​You already belong in the room. Now let's make sure every seat at the table works in your favour.

​Whether you're closing seven-figure deals over a client dinner, navigating a formal industry gala, or simply want to move through high-stakes social settings with complete ease - this evening is for you.

​We're bringing together an intimate group of accomplished professionals for an engaging, hands-on workshop on the art and strategy of business dining. Because here's the truth most people don't talk about: at the senior level you're operating, etiquette isn't about knowing which fork to use. It's about commanding presence, building trust, and never letting the table distract from your business.

​Led by Trina Boos, Founder of the Boost Academy of Excellence and a graduate of The Emily Post Institute, this interactive working dinner will guide guests through practical etiquette, communication, and confidence-building skills for professional and social settings.

​What You'll Learn

​The Foundations

​· How to treat a business meal as a strategic engagement - not just a social occasion with an agenda attached

​· Continental and American dining techniques, so you move through any formal setting without a second thought

​· How to read and navigate formal place settings confidently, including the moments when something unfamiliar appears.

​· The subtle signals - pace, presence, volume, posture - that shape how you're perceived before you've said a word

​The Strategy

​· Pre-meal planning: how to choose the right venue, prep the menu, and stay focused on your objectives

​· Conversation management: how to build genuine rapport and advance business, without one undermining the other

​· Wine and alcohol protocols: selection, service etiquette, and how to decline gracefully without making it a moment

​· The difference between hosting and guesting: and how to excel at both, from the first impression to the bill

​· How to handle the unexpected with composure: dietary surprises, service hiccups, awkward table moments
