Was Your Latest Date a Train Wreck?!

Posted by Diane Gordon - July 12, 2013 - Etiquette is Essential, Etiquette Tips, Positive Image

Train Wreck Date

Many people are entering the dating scene. Some are in their late teens, 20’s to 70’s. Whatever your age there are still several basic guidelines to ensure an enjoyable experience whether or not it’s with “Mr. or Ms. Right”.

  • Be on time. When you say 6pm be at the door at 6pm not texting from the parking lot, unless that was the arrangement.
  • Be considerate. Before your first meeting you should have found out a few likes and dislikes from your date. Try to accommodate these likes and dislikes. If your date prefers casual then casual it is!
  • Be a good listener. Far too often people are nervous and talk, talk, talk. It’s not all about you. A relationship is all about give and take, best to start now.
  • Don’t complain. If things are not what you expected, always remember a million things will and can go wrong. No one likes a complainer.
  • Turn your cell phone off! If for some reason you need to have it with you turn it to vibrate. Please, if you need to take a call, or are expecting a call, please let your date know in advance. Remember there are only two people on this date.
  • Whether things go well or not say your goodbyes in a polite manner. No one needs to be the wiser.
  • To avoid dating train wrecks use these tips! Remember “Good Manners Matter”.

Diane, it was a pleasure meeting you at the Train to be a Corporate Etiquette and International Protocol Consultant course. Upon our introduction, I found you to be polished and professional.  I am confident that, after graduating from The Protocol School of Washington® and with your enthusiasm and knowledge, you will educate and empower your clients with their business and personal etiquette intelligence.

Diane, in just the last few months you have inspired me in so many ways. As a small business owner I have benefited greatly by learning the fundamentals of etiquette in business and social events.  Each day I learn something new which empowers me to stand out from my competition.

Diane, London & Middlesex Housing Corporation wants to thank you personally for your presentation on Etiquette Essentials in the Workplace you presented to our employees June 2012.  We had great feedback from our employees, both about the subject matter and you as a presenter. You made the topic fun and interesting, and you also taught us all about etiquette mistakes we may have been making without even knowing it. Thanks you again for a wonderful presentation. We hope to have you back.

I thoroughly enjoyed your Etiquette Trilogy Workshops.  You provided a safe environment for us to learn without judgment and be inspired by your poise and presence.  It was the perfect combination of “edu-tainment”.

“I just wanted to send you a little message to say how much I enjoyed the course at the real estate board this morning.  I found it information, helpful and fun.  In my opinion, I think every Realtor should have to take this course, it should be mandatory! I also wanted to say that I’ve admired you professionally for some time.  I’m sure you don’t remember but when I first started in the business, we had a telephone conversation and I realized you were one of the good ones.  I don’t mean to …

“I just wanted to drop you a short note to say thank you for such a great training session.  It was very informative, but also game me an opportunity to pay more attention to some of the things I do and how to make some positive changes.  I walked away from that session feeling like I learned something.  I can honestly say that is the first time I have ever attended a training session on etiquette and manners.  They always seem to be on client care and safety.  What a refreshing idea.  It …

The trilogy was intriguing, informative and very well presented by Diane. The tailored course was specific and relevant to both my personal and professional needs. The workshop has made me more confident and has empowered me with the professional skills to succeed with my “social intelligence”. The trilogy covered all my objectives and expectations plus some. I would highly recommend to others.  
Tracy Moran, Human Resources, Cargill
Thank you so much for speaking at our staff meeting about respect in the workplace and business etiquette. We all need a reminder about the three R’s: Respect, Restraint, and Responsibility.
