Who says Etiquette class is boring?

I personally think that students nowadays can be rather blessed, the current education system is a lot more flexible and dynamic as compared to when I was a student, allowing students to be exposed to a lot more than just what they need to know to pass exams.

Business Etiquette and Networking is a very good example. We were invited by ITE College West (Clementi Campus) to train their students on business etiquette as well as business networking.

Students get to roleplay as professionals in various fields and then attempt to 'network' with one another. With hilarous results I may add.

Derick and I did the namecard and formality exchange.

'Hi, meet my boss, .....' the class learn about the do's and don't of formal business introductions.

'Nice namecard!' Live demo of what to do and say when meeting new people in a business setting.

The trick to knowing what is the correct volume to use during presentation is that when you cover your ears and speak, you should sound louder in your head than what you would normally be used to. This would mean that you're really projecting.

I've mention before that I really enjoy working with ITE students and I enjoyed having the opportunity to train and interact with the 120 Banking students. Thanks guys. You were great! Look forward to training you soon :) 

I wish everyone a Happy New Year!
