When you first think about etiquette what comes to mind? 

For many of us we quickly think of shows like Downton Abbey or hospitality from our grandparents era. I recently was thinking about this topic and how little we as a culture know not just about it's importance but...what it really is! In this episode Etiquette Coach Courtney Opalko will talk through: 

The difference between old school etiquette and modern etiquette How etiquette can translate into essential life "soft-skills" Must know etiquette for the modern day adult including  How to hold your stemware  How to properly use a napkin  Learn how to apologize appropriately  Write & send thank you notes Posture & eye contact5 etiquette musts to teach our kids from how to set the table to how to properly hold utensils! 

Join us in this conversation that will certainly reframe the way you see etiquette at your table!
