Why is it important to learn appropriate business dinner etiquette?

Confidence leads to success. Learning these skills now can lead to successful business meetings or interviews in the future.

In the words of Nonnie Cameron Owens,

"When it comes to dining, knowing the rules of etiquette and practicing them so they become instinctive gives a person confidence. Being civil before, during and after a meal demonstrates manners, helps to define your character and builds your reputation.

Fine dining is both an art and a language. By learning the language of formal dining, you will be prepared for any situation. You will appear confident and you will actually enjoy the experience. Understanding civility in dining will also help you to be appropriate during a casual meal or a formal dinner. "
