Business Train the Trainer
Unlike other etiquette programs
“I cannot thank you enough for the outstanding experience. Not only did you train us to the ‘depths’ of etiquette, you made me feel special. This was the best seminar training I have ever attended.” -Pat Locke, Lifeplan Services, LLC, Washington, DC
The Emily Post business etiquette training programs are not about memorizing an encyclopedia of rules. Rather, they focus on building better business relationships by applying the underlying principles of etiquette: consideration, respect and honesty.
Whether you are an independent consultant or corporate trainer, The Emily Post Business Etiquette Train the Trainer Program will provide you with the skills, knowledge, materials, and confidence you need to teach business etiquette in professional settings.
