With Generation Z entering the workforce, companies need consultants, corporate trainers and speakers to come into their organization to offer programs to support their on-boarding process.
Additionally, being certified in both children’s and business etiquette allows for a more consistent income. This is a plus for those that choose to speak and teach full-time.
A Combined or Dual Certification in Children’s and Business Etiquette Is Popular Because:
Comprehensive Skillset: Having expertise in both children’s etiquette and business etiquette provides a more comprehensive skillset. It allows you to cater to a wider range of clients and situations, from teaching children manners and social skills to coaching professionals on workplace etiquette and communication.
Market Demand: There is a growing demand for professionals who can address both children’s etiquette and business etiquette needs. In today’s competitive world, parents often seek etiquette training for their children to help them succeed socially and academically, while businesses value employees with strong interpersonal skills and professional demeanor. More than ever, there is a need for training specifically for Generation Z as they are entering the workforce.
Versatility: A combined certification offers versatility in career opportunities. Professionals with expertise in both areas can work in various settings, including schools, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and private consulting. As an etiquette expert and speaker, you can offer a range of services such as workshops, training sessions, private coaching, and consulting engagements.
Integration of Skills: Many aspects of etiquette, such as communication, social skills, and respect for others, are applicable across different age groups and environments. Professionals with a combined certification can leverage their knowledge and skills from one area to enhance their work in the other. For example, teaching children about effective communication can also benefit professionals in their workplace interactions.
Competitive Advantage: In a competitive market, having a dual certification can set individuals apart from others who specialize in only one area. It demonstrates a broader expertise and commitment to professional development, which can be appealing to clients and employers seeking well-rounded professionals.

I have created many reiterations of our websites over the years. It is quite a process and one that takes planning.
Creativity is key here. Take the time you need to really plan this out. Creativity actually doesn’t take place while you are working at your desk- it happens in the shower, at a stop light or maybe right before going to sleep at night.
I like to keep a notepad or my phone close by to keep up with my thoughts and ideas.
You never know when the creative spark will hit you.
The tools I am sharing with you are practical, easy, accessible and do not cost anything!
3 Tools to Create and Update the Manners To Go Website
Creating an etiquette expert’s website requires tools that can help in designing, developing, and managing the site effectively.
Photo file on my phone: Over the years, I have collected thousands of photos- from trips, to table settings at museums, lunches with friends, speaking engagements, licensee in-person trainings – and the list goes on. This collection of photos is what I used to recreate the Manners To Go certification site pages.
2. Canva: Canva is a web-based graphic design platform that offers a wide range of templates, graphics, and tools for creating stunning visual content. Etiquette experts can use Canva to design eye-catching banners, social media graphics, infographics, and other visual elements for their website. Canva’s user-friendly interface and extensive library of resources make it a valuable tool for enhancing the aesthetics of the website and maintaining a professional image online.
3. Mind mapping: Less is more when writing copy for your website. This actually takes more time. I find Mind mapping to be key when writing copy that is meaningful and speaks to those landing on your website. Brevity is a must when getting key messages and points across to viewers. Parents, educators and anyone else who visits your website, needs to know exactly what you do and what you have to offer.

Planning is key for any project and this is especially important when creating a website.
A website for an etiquette expert is a way to showcase what you do, who you are and why you are doing it. Another very important reason to have an etiquette website is this will be a great way to make a connection with the viewer- the parents, educators or the general public.
