North County Young Professionals will learn the rules of business etiquette at the group's iLunch July 14.
The intelligent lunch will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Buca di Beppo, 1921 Calle Barcelona, Carlsbad. Buca di Beppo offers flavorful Italian dining and its dishes are served family style.
The speaker will be Phyllis Davis, who has been teaching American business etiquette to companies, government organizations and individuals for 33 years. In 2001, she founded the American Business Etiquette Trainers Association.
Davis is the bestselling author of “E2: Using the Power of Ethics and Etiquette in American Business.” She has been featured on “CNN Headline News,” “CNN Financial News,” “Bloomberg Financial Radio,” “Good Day New York” and “NBC Chicago.”
Learn what it takes to be charismatic and unforgettable in your industry, community and social circles by attending the iLunch. Davis will teach you three easily learned behaviors that will create such a deep level of rapport with whoever you meet that they will never forget you.
During the iLunch, Davis will:
• Teach you the nonverbal components of a sincere handshake that creates a strong unconscious, yet human connection.
• Educate you about how to give a business card to someone and how to receive a business card.
• Demonstrate the art of making small talk that reveals your character, so people will like and trust you, without revealing private information about yourself.
