Shine While You Dine

Shine While You Dine will help you shine through by effortlessly

mastering the seemingly complicated nuances of business dining

etiquette. In this book, you will discover the genuine value dining

etiquette adds to your professional persona (Hint: It is not so you can

show of your dexterity with the butter spreader). You will come to

understand how this skill - universal to all professions - is an integral part

of our culture: past, present, and future. Finally, and most importantly,

you will learn three foundations, two guiding principles, and one single

objective that make it easy to follow the numerous rules, guidelines and

behaviors outlined in this book.

This approach makes etiquette mastery as easy as one-two-three. Stay

focused on your one single objective, use the two guiding principles to

determine what behavior would be most suitable at any time and in any

situation, and you will naturally adhere to the three foundations of all

appropriate behavior. This approach also helps you to negotiate any

cultural, geographic, or formality nuances you might encounter.
