Gail Jackson, LA – Children’s Etiquette Certified

I'm still smiling. Achieving my goal of obtaining etiquette certification is a wonderful feeling. I've been teaching manners to children for nine years, yet I still lacked confidence, until now. Becoming a certified Children Etiquette instructor will open new doors; I can now soar and take my business to the next level. I am looking forward to summer camp where the etiquette knowledge that I've gained will greatly benefit the children in the Greater New Orleans Area and my staff. Thank you, Cindy. You are a great instructor and I am proud to have been your student. You can reach Gail at www.teatimeEtiquette.com

My training with Cynthia was fantastic! I learned so much and was able to take what I learned back to my university. Cynthia is warm, cordial and very sophisticated. I thought I knew a lot about etiquette, but she taught me more than I could have imagined. The week that I spent with her will always be a highlight for me. I would highly recommend her and her training!

Jeannette Glenn, SC – Professional Etiquette Certified

My search lead me to the Charleston School of Protocol and Etiquette. Upon our initial telephone conversation I realized that I had met the one with love, caring, passion and a wealth of knowledge that could help prepare me to 'do something about the decline in civility. I knew that I had found the teacher for me. Cynthia Grosso is an amazing, passionate, caring, loving, real life teacher who uses andragogy teaching methods, she is a mentor and lifelong coach. She has an awesome heart and love of people. Her knowledge of etiquette and business in the area is equal to or better than the best in the field of etiquette and protocol training.

Definition of Confidence - The faith of belief that you are acting in a right, proper and effective manor. This was in one of the first sessions of my certification program and I think back to it often and consider it the foundation of my business. I was good at my job in client relations but after completing the certification course I was excellent and went on to teach lessons to other employees and interns on proper business protocol and etiquette. Working with Cindy was an absolute joy, even working long distance we hit it off immediately and I was in awe of her knowledge and keen perspective - her wonderful personality was just the icing on the cake! Even years after completing the program Cindy was available when I needed guidance on opening up my consulting business here in Grand Cayman. It was like talking to an old friend. Even with a foreign market her advice was spot on. I enjoy working with Cindy so much and would love to continue to studying under her so much that my dream job would be to move to Charleston and be her assistant so my journey with her would never end!
