Don't Dig Your Grave with Your Own Knife and Fork: The Do's and Don'ts of Dining Etiquette

 

Clients question, “If you don’t know basic table manners, what do you know?” Are you comfortable with your dining etiquette? Or... are you digging your grave with your own knife and fork in front of your client? Your employer? Your mother-in-law? In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "What you DO speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say." Let's welcome Consider Etiquette Founder Holly K. Rauser who will teach us the art of basic dining etiquette.
