Terri Thompson - Keynote Speaker, Workshop Presenter, Coach
After starting Etiquette In Action, Terri’s enthusiasm for life, her natural presentation skills, and her zest for bringing out the best in people soon found her being called upon to speak to other groups outside the etiquette venue. While Terri remains a foremost expert and coach in the business and social etiquette field, she now offers a menu of other topics for your group. She calls her menu ”Swizzle Stick Speaking…Time to Mix it Up!” Although Terri customizes every program she does, below are Terri’s three most popular topics:
“Re-Boot, Re-Vamp and Re-Invent Yourself!”
Why do we stay stuck in bad habits, bad jobs, bad relationships, bad… whatever? And how do we break out of these? Learn how to step out of your comfort zone and take the risk involved in making a life change, whether it’s financially, emotionally, or physically. Terri has re-invented herself several times, having survived a few life crashes along the way! As she connects with the audience using her own personal experiences, you will come away from this presentation with the courage to get your life baggage re-packed, make the changes needed, and learn to live your best life now. Don’t miss this session, as Terri shares her priceless insight into re-creating yourself!
“Party Politely…And Build Your Business”
Whether it is for business or pleasure, we are all faced with events that require social skills! Networking events, conventions, meetings, weddings, and private parties all have one thing in common – we must socialize with others. According to statistics, our second biggest social fear is entering a room full of strangers and having to make conversation with them. Yikes! Making small talk is a big deal and mingling with finesse is an art! Learn from Terri the art of gracefully working a room while having fun doing it. This session will teach you the no-fail tricks of mastering the task effortlessly. If you’ve always envied those people who could enter a room not knowing anyone, and leave with a room full of friends, this presentation will have you partying with panache in no time!
“The Business Lunch 101”
A tremendous amount of business is conducted over lunch or dinner…yet many of us lack the savvy needed to negotiate a meal and a deal at the same time! We do business with people we like, and sharing a meal is the ideal way to make the most of your customer relations. Remembering those pesky rules of etiquette we once knew and have long since forgotten is never more important than during a business meal. In addition to etiquette, Terri will help you learn how to build long-lasting and profitable business relationships from taking your client to lunch. You will come away from this session knowing how to turn any meal into a business building experience that will pay you great rewards in the process!
