September Seminar Summary:
Are you clipping your toenails at your desk? Fish in the microwave at lunch? You're done with your morning joe, so you leave the coffee pot empty. The awkward moment when you realize no one filled the toilet paper roll?
Yeah, these are extreme. But let's face it, after working remotely for this past year, many of us have undoubtedly developed new habits that are unacceptable in the office. Get your etiquette game back on point and impress your coworkers and supervisors as you return to the office. This seminar helps identify etiquette weaknesses and show you have to improve them.
This program is also an excellent seminar for managers to send their staff to get the team on the same page regarding office expectations.
This training is not a long list of rules to memorize. Humorous real-world examples will teach us how to use good etiquette and respect for others and ourselves. Participants will learn how to make a positive and professional first impression and use appropriate communication skills to convey courtesy and respect for teammates.
Topics Covered:
- What it means to 'be professional'
- Making a positive and professional impression
- How communication is a vital part of your image
- Implement; Etiquette that makes others you remember by your work, not your faux pas.
- Explain; the rules of written and oral business communication.
- Identify; How to make a positive and professional impression.
