Ma’am,To aewnsr the first question – Since the course was quite free flowing, in my opinion it is better not to have a specific name like Art of Schmoozing or Networking. ‘The good life’ or ‘Beyond business’ are appropriate names for the course.One humble suggestion – The course could be a little more detailed. For example, the section on watches was merely a lot of brand names. I was wondering if it could be just a bit more than that. However, the lectures on wine and table setting etiquetters were quite informative. Also, your idea about having presentations on different potential conversation topics is brilliant. One more observation regarding the session about holding a conversation with you and talking 3 things about ourselves – just half the students got a chance to introduce themselves and have some sort of feedback from you.
