The Reputation of Your Company is at Risk by Not Giving Your Team Business Etiquette Training

 

And Here’s the Problem….

You don’t want to give them too many rules but they need direction and guidance.

Some topics are better left to the experts. I can deliver sensitive issues to your team. 

Basic staff training and onboarding do not address basic soft skills training.

Lack of basic soft skills is costing your company money because your team is not aligned with your mission.

The American Academy of Etiquette Has Everything You Need to Improve Your Employees’ Professional Behavior.

If each person on your team is not aligning with your company’s values and branding, you are losing money. A business etiquette workshop aligns your team and provides real-life guidance and direction.

 

Here is how it works:

I will come to your company and provide on-site training or via a virtual training classroom experience.

Maureen O’Reynolds

Senior Manager, Deloitte & Touche

Hi, my name is Lisa Richey, and I am thrilled you are here – because you must be looking for the path to see your employees achieve their highest professional skills.

I bet you know first-hand the issues that many companies are facing in the workplace. The lack of conversation skills, maybe an employee doesn’t understand they have a certain reputation and need guidance to tweak and change it, or employees are not living up to the stated dress code. You may have a strong desire for your staff to be “likeable “or want them to connect with the many generations that are your vendors, employees and clients.

HR professionals and sales organizations, contact me to speak on topics such as personal branding, how to build stronger and better relationships with clients and colleagues, ways to connect the multi-generations that make up the workforce and of course how to dine with ease and grace during a business meal.

Many of my clients comment that my delivery is engaging, informative and makes an immediate difference within an organization.
