Teen Etiquette Reboot
August 13
These are the skills that will give your teen the competitive edge!
The first hour is a best-of-the-best in terms of the hands-on etiquette skills. We first review some basics of manners. Next, teens will put into action respect of self and others, eye contact, proper handshakes, introductions, different styles of communication – both verbal and non-verbal, and telephone/cell phone skills along with the art of being poised. We place important emphasis on being poised in public.
The second hour is dedicated to the instruction and practice of all that goes into being poised with our dining skills. Eating properly is probably the most obvious and important of the public skills. People are always watching us and it would be a mistake to not have proper dining etiquette.
