Dining Etiquette
Table MannersWhenever people sitting at your table or near you glance in your direction they can't help but notice your table manners or lack of manners.  In the hectic pace of everyday life, good manners and dining etiquette often go by the wayside. 
 
Most people think that they have good table manners.  However, we have found in our seminars that most people don't even possess the basics, let alone the fine points.  Many people don't hold their knife and fork correctly, talk when chewing food, take the wrong wine glass or bun, and use the wrong utensils for different courses. 
 
Table manners need not be stuffy etiquette rules from the past.  Learn dining etiquette that will take you anywhere... from a formal dinner to a cocktail party, to a business lunch or to a dinner with friends.  You will learn the most sophisticated style of formal dining and be able to apply it to contemporary dining.  All the fine points of dining etiquette will be covered and you will leave with a 20 page dining etiquette booklet for future reference.
