"Its all about having etiquette at anywhere, anytime with anyone."
In this workshop, I was taught what to do and what not to do during a business meal with my clients or anyone that matters. The video uploaded was done during the workshop and through the skit, I realised that there is certainly lots to pick up during a business lunch.
It is not only about being considerate and having the correct behaviours to impress your client or your boss. It is about having the correct behaviours in a social setting.
This workshop is especially important to me as it let me realise the possible mistake that I have made while having meal, exchanging of namecards or gifts, or even by walking along the streets. In the past, while receiving gifts I would not remove the gift wrap carefully, display the gift and end off with a respond like ‘thank you’ or ‘I like it’. Through this workshop and lecture, I realise it is of high importance as it shows your appreciation of the gift. While having meal, I would raise my hands to call for the waiter or snap my fingers like how it was shown in the television (that shows how television programmes having impacts on children of young age…).
After the workshops and lectures, my groupmates and I decided to dine at RITS in TAS and realised the difficulty of having to pinch the bread in bite size and also to eat with ‘etiquette’. It certainly comes with practice and the willingness to try to display the best side of you.
Somehow I believe that the workshop could be further enriched if classes could be held in a restaurant and everyone could have a better understanding of the lesson and it will provide a better prospect of having a business lunch with the dos and don’ts.
