Thank you for teaching this fun class. I will use all my manners that I have learned and use them every day.  You are a great teacher and I hope to see you again at American Girl Place.  I had fun and thanks again for the wonderful time.

Thank you for leading such a wonderful class on Saturday. Both Hayden and Avery loved every minute of it! They came home with so much amazing information. Avery especially loved learning proper punch bowl etiquette. Hayden came home declaring how happy he is to be a boy since girls have so much more to do just to sit down properly. Your class was everything I hoped it would be and much more.

Amber and Jasmine took the Beverly Hills Manners class today at McCormick and Schmicks in Beverly Hills and they loved it. I got there just before it was over and Amber was clinking the glass to make a toast. She stood up, put her napkin on the back of the chair and made her toast. It was so cute. They enjoyed a 5-course meal that they really enjoyed (okay they didn't like the salmon (they are not big fish eaters), but they said the chicken noodle soup, chicken and jasmine rice were incredible and of course the chocolate dessert! They couldn't stop talking about everything they had learned today....which utensils to use and when, how to introduce people in the correct way, how to hold the utensils, making toasts, serving drinks, which glasses for which drink (yes, they had separate glasses for water, wine, and champagne), how to answer the phone and take messages, how to place their utensils to let the server know if they are done eating or just taking a break, how to be polite, how to walk nicely and sit the correct way, what to do if they don't like the food (that was my big concern), using the correct words (excuse me, please, thank you, no thank you, may I be excused). All of the kids were dressed so nice for this class and they all seemed to really enjoy it. Lisa gives each of the kids a certificate and a shirt when they have completed the class.

I just have to let you know that the boys' manners at both Passover Seders this week were amazing.  They were complimented by various family and friends. All because of you! It is adorable.

"I was delighted to attend your Train the Trainer Program to be an etiquette instructor for children! I am so excited about my new venture and I particularly wish to thank you for all your support. Learning how to market this type of business indigenous to my particular area has been critical to my success. No two areas are the same and recognizing this and knowing how to uniquely target my market has been critical! Thank you for everything!"

"After two days of intense training in your international programs, I cannot thank you enough for all the detail and country specific information you gave me. I had no idea of all the intricacies of different cultures when trying to negotiate. Through your original research and development I always will be confident to have the most up to date and current information available!"

I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic time Aaron had at Hillcrest Country Club. He couldn't stop talking about everything he had learned all the way home. He gave us every detail from what etiquette means to how men and women eat burgers.  He then continued to relay all the info to my mother-in-law.  I don't think he has ever told her about any event is such detail.   Also, we were speaking with some of the staff we know from the club, and they thought it was the best kid’s event that had been offered.

We appreciate your giving our executives training in international business protocol and etiquette.  We will be sending our sales representatives to China and they will now be better prepared in developing a business relationship based on trust – all of which we really had not considered before and were not aware of the necessity of developing this “protocol intelligence”.  We thank you for now we feel we have to tools to bring positive results and success at the negotiating table.  Thank you!

Carolyn so enjoyed your class today at the magnificent Hotel Bel-Air.  You would not believe what she did upon our arrival after such a fun-filled day!  She proceeded to place her favorite teddy bears and dolls around the dining room table and ask to use my silver flatware and Waterford crystal!  She set the table perfectly and then proceeded to “instruct” her dolls on the etiquettes of table dining!  Our thanks to both of you!

I appreciated your kindness with my son when we arrived to the Hotel Bel-Air for the Petite Protocol class this past Saturday. He really was upset and did not want to attend a “manners” class.  I must tell you we were stunned when we picked him up - he did not want to leave!  What are your secrets?  His attitude and confidence has improved tremendously! Good manners certainly are more than memorizing a set of rules!   Again, I cannot thank you enough!
