February 11, 2010 - Studio C Event Room, Bellevue, WA
How about that handshake?! How about your feet posture? What do I do when someone hands me their card and I really don't want it? Who gets introduced first when there is a leader or executive in the bunch?
Today at my February 'Kreate Interactive Brand & Business Development' event we had the honor of hosting 'Arden Clise of Clise Etiquette' website and 'Jean Hamilton of Speaking Results' website, two very dynamic and interactive presenters who really made their audience step out of their box and really think about some of the messages they might send off when conversing with others and networking in particular. Through a variety of exercises in both 40-minute presentations, both Arden and Jean made some simple exercises very fun for our audience tonight. Between shaking your neighbors hand in a couple different fashions, to practicing some fun non-verbal concepts, to introducing your neighbor to another attendee in proper format, we had lots of excitement in the room and conversations-a-plenty!
A Big 'Thank You' to all our guests for this evening, including Tammy Redmon, who drove up from Olympia to do our close to the event. Also, our Vendors for February are as follows:
