Navigating common dining challenges with grace exhibits true executive presence. If someone offers a toast, pause and acknowledge it with a smile or gentle nod; if you are required to give one, keep it short and positive. If you have dietary restrictions, discreetly notify the host in advance and avoid drawing attention to your special requirements during the meal. When faced with unfamiliar utensils or courses, observe others, or follow the rule of working from the outside in. If a mistake occurs, handle it with composure and humor, quickly moving on. Displaying adaptability and poise in these situations enhances your reputation for cultural and social intelligence.
