First Impressions
Within the first 30 seconds of an initial meeting, someone makes up to 11 assumptions about you; from your age, education and financial status, to your level of sincerity, trustworthiness and likelihood to succeed.

The manner in which you introduce yourself can have a direct influence on the outcome of a social or business relationship. From the start, you are evaluated based on your appearance, attitude, expression, gesture, body language and confidence level. You want your introduction to be positive and effective. It should position you from a point of strength and build the foundation for long-term relationships. ESP teaches you how to make a strong, positive first impression and how to sustain it. Why? Because in life you never have a second chance to make a first impression.

The Art of Communication
Mastering the ability to engage in meaningful, timely, well delivered dialogue is hardly easy and well worth the effort.

You do not have to be an orator to be a successful communicator. However, you do need to know how to start and sustain a conversation, produce clear & effective two-way communication and be confident and genuine in your expression and delivery.

Everyone has heard of the "poor conversationalist." He/she is usually an individual who is uncomfortable in social or business situations because he/she does not have the ability or manners to properly express themselves, share in the conversation and make it a mutually respectful and beneficial experience. To have meaningful business and social relationships, you have to have good communication skills. ESP offers tools to assist you in improving your ability to successfully communicate. Why? Because conversation is the basis for all social and business activities.

Table Etiquette
Understanding proper table etiquette and manners is an absolute necessity for social and business success.

Dining is the basic ritual of our human society. All of our sacred ceremonies are celebrated by eating. It is the main event at weddings, birthdays, religious events and holidays. It is a time for developing and renewing relationships, a time to reflect on our families, friends and business endeavors, and a time to rejoice and celebrate our humanity and culture.

In the business world, dining has become an integral part of conducting interviews, promoting business and establishing client and associate relationships. The manner in which we conduct ourselves at the table is constantly observed by our peers and reflects on our breeding and character. ESP instructs its participants on the intricacies of contemporary table etiquette and table manners. The results are designed to increase your confidence and your ability to set a positive example for others. Why? Because, contrary to popular belief, it is not what you eat that makes the biggest impression, but how you eat it.

Interview Etiquette
30% of all job interview failures stem from inadequate presentation skills and poor manners.

There are ten people applying for the same position. Like you, they are knowledgeable and competent. In such a situation, what critical factors does the recruiter use in determining who is best for the position? After meeting the minimum requirements and qualifying your experience, you are going to be directly judged on your personal presentation skills. Are you affable? Do you have social savvy? Do you have the right appearance? Are you a good communicator? Do you get along with people? Are you going to make a good impression on other employees and clients? Are you a leader?

We live in a very competitive society. Not everyone is going to get the position for which they apply. Today, business men and women recognize the need and importance of having successful social presentation skills. ESP can give you a competitive edge in accomplishing your interviewing objectives. Why? Because you have to use every asset you have and those you don't.

The Business of Courtesy
Sincere respect - consideration of colleagues, clients and competitors is an extension of character that will benefit you personally and professionally.

In business, as well as life, the manner in which you present yourself throughout any business day can have a direct impact on the company's bottom line. Whether making an office visit, confronting a coworker, or giving a presentation, your manners, etiquette, values and code of ethics will establish your reputation or ruin your potential for success. Your ability to be a diplomat, a negotiator, and a confident presenter will allow you to successfully navigate business relationships and increase your productivity. Business does not exist without people and your ability to establish effective working relationships with others can make or break your career.

ESP offers insight for avoiding faux pas, handling awkward situations, and increasing your visibility and reputation within your organization. Why? Because to succeed in business requires more than intelligence and hard work.

Sense & Civility
90% of Americans believe incivility is a serious problem that contributes to violence and has a profound effect on the social breakdown in our culture.

There are a number of reasons why people want to learn good manners and rules of etiquette. Naturally, people who treat others with kindness, consideration and respect are more likely to be popular because they are considered good companions. Good manners put people at ease, help create cooperative relationships and lead to business and social self-fulfillment. In business today, it is mandatory that you know how to conduct yourself with a high sense of propriety and good will. Every day your behavior is observed and judged by family, friends, employers, associates and clients. Knowing how to behave properly, in familiar as well as unusual situations, builds self-confidence and character. Understanding etiquette, practicing good manners and displaying common courtesy can give you an advantage in dealing with any business or social situation.

ESP instructs its clients on codes of etiquette, social manners, common courtesies and projecting a positive self-image. Why? Because our sense and civility is the basis upon which we are judged.

Dress Etiquette
In social settings, your appearance constitutes 55% of the first impression you make on others. In business, 75% of the hiring decision is based on appearance.

How you dress and groom are part of the image that positions you in the eyes of others. Dress is an expression of your personality and a reflection of your attitude, focus, interest and stature. Your level of self-confidence, social and economic status, occupation, credibility and potential for success are often based on outward appearance. To achieve your social and business objectives, you have to know what to wear, how to wear it and when to wear it.

ESP instructs clients on the do's and don'ts of personal grooming. Why? Because judgments are often not made on how good the product is, rather, how it is packaged.

Social Relationship Skills
The way in which we treat others is the basis from which we build all successful relationships. It requires acts of courtesy, respect and integrity.
