Tech Etiquette

Techno Etiquette | Professional Courtesy LLCTechnology etiquette in the workplace and virtual workplace is more important than ever. How emails leave your office and what employees are posting on social media can become an asset or a liability for any company or individual. Understanding and establishing well defined guidelines will help prevent a technology faux pas that can leave everyone red-faced.

Karen is available for virtual training as well as one-on-one sessions. She invites you to connect and share your thoughts and perspectives.

The areas that are covered in the techno-etiquette presentation are listed below:

  • Virtual Meeting Etiquette
  • Email
  • Cell Phone
  • Voice Mail
  • Telephone Etiquette
  • Texting
  • Instant Messaging
  • Internet
  • Effective Personal Communication
  • Social Networking…Facebook, Twitter, etc.
  • Fax Machines

During the Leadership for the Ages presentation, Karen matter-of-factly describes behaviors that have emerged as a result of all the new technology and points out what behaviors are relationship honoring, what are merely acceptable and what are downright rude. Come prepared to have your eyes opened and leave more confident in your abilities to communicate and build relationships

My Advisory Board members indicated that new employees needed to have soft skills. Technology skills are assumed with the graduates of our certificate program. Soft skills are highly desired by employers. We brought in Professional Courtesy in order to address this issues, and were greatly please with Karen’s presentation. I would highly recommend Professional Courtesy for students in public facing academic programs.”

Karen Hickman is an excellent resource for business-related etiquette. I have had the pleasure of listening to Ms. Hickman on several different occasions and end up with several new tips, tricks and hints every time. Her knowledge on the subject matter and ability to connect with the audience make her a can’t-miss presenter.
