Garber on Business: Business dinner? Don't whine about wine
No longer does the haughty sommelier at Le Cavalier Réstaurant Français glare down his well-trained nose and impatiently finger his goûte-vin as he debates how to intimidate you into buying a more expensive wine -- that is, ahem, to persuade Monsieur to make a better choice. No longer must you fumble through a 28-page wine list, searching for a name you recognize -- any name you recognize, in order to breathe a sigh of relief.

How to Work a Room
Business mixers, open houses, or cocktail hours before a dinner provide prime opportunities to meet new people. In such settings, you must couple your friendliness with a strategic sensibility.
Know Everything About Your Business
Know Everything About Your Business - Whatever business you are in, know everything about it. In the event planning business people think that because they can do a dinner party at home for 10 people they can do a large event for 1,000. Start at the bottom and learn all the rungs of the business.
Dinner at Ron's
I recently had the pleasure of participating in a dinner at Ron and Miri Gutman's home in San Francisco. Ron is the Founder & CEO of Wellsphere, and he and Miri were the perfect hosts. I had a BLAST cutting wood before the dinner. I went for a great run and came back to find a stack of wood, which Ron caught me chopping. It felt like when I was a kid and dad and I used to do it back home.

Lesson #4: Discipline Yourself So Your Customers Do Not Have To
“Discipline yourself, become hard on yourself,” says Ramsay. “I’ve never had dinner in my own restaurant. I’ve never sat and had a glass of champagne with customers. Don’t indulge yourself in your business – treat it as a business.”

Structure Builds Confidence
You have probably had some sort of structure to your day ever since first grade. Even having breakfast in the morning, lunch at noon and dinner in the evening gives form to your day. Why is this useful? How will having a structure help the business owner and/or the career changer?
Always on (everybody markets)
I walked past a private dinner being given at a restaurant in New York last night. Perhaps forty people, listening to an after-dinner speaker.

Marketing Benefits vs. Features: Will it make me late for dinner?
Stop telling your customers about horsepower (feature) when they are concerned about missing dinner (benefit). One of the biggest marketing mistakes is to talk about features like horsepower when your customers only care about benefits like getting home for dinner. What are you marketing - Benefits or Features? Wake up and talk about what's important to your customer. Your engineers care about features like horsepower. Don't worry about hurting the feelings of your engineers. They are not your customers
Excel in Customer Service. Do you Want to Keep or MAKE History?
Recently I had the opportunity to stay a few days in Philadelphia. While there, a group of us decided to have dinner at a unique, historical, tavern. The atmosphere was haunted by the steps of George Washington as his group sauntered outside after dinner while the band set up to play at the ball celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Everything surrounding us had been replicated in great detail. Time was even taken to create period costumes for our "servers" of the meal. They were intent on keeping history. We were so excited and awed to be able to mingle and chat in such an inspiring room---and then came the "yesbuts".

You Have the Right to...Ask for Help!
You Have the Right to...Ask for Help! In my seminars I often tease that some women believe they were born with a tattoo that says, "I can do it all"...or "I must do it all." I then ask for someone to show me that tattoo. Although we all laugh, it's not a laughing matter. The sad fact is that 67 percent of working mothers in America come home and make dinner all by themselves. Worse yet, 72 percent of them clean up after dinner, again all by themselves. Let's look at the younger generation. My children have known since they were small that there's no such thing as the "Kitchen Fairy." Food doesn't magically

Monthly Dinner With My Brother
Last night I had dinner with my brother Daniel, one of the partners at Slice of Lime, a Boulder-based web design and development firm. He and I were at TechStars at the end of the day where I gave a talk on “How To Be A CEO.” Afterwards, we had a nice dinner together at The Cheesecake Factory (his choice – I don’t think I’d been there in a decade – and it was surprisingly good), a great talk, and dynamite brother hang out time.
