"CHARM SCHOOL" By Julie K. Silver, MD

2002)

the Midwest," according to USA Today, offers to-the-point

questions. She helps readers overcome moments of indecision,

By Peggy Post and Peter Post
HarperResource, 1999
In today's competitive business
environment, good sense and everyday manners can make the
difference between getting ahead and being left behind. In The
Etiquette Advantage in Business etiquette authorities Peggy
Post and Peter Post show you how to meet the challenges of the
business world with the kind of self-confidence and poise that
will propel you to the top.
By Mary Mitchell
M Evans & Co, 2003
This book goes where no book has gone
before-it links business success directly to good manners. Mary
Mitchell knows and shows that what is best for any business
situation is that all parties are treated with respect. This
isn't as easy to pull off as it sounds since we are all
connected 24/7. It's hard to know where the business day ends
(or if it even does). Likewise business gatherings have moved
from formal dining to all types of social situations from
buffets to lunch at the gym after a game of handball. This
means that we must be on our best behavior for every type of
business situation (in and out of the office) while maintaining
a professional sensibility.
