior and rules of privacy and property.
  • Manage conflict, build teamwork, develop leadership skills, and resolve problems with positive solutions.
  • Cultivate business relationships, build rapport, and give and receive constructive criticism.
  • Entertain and dine with delight and charisma to strengthen business relationships.
  • Increase approachability and build customer and client loyalty with ethics.
