TRAINING COURSE OVERVIEW
What kind of impression do you create on first meeting? Psychologists indicate that it takes just 7 seconds for someone to decide whether they like and respect you. Correct business etiquette creates a professional, respectful atmosphere and enables smooth communication. Respect translates into better relationships. Today protocol and etiquette are particularly important as business is increasingly international because it covers the ceremonial rules followed during official functions and how to behave on these stressful occasions. It is a framework for courtesy that ensures you and your organisation will be respected in society.
