Manners & Etiquette

Social Etiquette
A collection of interconnected rules that implies good impressions in our lifestyle as we engage in social interactions is usually referred to as etiquette. Good manners never go out of style. The rise in online business and social media sites has even seen the creation of a worldwide ‘online society’, necessitating its own rules of conduct, commonly referred to as Netiquette, or network etiquette. These rules regarding the protocol for such communications as email, forums and blogs are constantly being redefined as the internet continues to evolve. So whilst the traditionally accepted behaviours of old may not have the influence they once did, it could be argued that etiquette is as crucial in today’s far-reaching society as it has ever been.

Business Etiquette
A polite and refined demeanour is still an attribute appreciated in business situations. First impressions count in all aspects and at all stages of our life. How can you ensure that the first impression you make is a positive one?

Whether you’re headed to a business lunch, or a dinner date, or as a guest at a dinner party, there’s always a place for table manners. Table manners have evolved over centuries to make the practice of eating with others pleasant and sociable. We will help you learn about table manners and the rules of table and dining etiquette.

Wedding and Events Etiquette
Weddings are surrounded by tradition and protocol. Etiquette tends to focus on what to wear and formalities that should be observed and respected. Even if you break with tradition and choose a more contemporary wedding, it’s still a good idea to know what’s expected. Social events and networking events too will have many protocols and it’s important to be prepared so that you can enjoy the event without making social faux pas.
