Did you know that first impressions are formed within just 30 seconds of meeting someone? What we say, do, and look like during those precious first seconds is key to how we are perceived – so brushing up on our social etiquette can make a big difference, whether it’s on a personal or business level.
Etiquette varies wherever we are in the world – so how do we learn about what is acceptable here in Dubai? That’s where the company Bonnétiquette comes in. With consultants trained and certified by the prestigious Protocol School of Washington (the only accredited business etiquette and protocol training school in the United States) Bonnétiquette offers a range of etiquette and protocol training sessions, as well as events for individuals and organisations.
We love the sound of their next event; the Bonnétiquette Tea & Etiquette Cruise on the 7th April, taking place on board the elegant Bateaux Dubai. As you cruise down the Creek, you will learn all about the world of tea and etiquette – with subjects covered including Tea Past & Present, Tea Types, Water Temperatures, Etiquette for Afternoon Tea, Host and Guest Duties, and Tea Faux Pas.
If dinner etiquette is more of your concern, we recommend booking onto the company’s Dine like a Diplomat seminar on 21st April. This interactive half-day seminar will give you the confidence to deal with different styles of eating (American, Continental and Asian), act like a proper host or guest , use the right silverware, give unforgettable toasts, tip the right amount and polish your skills on business entertaining. The seminar is followed by a four-course tutorial luncheon where you can practice all these skills and you will also receive an illustrated seminar workbook and a certificate upon completion. Get Early Bird 25% discount  for Dina Like a Diplomat seminar if you register by April 7th, 2012! For further details or to book online, visit http://bonnetiquette.com
