The world has become a global village, and executives must adapt to diverse cultures to succeed in international business.
Maintaining good table manners influences the perception of clients and business partners, reinforcing your soft diplomacy and strengthening global networking.

During the session, we will combine discussions of real-life cases with a demonstration of a three-course meal.
