Good manners will open doors that the best education will not

Etiquette makes life better! It is all about generally accepted habits and customs. If everyone is aware of these rules of engagement and is actually applying them, every reception, every meeting, every encounter could be successful. If the rules are clear and if you are aware of other people’s feelings, things simply cannot go wrong.

An etiquette course will help increase your personal effectiveness. If you know the social do’s and dont’s, you will act more confident. Forget ‘old-fashioned’ - the etiquette training courses by Tess Wouda Kuipers focus on modern-day etiquette rules, larded with vivid and real-life anecdotes.
