So my company setup etiquette training for the entire staff. Mostly perceived as “silly” or “I’ve got better things to do” by those I spoke to about it prior, but I was optimistic (a first; I know). It was really rather informative. Our instructor was perfect for the group I was in. Now I have a manual for all the inappropriate things I’ve been doing all these years in the professional game. Basic things like hand-shake method, zones of appropriate eye contact, where a name tag should be placed (right side, closer to your shoulder), and conversation tools to help with an unknown group. It was good stuff.
My favorite quote:
“…you can get Botox injections under your arms to help with heavy perspration issues…”
Want another one? Here you go:
“…if you do have sweaty hands, you can use deoderant (one with no smell) on your hands prior to an engagement to help…”
Last one:
“…Rabbi’s wives don’t shake hands…”
Again, who knew?
