What Happens During the 2-Day In-Person Training?
I invite you to an exclusive opportunity to focus entirely on you and your new business. Meet me in a beautiful location, I handle the planning, and sit with me as I teach you everything you need to know about the business of teaching manners to children. I share the marketing strategies that built Manners To Go over 23 years. We dine together and laugh; I’m all about beautiful experiences and having fun.
Some licensees have called the training life-changing, more than they expected going in. You choose the city, and we agree on the date together. Trainings take place in locations like The Ritz-Carlton, The Grand Bohemian, and other private dining settings across the U.S.
The above is included in the fee. You are responsible for your travel and overnight (if necessary) expenses.

How the 2-Day In-Person Program Works
Step 1
Once you register and book your training dates, you will receive instant access to the complete Manners To Go™ resource library. You can download all of the teaching and student materials onto your own computer so you can start reading and learning right away. You may want to review the materials before you arrive for your training.
Step 2
During our two days together, you will be trained to deliver the Manners To Go™ curriculum to any audience. We will adapt the training to your specific needs and teach you how to customize the lessons based on group size, age level, the organization and meeting venue, and the time frame. We will also focus on marketing strategies you can use to grow your business effectively.
Step 3
Once you complete your two-day training, you will be officially certified and licensed to teach the program! You can use the Manners To Go™ branding in your marketing materials and receive a badge for your website stating that the American Academy of Etiquette and Manners To Go™, an international brand, accredits you to teach manners to children.
Step 4
You have the right to use all the Manners To Go™ materials and branding for 3 years without paying any fees or royalties, and you will have complete access to any new and/or updated teaching and marketing resources that are added to the resource library during this time. After the three-year period, you must pay $750 for refresher training to continue using the Manners to Go™ materials and branding.
