Level up your relationships, presence and confidence
People skills for Global success
Etiquette is an integral part of our daily lives and mastering the rules will empower you to become the best version of yourself in whatever situation life puts you in.
Etiquette is not about rules. Etiquette is not just about being polite and using the right fork. Etiquette is not snobbish. Etiquette is all about building strong relationships; communicating with confidence and understanding what the other expects in order to succeed in life. Have you ever felt lost in a social encounter? You wish people would understand you better? Have you ever had a hard time figuring out what people’s expectations are and you feel like you can never stand out from the crowd?
Founder of “The School of Manners”, world traveler, an internationally accredited etiquette consultant, a cultural awareness specialist and an unshakable optimist dedicated to helping you put the best foot forward in any situation life puts you in.
I am an international etiquette and communication specialist with over 16 years of international experience working alongside many royal family members and heads of state. Like you, I have often pondered what truly defines manners. Is it just a collection of outdated rules for high society, or does it hold relevance in our everyday lives? Are manners merely superficial gestures, or do they carry a deeper significance in how we connect with others? Have they become a lost art in our fast-paced world, or are they essential skills that empower and enrich our interactions?
With my extensive experience, including an MBA in International Hospitality from Glion, Switzerland and training from prestigious institutions like Institut Villa Pierrefeu, The English Manner, The Protocol School of Washington, London Image Institute… I've dedicated my career to demystifying these questions. My journey across 90 countries has not only taught me the varied nuances of global etiquette but also the universal values of kindness, respect, and understanding.
Etiquette, in my eyes, is not about rigidity or exclusivity; it’s about fostering authentic connections, embracing cultural diversity, and empowering individuals to navigate social and professional settings with confidence. It’s about transforming the shy, anxious person into someone who can face the world with assurance and grace. Whether guiding women, parents, or anyone on their personal growth path, I aim to make etiquette and manners accessible, practical, and deeply human. Join me in rediscovering the empowering essence of manners, tailored for our modern, interconnected world.
