Transform a few of the puzzling situations you've encountered into well-managed opportunities to make a good impression. Above all, remember:
  • Etiquette should be invisible and should lead to advancement
  • Etiquette is a learnable skill
  • Your most valuable asset is you.
Q: How important is a proper introduction?

A: The ability to give and respond to introductions properly is a key element to a total professional image. It's important because failing to correctly introduce others is noticed and causes embarrassment and discomfort to those around you. It doesn't make you look good.

Q: What are introductions based on?

A: In the business arena, all introductions are based on power and precedence. Gender does not affect the order of introductions. .

Q: What is wrong with a simple "Hello" with first introductions?

A: "Hello," is never enough. You should always include the person's name you are speaking to. Saying the name with the first greeting of a new acquaintance will help you remember their name.

Q: Is it all right to break into a conversation of two people speaking by themselves?

A: It is best not to attempt an entrance of conversation when only two people are engaged. It may be a private conversation. If you are not acknowledged after only a couple of moments it is best just to move on to a group of three or more persons.

The Image Edge offers comprehensive seminars and individual coaching to help you project confidence and authority in any business or social situation.  

For more information about how you can project a positive first impression, make the most of business meetings, and avoid costly faux pas during formal dining affairs, consider scheduling or attending an upcoming Image Edge event or contacting us to schedule a personal consultation.
