Who should sit where? Where do I put my purse or briefcase? And what about all of these forks and spoons? For today’s multi-tasking workforce, mealtime is often meeting or interview time. If you know your way around a place setting, understand the nuances of good table manners, and can successfully practice the protocol of dynamic dining, you will wow your client, prospective employer, or future significant other, while others may still be fumbling over which fork to use. During this dining tutorial, you will be instructed through everything you will need to know – from how to place your order, including wine, table posture, precedence, deportment and conversation, toasting, business conversation and what to do with your napkin.
