Etiquette Certification: JK Rowling, Harry Potter and Manners
What Do You, a Coffee Shop and JK Rowling Have in Common?
So many of us are now discovering our passions and choosing to act on them by starting a business.
I read an article in the Wall Street Journal that references many business owners and authors, one being JK Rowling. I bet you have heard her story of how she was a struggling single mother in Scotland. She would head to her favorite coffee shop, The Elephant House to write.
Birthplace of Harry Potter
At Manners To Go we also have outstanding stories about our licensees. We have a licensee that has an engineering background and now has become an etiquette expert. See her story in the “Links and Resource Guide” at the end of this post.
Two event planners, one from each coast, have started their business teaching manners to children. A human resource expert and a busy mom of two took the plunge and they are now sharing her talents with children.
A preschool music teacher has added a manners curriculum to her list of programs. She has certainly expanded her business by offering manners classes to all ages, not just preschoolers.
Now is the time to start a business! Especially one teaching children. The world needs what you have to offer. Parents are looking for the human connection. It has become a luxury to offer their children private manners sessions. Schools definitely need you to teach in the classroom and for school assemblies.
Make sure you see the “Links and Resource Guide” below to read articles about how summer camp programs and country clubs are in need of experts to teach programs.

Etiquette Certification: A New Licensee Joins Manners To Go
Natasha Jones has joined our team! We literally spent two days together, shoulder to shoulder, face to face and got a tremendous amount accomplished on her new business.
You will love watching this video as I interview Natasha who comes to us with a varied background. She was an industrial engineer and has a corporate background. Listen to her speak about how starting a business teaching etiquette will transform her as she moves forward as an entrepreneur.
As a wife, mother of three and new business owner, Natasha Jones is driven and ready to start teaching manners to children.
Natasha chose our 2-Day/Private Immersion option. We spent two action filled days together learning how to market a business, write proposals, social media techniques and of course the details on how to teach manners to children.
Not only did she learn the intricacies of American and European style dining, Natasha was also trained by an executive chef on how to eat with chopsticks!
Natasha and I had the opportunity to teach over 40 children at the Boys and Girls Club. She observed me teaching but she participated in the role-playing activities. She watched teenagers learn about the importance of eye contact, a professional handshake, how to make casual and business introductions, and to treat each other with respect and kindness.

Etiquette Expert: How to Get Noticed When You Are First Starting Out
Let’s talk about the business of teaching manners to children. After many conversations with those that are already Manners To Go licensees and those of you that are thinking about it…. I am really good at noticing patterns. Specifically those questions around the business aspect of becoming an etiquette expert.
A common question is:
Teaching Manners: How Can I Get Noticed When I am Just Starting Out
You know you have a passion for teaching children and a desire to start a business. That is not enough. You must consider the business aspect of it.
We are here to guide you on getting started. Today, we provide tips on how you can get noticed online and in your community.
Remember, once you are trained and certified, you are educated in the topic and provide a service. You are now the guide and the expert to teach character education, social skills and life stills to children and teenagers.
Mindset: This is key. You are a business owner. Let this sink in. A business mindset is important of course, but your mindset must also be a positive one. Starting a business takes work but those that have a fresh and positive outlook are the ones that are successful.
Networking: Get out and let other business owners and educators know what you are doing. Check out local resources in your community. Attend meetings at your local Small Business Association. Is there a Femfessionals in your city? How about the American Business Women’s Association? Your local Chamber of Commerce?
Social Media: This is free and valuable. Social media is a key component in showcasing you and your new business. In fact, this training provided during our certification. We train you in how to use it. All aspects of it. Facebook can become your new best friend. It is free and provides a platform for you to practice with your new marketing ideas. Are you on LinkedIn? If not, set up your profile today.
Be Persistent: Consistency and persistence pays off …in anything we do. You must follow-up with potential clients. Change the way you think about persistence. Being persistent shows that you care.
How Can You Help Someone: This may be the most important tip of all. Change your mindset as you make your list of where to get started in your community. Think about yourself as the expert now. How can you help the schools in your area? How can you help provide programming for youth summer camps and country clubs? How can you help your local Scout programs? How about all the after school programs? School assemblies? I could go on and on but you most likely have a good idea on how you can help.

Manners To Go: Stories of Transformation
We are so very proud of our licensees. Many have stories of transformation since becoming certified by us.
One is a newly published author.
Another has taught a 20 week program for a private school. The school along with the parents requested that manners be a part of the standard class structure… not an elective but a requirement for all middle school students.
Within a month of becoming certified, another licensee landed a beautiful article in a local magazine which showcased her etiquette business. See the “links and resources” below to read and watch an interview about April.
A retired educator is about to start her business teaching manners. She is in the midst of building a website and talking about her new business every where she goes. She is such an inspiration! I look forward to our training calls.
I could go on and on about the stories of transformation we hear.
Stay tuned over the new few months as I showcase and interview others about how starting an etiquette business has transformed their lives.

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 is a consummate professional and has been an invaluable resource to me as I begin my new business. Not only is she warm and welcoming in person, she is also an expert in her field who makes the subject matter relatable and accessible to her clients. Her training has provided me with a vast knowledge of etiquette and best practices for teaching it.
As an international business operator, I have been impressed with Lisa’s curiosity and questions, which enabled her to advise me and apply her product in a new region for a new audience. Her knowledge of marketing enabled me to hit the ground running and hold my first classes within weeks of becoming certified. Not only have I opened my own business but I have also gained a teammate who is committed to my success. ~ Jenni F., Macau, China
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 selected her program because of the virtual delivery method of training. The lesson plans and student handouts were easy to download and review before engaging in her one-on-one conference calls. During each call, Mrs. Richey was very focused in conveying her business strategies she has proven to be successful over the years. Mrs. Richey’s Manners To Go certification program is really a “best value” program considering her efficient use of the virtual delivery method of training, the quality of teaching materials provided and the effective, interactive business calls with her I found necessary to guide my steps to make the business of teaching manners successful. ~ Aleta Greenspan, Alabama
As a former teacher, I deliberated for months over which etiquette curriculum would best fit and equip me with quality materials, instruction and support to reenter the field of education. Manners To Go delivers! I regret not getting started sooner. The investment is modest for the quantity and caliber of materials you receive, not to mention the personal coaching from Lisa. The curriculum is age appropriately structured and organized in an easy to study format that positions you to execute your lesson confidently prepared. If you have a passion for equipping young people in etiquette, Manners To Go, is the way to go! ~ Alissa R. | Etiquette Consultant, 2016
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
Lisa, I am so happy I found you. I’ve wanted to teach kids etiquette for years, but never had the time to research all the material and then figure out how to teach it. With your Manners To Go program, I now have the perfect program to start my business. You delivered exactly what you promised: excellent support and a turnkey system. 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. I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting to teach children’s etiquette! ~ Sandra E. Etiquette Consultant 2014
Lisa went above and beyond what she promised to deliver. Her enthusiasm she shares for my business is very reassuring. I have found a life long mentor. ~ Michele W. Etiquette Consultant 2016
