Good Manners are the key to opening doors of opportunity.
 
 

We must serve our internal and external customers well in order to create and sustain long lasting relationships.

BUSINESS SOCIAL EVENT: AN OXYMORON? 
Gregg Fields, Miami Herald
 
"People dread business social events because it is not business as usual and definitely not social,'' says Rebecca Black, a California etiquette consultant. "The rules, so clear to us when we are in our cubicles, become a blur.''
 
Her advice: Never forget it's work, starting with the outfit. "If the movie character Erin Brockovich would wear it, don't wear it to a business function,'' she advises women.
 
NCGA
 
Rebecca was invited to present a couple of workshops for The Northern California Golf Association's Golf Boot Camp.  Here is an excerpt from a very well written article by, Thomas Skernivitz who, among other things, writes for Golfdom. 
 
"Assistant Superintendents Discover What It Takes to
Become Big Enchilada"
 
..."That might rub Rebecca Black the wrong way — if, of course, she had an unruly bone in her body. The etiquette specialist put on a two-part presentation that had just about every attendee wondering if he or she wasn't third-generation Java Man."
