BUSINESS DINNERS ARE IN THE DEANS BLOOD!
250 years ago Peter Manigault clearly conducted business at his dining room table. The objectives then are the same as now, but the skill of how to entertain for business has been retooled. The Charleston Academy of Domestic Pursuits has developed a Business Curriculum that is structured, instructive and wickedly entertaining.
Below are our two most popular offerings.
BUSINESS ENTERTAINING
There is no second chance to make a first impression.
There are rules to entertaining and etiquette that if not known, instantly communicate a lack of sophistication. The lessons from class will be used for all aspects of business entertaining from going out to dining in. You will also learn to use your house to network, make sales, and expand your business. Learning the information is easy, but someone has to instruct. Graduates leave with a template of easy steps on how to entertain for business in their homes, even if they do not know how to cook. Home entertaining is your own personal differentiator, versus the round of golf, business lunch or office appointment. Learn in four hours how to execute a business dinner like a total professional using your own personal style, no experience necessary. Create a competitive edge and personal connection to superiors, co-workers and clients.
TEAM BUILDING
Strengthen your corporate community.
A mini-business retreat without the travel hassle.
All work and no play makes Jack a less efficient employee. A joint cooking class gives your team a chance to relax with one another and work towards a common goal. Problem solving has never been so enjoyable. Once the teams have followed their instructions it’s time to eat. We guarantee a strengthened corporate community. Our classes are perfectly suited to be a stand-alone event, a monthly or quarterly program, or can be incorporated into a three-day seminar.
