Dining with colleagues, clients, or superiors is an opportunity to demonstrate refinement and professionalism outside the office. Proper table manners start with punctuality and greeting all attendees upon arrival. Understanding place settings, using utensils correctly, and observing basic etiquette; such as not speaking with your mouth full and waiting for everyone to be served before eating; reflects respect for others. Excusing oneself politely, handling napkins appropriately, and engaging in pleasant, inclusive table conversation are all essential protocols. Demonstrating these behaviors projects executive composure and assures others of your social sophistication during business meals.
