Achieving success in a professional environment requires many types of interpersonal skills. This 4 hour session will attempt to offer a "blitz" version of some of the lessons yours truly has learned over 27 years in sales and investment banking – some of which were acquired during expensive multi-day training sessions with outside consultants. Topics will include:

-Tricks and tips for speaking successfully in large forums and small groups.
-How to assemble and give an interesting presentation, and how to not embarrass yourself or your colleagues when participating in a group presentation.
-How to ask open-ended questions – an immensely valuable and powerful life skill!
-Work group and hierarchy etiquette, including group leadership and feedback models.
-"Corporate" dining etiquette and tips (yup!).
-Email etiquette, and more…

We will seek to videotape willing, and possibly unwilling, participants so that we can practice a number of these skills. Always fun.
