Toronto Canada Business Etiquette

Hey I'm call your person and this is my oral presentation

to I will be talking about Toronto Canada business etiquette.

I'm doing Toronto Canada because this is the place that

my group group three will be doing for our project.

So I broke it down into three main parts that I'll be talking about.

It will be the introduction slash greeting,

body language and business meetings and dining etiquette

and my last slide will be my resources.

So as you see, I have the Canadian flag at the bottom to have a little

added

now we'll get into the introduction ingredient.

Okay, I have a few points.

We sit here on things you should do when you're first meeting someone.

So this is pretty standard. Um Handshakes are the most appropriate greetings.

I mean some people may do hugs but if it's your first time,

definitely handshakes are the best things to do.

Also if a handshake is not extended ahead night will be taken

warmly.

So some places it may be rude to do head and eyes,

but in Toronto Canada head and eyes are welcomed.

I did something similar to this on my oral presentation one where

in Taiwan, handshake should not be firm but in Canada handshakes should be firm

and that's pretty normal to me.

I guess living in the States, how handshake should be firm

that people don't take light handshakes lightly. I guess it's like a sign of

maybe insecurity or nervousness go into something with a firm handshake.

It will make a difference from personal experience.

I gave someone a stern handshake.

I think I was going to interview maybe and they remember me by that handshake

be on time, punctuality is key.

If you are supposed to meet someone, especially for the first time,

please be on time.

It will make a big difference.

It will put a bad taste in someone's mouth if

you are not on time because they will always remember you

as the person that is like

contain eye contact.

Keep eye contact with people when you're talking,

eye contact should be something that scared

because it's making the conversation more personable.

That's also a better way to show someone that you're not

nervous and you're very secure in what you're talking about.

Also be approachable,

I like this part because some people are not approachable and I have met so

many people that I feel like aren't approachable and so with people like that,

you try to shy away from communicating with them.

And also that will leave a bad taste in

someone's mouth as well if you aren't approachable.

So we'll go to my next slab, which is body language,

body language is key.

We talk about this and all of my business classes

on how to have body language in the business world,

as I said in the last lie, eye contact is important in this case, I'm gonna use it,

say you're like in a medium,

keep container,

I content with whoever you are talking to this will

show that you know exactly what you are talking about.

That's something that I have always heard and that's something

I have heard in every single class throughout college.

Keep eye contact, especially when you're presenting

or having a simple conversation. Keep that eye contact.

This is something else that I've heard all my life.

Never use your index finger to point at someone.

First of all, don't point at someone at all.

It is considered rule and it's considered rude in Canada

and here my mom has always hope has always told me,

do not point at anyone that is something really rude to do.

Um The last thing you want to hit on this slide

which is really funny to me avoid wearing anything scented soap,

perfumes, lotions,

anything that has a scent on it.

Don't wear that to be aware of people that might have allergies.

I understand, but in my opinion,

I don't even know how I would handle not wearing perfume every day in Canada.

Next slide is business meetings and dining etiquette

dress conservative.

Don't wear anything revealing.

I think if I was to have a business meeting in Canada,

I will go in wearing something that I know what an offending one.

So I will wear a dress that covers up my whole top area and I will

make sure if I'm wearing a dress or skirt to make sure it's below my knees.

Also, I will wear a suit as well with a nice button down, showing nothing.

I just feel like you should do that anyway regardless on regardless of where you are.

I feel like there's very respectful to dress conservative around someone.

You don't want to be that person that they remember you by having your cleavage out.

That's not cute at all.

Once again, be punctual,

punctuality is key. Especially when you are having a meeting,

be punctual, don't come in.

Like I see a lot of times on like tv and stuff,

people show up to meetings late and they get fired.

It's really crazy to think about but you really have to be on time,

especially in the working field.

Last thing I'll talk about on here.

Um if you get invited out to have drinks go,

if you don't go it should be for a good reason.

I mean I guess that will make sense if someone invites you somewhere,

take the opportunity to go out with them because they

will probably be your last offer if someone doesn't,

if you don't take their first offer.

So just always try to you know,

go out and be social with people that you are working with.

It will make a big difference in the long run. Trust me,

just networking. I look at this like networking

so just continue to

always take those offers that someone gives you.

That is my last slide. My last slide

is the resources

and I only have two resources and they gave me

a lot of information and I am grateful for that.

And that's the end of my toronto Canada business etiquette presentation.
