TiE Austin is delighted to present a novel topic of discussion that could be very useful today in the business world and society in general. It’s a must-attend webinar to help you maximize your image and career opportunities by presenting the best YOU!

“It is not what you do but how you do it,” Says Philip Sykes, founder of The British School of Etiquette.

What is Etiquette?

It is an unwritten code of behaviors, designed to ease social interactions in both our personal and business lives. Learning and mastering the rules of etiquette will help you build confidence, engage with others effectively, and progress professionally. For many people the word ‘etiquette’ has rather unfairly acquired old -fashioned connotations that hark back to a time when gentlemen wore hats and ladies kept their hands covered by white gloves. Nothing could be further from the truth. Etiquette is just as relevant today as it was in Victorian times – perhaps even more so, as we live in a world where technological globalization has seen our daily interactions transcend geographical boundaries and move beyond face-to-face communication.

This webinar discussion will focus on how to network effectively, make positive connections, impress to be memorable, and feel confident. You will learn updated behaviors for the Coronavirus age – new ways of greetings, virtual meetings, Internetiquette/Netiquette. Our guest speaker will address how to foster an atmosphere of mutual respect so that professional and personal relationships can flourish, and the knowledge and practice of correct manners.

The British School of Etiquette is the leading organization in the world for etiquette, manners, life skills, and service training.

Our guest speaker, Philip Sykes, is the Founder and Principal of The British School of Etiquette. Set up in 2013, The British School of Etiquette was born out of Philip’s desire to help people become the very best versions of themselves to achieve success in both their personal and professional lives. Philip brings his outstanding interpersonal and motivational skills to every session and effortlessly puts people at ease with his charismatic approach. It is a testament to his enthusiasm and relentless drive that the school is the only one of its kind to become accredited by business professional development and leadership organizations in the U.K., such as the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and ILM – City & Guilds.

She works with entrepreneurs, corporations, and independent professionals to help them achieve breakthrough performance on all fronts.
