Professionalism today goes beyond firm handshakes, eye contact, and thank-you notes.  Join Ms. Nancy Mitchell, a protocol expert, for a 2-hour business etiquette seminar followed by a 1-1/2 hour dining etiquette workshop to polish your etiquette and protocol skills in order to build strong and effective business relationships and represent yourself and your organization with poise and confidence. This workshop will also provide an in-depth look at the etiquette and protocol of specific areas of the world. By examining and understanding the customs and courtesies of various regions of the world, you will prevent embarrassments, distractions and insults that may affect your relationship with foreign visitors or clients.

The speaker, Nancy Mitchell, is an established protocol and etiquette consultant and advisor with more than 25 years of experience in the field. Currently, she is an adjunct faculty member at The George Washington University, Washington, D.C., where she developed and teaches protocol courses in the School of Business and Public Management’s Event Management Certificate Program. Ms. Mitchell also serves as the protocol and special events consultant to the Library of Congress.
