Finishing School

Making a Positive First Impression

The crucial first 17 seconds

Greetings – ettiquette followed in different countries

Introductions

Deportment - what it says about you

Grooming

Dressing appropriately for the situation

Voice – pitch and intonation, getting it right

In addition to the above we will also touch on a number of other important aspects involved in making a positive first impression, such as the need to make eye contact (and how much is appropriate); avoiding nervous reactions such as giggling, chewing nails; tricks to remember people's names and the importance of being sensitive to the ways of other cultures.

Greenside Manor runs finishing courses aimed at the discerning individual who knows they only want the best from life and who believes they deserve to stand out from the crowd.

We will provide you with the necessary life skills in order to shine in both the business and social spheres. Your newfound sense of confidence and poise will help you make a lasting impression in any situation.

The courses take the form of small interactive workshops which balance emphasis on traditional social etiquette and manners with the demands of the fast-paced modern lifestyle. At the same time we manage to have plenty of fun!

We offer half day, full day or five day programmes tailor made to suit your needs.
