Etiquette Classes that
Build Confidence 

Are you preparing for entry into the next phase of a productive social life, or helping your company meet and maintain its image of excellence?  I would love to help you accomplish your goals.

Proven time and again - can-do knowledge of etiquette guidelines and practices helps people achieve a higher level of comfort and confidence when interacting with and leading others.

While it is true that some people seem more social and charismatic than others, learning the soft skills of etiquette enhances your natural-born skills and creates a depth of knowledge that even the most introverted of personalities can put to use to make workplace interactions and social occasions enjoyable experiences.

People do business and interact with those they know, like, and trust.  Employers are looking for employees who demonstrate not just technical skills and know-how, but people skills and practiced professional etiquette skills.

Adeptly interfacing with associates, clients, customers, instructors, and fellow learners in a polite, authentic manner helps you conduct business more effectively, and also can benefit your personal life.

In a world in which “private” so quickly turns “public,” etiquette skills add great value to anyone’s soft skills toolbox.
