587: Twelve Minute Convos w/ Adrienne Barker

CEO & FOUNDER - ADRIENNE BARKER

I have been in business for over 35 years working in my family's distributorship as the Corporate Vice President.  I am thankful for my success and all that I have accomplished.

During this time, I have served on numerous boards and committees, and have attended countless dinner meetings, events and presentations.

I have experienced the uncomfortable feeling when you are not sure the expectation required during a business meeting or lunch. I know first hand the embarrassment of doing something wrong and not even realizing it until it is too late.

This made me realize that protocol and etiquette were the skills I was lacking. It was time for me to advance my career and education by attending The Protocol School of Washington.  I graduated in April of 2016 and have since then continued my studies and have earned my degree as a certified International Corporate Etiquette and Protocol Consultant.

I want to teach everything I have learned in the past 36 years, along with the new skills that I have worked so hard to acquire, such as body language, event planning, leadership & management and communication & listening. I am qualified to teach everyone from young students to corporate America. I bring knowledge, humor and my personal stories to workshops, and I will tailor programs to fit your needs.

Please feel free to reach out to me. I love to learn more and share my knowledge - Let's swap stories!
