Savoir-faire is the ability to say and do the right thing in any social situation. Savoir-vivre means familiarity with the rules and customs of a polite society. In the past, ladies of the upper class European and American society attended finishing school, also called charm school that taught them social graces and etiquette as a preparation for entry into society. Today, finishing school is becoming ever more exclusive, reserved for the selected few, as many prefer these knowledge to be kept within their own social groups.
Our finishing class encompasses a range of topics including dining etiquette, international social etiquette, deportment, and personal image management, just like a traditional finishing school. We have also added aspects of business etiquette that share many common areas with social etiquette. After all, it takes many of the same exceptional qualities to excel in both social and professional arenas. We prepare people to become more polished, cultured, graceful and confident! This will help you to gain an edge to excel in both your social and professional lives.
This one day intensive class includes all three modules: International Social Etiquette, Dining Skills, and Image and Deportment.
International social etiquette is about the ability to say and do the right thing in any social situations. It includes a range of topics such as polite introduction, handshake, social kissing, the use of first and last names, name card etiquette, how to make an impression entering and leaving a party, conversation do’s and don’t, what to do when unexpected things happen and etc. This helps people to navigate through complex social situations with ease and confidence.
Dining Etiquette is perhaps the most important lesson in etiquette education. There is a saying that nothing is as revealing about a person as table manners. This class includes every knowledge and detail about European dining etiquette, from what to do when you enter a restaurant, after sitting down, how to place your napkin, how to use the napkin, general rules that no one will tell you, place setting, how to use the utensils, the silent service code, how to have challenging food, drinking, and lastly, a demonstration on how to fold an elegant napkin.
There is a saying that you should always put your best self forward. Why? On one hand, how you look influences how you feel about yourself. On the other hand, it influences how others see and treat you which indirectly affects your experience of the world. For example, studies have shown that people take less than a second to form a first impression of someone based on how he or she looks. This course includes a comprehensive list of lessons such as personal grooming, poise and deportment, body language, facial expression, voice and elocution, and the art of elegant dressing including general rules of elegant dressing as well as what to wear for different dress code.
If a student cancels a booking less than 10 business days in advance, no refunds are allowed.
