Practical Business Etiquette with May Chan

Proper etiquette is a practical asset in professional life. In an interview with Next Plus (壹週 Plus), corporate consultant May Chan (陳靜雯) of Spark Image Consultancy demonstrates clear, usable guidance on common business situations: exchanging name cards, performing a business-appropriate handshake, arranging seating, and setting cutlery.

These everyday interactions shape first impressions and reflect organisational culture. May Chan emphasizes that small gestures — the angle when offering a card, the firmness and eye contact in a handshake, mindful seating arrangements at meetings, and correct table settings during business meals — can communicate respect, confidence, and attention to detail.

Presented as step-by-step advice rather than rigid rules, the guidance is suited to professionals who wish to present themselves and their organisations with poise across formal and semi-formal encounters.
