Site SoCal is excited to present our first 2010 Young Leaders Educational Session on Thursday, April 1, 2010 at the new chic AVIA Long Beach.

Register for this event here.

See who's coming here.

Making a positive impression is a key part of doing business and many times the business is done over a meal. You know you need to put your best foot forward as “closing the deal” may depend on how you are perceived by the client, or your prospective employer, or your future in-laws!

Do you know the guidelines of hosting verses being hosted? Have you ever felt that awkward moment when you’re not sure which utensil to use with which course? Do you feel comfortable with your knowledge on how to handle certain foods? If any of these questions make your heart beat just a bit faster with anxiety or you’d just love a refresher course on proper dining etiquette, please join us on April 1^st. Attendees will learn how to conduct themselves in a professional and poised manner that is sure to win the business and to make a positive impression.

We are thrilled to have Constance Hoffman, President of Social & Business Graces, an authority on social and communications skills & dining etiquette, as our presenter.
