Business Etiquette
Etiquette is not about right or wrong, good or bad, pinkies up, purple-haired-finger-pointing-tsk-tsk old ladies, or judging others. Having good business etiquette means that you are savvy at making others feel their best in your presence. It’s about the relationship, not rules. It means knowing how to handle a wide variety of situations with a principal-centered approach of courtesy, respect, and honesty; factors that will be your true north in both personal and professional situations that you encounter. In the session, Kelly will highlight and we all will explore how to up your etiquette-game, so you can shine and feel comfortable in nearly every situation that you encounter.

And yes, the bike is as fun as they make it look on the commercials!
