Etiquette Tip of the Week
Courtesy of Culture and Manners Institute at http://www.cultureandmanners.com 

When on a business trip, avoid alcohol on an airplane – drinking at high altitudes makes you more inebriated.  It is said that one drink on an airplane, counts for two drinks on the ground.  If they put one of those mobile staircases up to the airplane exit and you fall down it, taking out a senior citizen or a vacationing family with small children in the process, that will not be good imaging for your company. 

When traveling for business, you are representing your company and should, dress, speak and behave in a way that inspires confidence in your business and products.
