WHAT is it that provokes a young mother to drag her kicking and screaming eight-year-old son up a forty-foot sidewalk, open the front door to my home, and place him in the entryway while exclaiming; "Attending a manners class is not an option; you do not have a choice; I will be back to get you in three hours!"

WHAT is it that provokes a mother to insist that her entire family-father, mother, and son-attend a class on social graces, and demand that the adult reinforced poor behavior at her dining room table cease immediately lest she pull out her hair and her ten-year-old son become a social recluse because no one will want to dine or associate with him?

WHAT is it that convinces a seventy-year-old grandmother, well-educated in the social graces, to attend a manners and etiquette class with her thirteen-year-old granddaughter in order to get her the social training she needs?

WHAT is it that causes the corporate high-tech and world-traveler father of a fifteen-year-old daughter to demand that she is barred from traveling or dining with him or any of his associates until she has been well-trained in the social graces?

WHAT is it that provokes a mother to register her three teens for a manners and etiquette class, drive thirty-five miles to get there, then sit in the car for one and one half hours refusing to leave until the fifteen-year-old son figures out she isn't going anywhere until he gets out of the car and goes to class?

WHAT is it that causes a wife to trick her husband into an etiquette and manners class by telling him he's been invited to a friends house for dinner on his birthday and hides the truth from him until their arrival for class?

WHY does the founder and CEO of a CPA firm of more than fifty-five staff members insist that attending a Business Etiquette and Protocol for Professionals seminar be mandatory for the entire staff? 

May I suggest that in each of the incidences mentioned above, these clients of Social Graces Perfected-a mother, father, grandmother, wife or CEO-were passionate in their belief that the future of the person or company they loved was important enough for them to seek the help necessary to change their destination? 

OUR constantly changing society forces us all into a position whereby we must be continually learning new things about what is socially acceptable.

MANNERS can be defined as a person's outward behavior toward others, and based on that behavior, can create either a positive or negative response from those with whom we interact.  The code of conduct by which we all must abide in order to get along in a civilized society is an attitude refinement process that can sometimes take years to perfect.

ETIQUETTE is defined as the guiding code that enables us to practice manners.  It can also be called the signposts by which we are guided to the goal of good tastes. To successfully orchestrate through a social situation requires knowing the rules of etiquette.

GOOD SOCIAL SKILLS enable us to effectively deal with the trials and tribulations of interrelating socially.  They are important to our success in many ways, helping us present ourselves to our best advantage.  Presenting ourselves to our best advantage requires both a social and professional responsibility of personal attitude and behavior which must be implemented anytime we are present with another person, and when our actions might affect the laws of the land.  A positive reflection of our appearance and manners attracts positive attention and admiration from others.  In turn, that helps build our self-esteem.  When our self-esteem is high, we have a greater confidence to embark upon that which we might otherwise choose to avoid.

OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE through Social Graces Perfected are numerous and varied. Regardless of age, individuals needing refinement in social skills will find an appropriate program, all of which are designed to enrich the life of the individual desiring change.

Take a look at our Manners/Etiquette/Social Skills for Children/Teens/Adults page for more information and make plans today to engage the services of Social Graces Perfected for a life enrichment opportunity that could change the path of your future or the future of someone you love.

Companies are continually seeking new ways to improve employee/customer relationships.  Finding positive ways to avoid conflict and build camaraderie is a priority and a mandate for ensuring a profitable business.

Statistically we earn our credibility based on how we look and act because studies have shown a high correlation between appearance and perceptions of professional abilities.

Completion of our Business Etiquette & Protocol for Professionals program will prove that manners DO make a difference as your business experiences a strong relational and productive advantage over the competition.
