Learn what it takes to be charismatic and unforgettable in your industry, community and social circles by attending the chamber's First Friday Breakfast next month.
The featured 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.”
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. Each time she teaches you a technique, you will be on your feet learning how to do it yourself.
During the First Friday Breakfast, Davis will:
• Instruct men how to shake hands with women so that they like and trust them automatically and teach women how to shake hands with men to make them comfortable.
• Discuss the corporate hierarchy of who initiates the handshake and who receives it.
• 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. Like the handshake, the business card also is based on hierarchy and follows certain guidelines during networking situations and business settings.
• Demonstrate the art of making small talk that reveals your character, so people will like and trust you, without revealing private information about yourself.
First Friday Breakfast is the chamber's premiere networking and business promotional event, and one of the most regularly attended monthly programs. The breakfast will be from 7 to 9 a.m. Nov. 7 at the Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach, 6450 Carlsbad Blvd., Carlsbad, 92009.
Tickets for the event are $30 for chamber members and $40 for prospective members registered by Oct. 31. After Oct. 31, and at the door, tickets are $50. At the door, seating is not guaranteed and is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Tabletop exhibits or Soapbox presentations are available to promote your business for $70 each, which includes one breakfast, and must be reserved in advance by calling Bev Jorgensen, the chamber's director of corporate relations and member services, at (760) 931-8400.
