Ok... the World is Your Oyster! Now How 'bout Chewing it With Your Mouth Shut? (Paperback)

Lots of simple ways to bring your "A" game to the dinner table, and to other places where it just might make a difference No matter what the situation, your conduct can significantly shape the impression others have of you, whether you're at lunch with a prospective employer, out on a first dinner date, a guest in someone's home, or in some other setting where you need to be at your best. Doing things right, or close to right, in a high stakes environment may not get you a job or a second date, but it could keep you from inadvertently disqualifying yourself from the competition, or from creating unintentional embarrassment for yourself.
