Savoir-faire.
Our original business etiquette and social skills program.

Did you know that ...

  • at least 40% of adults experience some form of social anxiety?
  • 75% of adults experience anxiety in one-on-one social situations?
  • a lack of social graces can be a major contributor to lost business opportunites and stalled internal advancement?

Social skills have been proven to be the single most important non-business factor in business relationships. Given how crucial they are, we might pause for a moment to ask ourselves how our rookie recruits - or even some of our more experienced executives - are faring in these areas.

The good news is that the ability to present a confident, relaxed, gracious, socially adept image can be learned.

All of us can feel awkward in social situations from time to time - and this will naturally only be intensified if an important deal hangs in the balance. But social aplomb and business etiquette can be learned like any other subject, and there are tricks and techniques that your team can use to enhance the social credibility that is so important to good business relationships.

To provide your client-facing team with that winning edge, AEW & Associates Inc. specializes in the design and delivery of practical and interactive seminars that deal exclusively with analyzing and re-focusing skills, behaviours and knowledge to produce greater confidence, poise, and effectiveness in all business related social interactions. We call it Savoir-faire.

What makes our seminars so unique and effective is their customization to your particular area of business and their ground-breaking focus on providing the confidence and charisma needed to cultivate and sustain long-lasting business relationships.

We offer proven training seminars in the key areas of
  • Developing Powerful People Skills
  • Correct Business Etiquette
  • Compelling Presentation Skills Communicating in the Business World
  • Projecting a Positive Image
  • Navigating Social Occasions with a Business Focus
  • Doing a Deal over a Meal
  • Electronic Etiquette
  • Building Relationships Up & Down the Corporate Ladder
  • Winning With Wine

These seminars are offered as full or half-day workshops - or we can deliver individual modules to augment your own internal training initiatives. Our programs can be incorporated into sales conferences and teamwork-building rallies to add a focus on social interaction amongst peers - with a strong learning component.

And it gets better. In conjunction with one of Canada's pre-eminent fine wine merchants we also offer hands-on wine tasting tutorials where the candidates get to practice their new skills in a fun and supportive environment.
