Most people are comfortable with a few etiquette skills but fret over introductions or break into a cold sweat when approaching a formal dinner table. Wouldn’t it be nice to walk into a room feeling confident that your manners are in check? And, if you are a manager, wouldn’t it be comforting to know that your staff is representing your organization with grace?
Charm Farm is an etiquette “boot camp” of sorts, necessary training for anyone interacting with a customer, client, vendor, board member, basically ANYONE in business. It is especially effective for young executives who may not have been exposed to particular social settings.
Includes: Professional introductions and handshaking, making others feel comfortable and welcome, grammar and word usage, business entertaining, business appearance and dress, speaking with inter- nationals, making a fabulous impression at events and receptions, high tech etiquette, as well as dining skills and table manners.

Why not take a time out and join Stephanie Horton for a fun evening of dining with your family, and brush up on table manners at the same time? Give your children the gift of common courtesy and manners, and watch how their self confidence grows – at restaurants, at school, and at sporting events and church – everywhere they present themselves to others. And, you can rest easy when the time comes to send them out on their own. Set the stage for future “Sunday Dinners” at your house by joining us at the Inn at Gig Harbor (see schedule).
