Whether you choose Manners To Go or not, here are three key questions you should be asking yourself about the company and the certification offered.
What Are the Fees?
At Manners To Go, once you pay the initial fee, you do not owe any money until the end of the three-year license agreement. At the end of three years, you have the option to renew.
You do not owe annual fees.You do not owe monthly dues.You do not pay any type of royalties.The money that you earn is yours.
Is the Curriculum Content Rich? Will I Be Proud to Teach from this Material? Does It Align with My Image and Brand?
We know this to be true because time and time again we have new etiquette consultants contact us due to the fact they made another choice and the curriculum/program did not meet their expectations.
You get what you pay for.This is an old saying but it stays true over time.I bet your mother and grandmother told this to you over and over.
We get calls all the time because:
Other programs are not content rich
The illustrations are old-fashioned and the new etiquette consultant is too embarrassed to use it
The training does not provide business and marketing plans
Is On-Going Support Offered?
Yes, we offer ongoing support. In fact, we encourage it.
We offer an extensive etiquette certification program.Whether you choose our “live” video training option or our 2-Day Immersion, you are trained in all aspects of starting your business and teaching manners to children.

My name is Lisa Richey, and I am the founder of Manners To Go™. This brand has given me the honor of teaching manners to thousands of people around the world. The journey has taken me from Portland, Oregon to the Middle East. I believe that manners are not about judgment or rules. Manners are about self-interest. It really is about how using good manners makes you feel on the inside
Lisa is a great mentor and her Manners to Go program is truly turn key. She taught me everything that I needed to learn to ensure that I will be successful in my endeavor . The program has been very helpful every step of the way. I feel truly blessed that I am part of her team. ~ Rita Linda Dayrit Philippines Etiquette Consultant, 2018, Manners and Mindfulness

Lisa Richey’s Manners To Go certification program provides a highly efficient and effective training program for anyone considering starting a manners and etiquette business.

I was looking for charm school type material for my after school program for girls, and came upon the Manners To Go website. It was like finding a treasure trove of “what-to-do(s)” and “how-to-do(s)” on manners for children. It was more that I could have imagined finding. It is, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I have ever made.
In receiving my MTG training, Lisa provided every tool and resource needed to become a successful MTG Consultant. What excited me the most is that the training includes access to her many years of experience as a successful businesswoman.
I recommend the MTG program to parents, grandparents, teachers, after school programs, or anyone who may be concerned about what our children need know about manners and etiquette. Lisa’s Manners To Go is a great product, and it is a joy working with her! ~ Lindafaye N. Etiquette Consultant, 2015

Thank you for making it easy and fun! It was truly an honor to be trained by someone of your caliber and experience, who was willing to share “everything you know, do, and use” with me.

Best Etiquette Certification | A gentleman called last week and we discussed how he could incorporate a manners program into his current business for children. He spoke about how necessary and needed teaching manners and social skills is in our world today. Parents are so appreciative when this is taught in schools, aftercare programs, preschools, and Girl and Boy Scout troops.
A teacher nearing retirement called and we had a lovely conversation about her desire to start her business. We have many teachers that are currently teaching and also those that are in retirement and looking for their next adventure.
You may have heard schools (nationally) are focusing more on 21st Century Skills. These are skills needed to guide and nurture students into our global economy. Educators certainly realize the need for technical skills. Character education and social interaction skills are becoming more of the focus.

Testimonial from a Current Manners To Go, Licensee
“Thanks to Manners To Go, the last three years have provided experiences that I would have never encountered.
MTG has been the vehicle that put my passion for equipping youth with valuable life skills into motion.
I have learned from a variety of enriching instructional opportunities over the last few years including private instruction, country clubs, an inner-city behavioral program, after-school programs, scout troops, and much more!
There is something so rewarding about seeing a student, the outgoing and talkative or quiet and reserved alike, gain confidence as they learn and apply the tools to navigate an otherwise intimidating social situation with ease”.

Charm School is a very popular request from mothers. It allows you to teach manners to children in a way that is fun and allows for creativity. You have heard about mixing pureed vegetables into brownies and cookies – to hide them so your children will eat their greens. Well, Charm School can take on that role when teaching children manners.
One day, a mother called to discuss the options for a birthday party for her daughter. The mother mentioned she wanted something fun and different – an option with a bit of a “takeaway“, an educational experience in addition to the usual fun and games. She wanted to step away from the pack and offer something other than a sports activity or bouncing at the latest trampoline park.
Together, we customized a birthday party that centered around manners and social skills. Of course, the other parents were delighted to send their children to this type of party.
During your etiquette training and certification, we spend a great deal of time preparing you for this type of phone call from a parent. We spend time teaching you the mechanics of all different types of clients. We believe in customization. It is the main reason why businesses succeed today. You must meet the needs of your client.
We teach you how to grow and expand your menu of services. Manners To Go is not a one-size fits all type of program. Your success is guaranteed if you follow our plan.
Topics to Teach Charm School
Eye contact
Handshakes
Introductions
How to sit like a lady
Posture
Respect
Table manners
Thank you notes

Today, I am sharing the unboxing of the most unique teacups in my collection.
At the end of September I started a journey to Italy.
My goal was to see the beauty of course, but like most of us…I, too , wanted to eat all the pasta, gelato and pizza available!
The Most Beautiful Teacups in Italy
And wouldn’t you know it, my “passion” had a different intention – it took me down the road of discovering the most beautiful teacups I have ever seen. I admit it, I drank more tea than cappuccino in Italy.
Italy is the epitome of beauty…the food, the people, the countryside AND the porcelain.
The teacups and china of Italy met every expectation and more.
I had tea at The Gucci Garden Cafe, our hotels and inns and places along the way.
But none compared to the experience I had at the luxury flagship boutique of Ginori1735.
I fell head over heels in love with the china and the entire experience of Ginori.
About Ginor1735
It all started in 1735 when Marquis Ginori began producing ceramics in Doccia, in the Provence of Florence.
In the 1800’s, the famous stoia motif and began to be used in noble palaces and this would characterize the porcelain dishes for a very long time.
Ginori1735 is a brand that is recognized globally for it’s beauty, style and elegance.
Their mission is to turn beauty into beauty.
