ETIQUETTE CENTER
WHY ETIQUETTE MATTERS
The ability to get on with people is a vital life skill and a key determinant of success. In many professional situations, people are judged subconsciously on their manners and social graces, and these can be make or break factors in recruitment and promotion decisions.The good news is that these skills – collectively known as ‘etiquette’ – can be learned and refined. By enhancing your etiquette skills, you can enhance your presence in any situation, and your social standing.
Poise and charm are not necessarily attributes that you have to be born with; like any skill, they can be taught and learned.
At Rise & Shine House Etiquette Centre, you’ll learn how to leverage subtle nuances of speech and gesture to create powerful, positive impressions that endure. We’ll help you become the more confident, refined person you want to be – and you’ll see the results in your personal life and in your career.
THE BENEFITS OF ETIQUETTE
The way you present yourself is very much how the world will see you. This is the rationale behind the old adage, ‘dress for the job you want, not the job you have’. Being able to master the rules of etiquette in multiple situations will help you get on better with people, and potentially advance your career and increase your income.
