It is a must-read for anyone who aspires towards a professional ascension." - H.E. Cristina Balan, Former Ambassador of Moldova to the USA "It's true Not everyone has a 'God-given' talent for etiquette, but my friend Isabelle Vladoiu has both talent and blessing from God and shares the Business Etiquette Secrets as a friend and a professional that will turn any lack of talent into your business treasure I have seen Isabelle apply her etiquette secrets in several diplomatic settings and witnessed how she turned partisanship into friendship for causes that really matter. Read, study, memorize this book, and find that Business Etiquette Secrets will open doors for you, too, that have been previously unimagined " James E. Schaefer, Franklin Fellow, U.S. Department of State, and Chaplain, U.S. Army "I have traveled the world on business for decades.
