3 Beliefs to Embrace for Etiquette Experts
When first starting out – going after my desire to teach and start a business, I was so scattered. I really was flying by the seat of my pants!
Of course, I sought advice and read everything I could get my hands on but it wasn’t enough.
I wish I had someone to tell me what I am about to tell you.
There are 3 beliefs I wish I had focused on and embraced when starting my business teaching manners to children.
These are not tactical steps, such as a business license, choosing a curriculum or attending networking events. Although these are important.
This has to do with your mindset. And boy oh boy is it the most important step of all.
Here is the good news! It is easy and one that you can do all by yourself. Yes, it is about self-interest – and only you can make the change.
3 MOST IMPACTFUL Beliefs You Need to Embrace to Become a Successful Etiquette Expert
Belief # 1: VALUE | For those of you that have been following me for some time, you know that I am a big believer in what we bring to the world.
We bring a great deal of value. And each one of us has our individual style. If you have a desire to teach manners to children, then you have a calling. You have a gift. And it is VALUABLE and NEEDED.

3 Common Etiquette Faux Pas and How You Can Help Others
Flashback…too many years ago to reveal!
I was in the height of my career with Levi Strauss & Co. A major client was in San Francisco from Dallas to review next season’s release of jeans in every color and finish imaginable.
Of course, after the presentations, as a team we would attend a lavish dinner at the latest chic and hip restaurant.
We were starving, as the day was long looking at every style of denim possible.
The table was preset. The bread basket rolled around the table. We all were drooling and wouldn’t you know it…. someone used the wrong bread plate! This was an embarrassing moment.
To this day I am not sure who it was…but I will tell you this…I wondered if it was me. I had just received a promotion. I was duly aware that I was being “watched”. All my “i’s” were dotted and “t’s” crossed. I was watching my every move.
It stayed on my mind throughout the week.
Let’s help others avoid these embarrassing moments.
3 Most Common Etiquette Faux Pas
If you are like me, you are passionate about helping others.
When you are interested in teaching manners, you must keep in mind the value that you add to the lives of both children and adults.
You have the exact skill that all of us need.
When you use good manners life get easier. It puts others at ease.
You become self-aware and certainly more confident.
Where is my bread plate?
Have you ever been to a networking event during lunch? It never fails. Someone whispers, “where is my bread plate”.
I am going to tell you and you will never forget. The bread plate is on the left. How can you remember? Think of a BMW. Bread Meal Water
I promise you will never forget.
How to Hold a Fork
This one takes the cake! If you are eating American Style, the fork is held in your most dominant hand, like a pencil. Not a shovel
If you are eating European Style, the fork is held tines down in your mouth.
Introductions
You must stand for an introduction. This is a sign of self-respect and respect for the other person.
Fast forward a few years…because this situation never left my mind, I have taught thousands of children and adults in corporate America social skills.
We are here to help you achieve big results so that you can make a difference with youth AND build a business that you absolutely love.

What can you do? Write an article for a local publication (online or print). Post helpful tips on your Facebook page or other social media platforms.
