Spinach in Your Client's Teeth and Other Etiquette Dilemmas

Arden Clise, Clise Etiquette




Have you ever wondered what to say to a client with spinach in her teeth, or which bread plate is yours at a crowded table? Maybe you're not sure how to introduce someone whose name you forgot. Perhaps you wonder how to gracefully exit a conversation at a virtual or in-person networking event.

In this interactive presentation, these questions and more will be addressed. You will learn practical skills you can use immediately to feel more confident and at ease in many business and social settings.

You will learn:

  • Alternatives to handshakes for a germ-filled world
  • How to mingle at receptions, conferences and online with ease
  • How to make business introductions and what to do when you've forgotten someone's name
  • How to gracefully end a conversation with someone
  • How to confidently navigate the place setting even when there are multiple utensils, plates and glasses
