”Ms. Cindy Grosso is not only my mentor but also my friend. She easily demonstrates how one can be successful in business but still extend kindness to everyone. I enjoyed my training time with her so much that I wish I could go spend another week in SC just to hang out. Thank you Charleston School of Protocol and Ms. Grosso.

”Success in business comes down to this…it is the small things that make the biggest difference. Cynthia Grosso understands this principal and builds the concept into each and every etiquette training session that she has authored or conducted. I am thrilled to have become certified under her program.

”I had been teaching manners for 8 years when I found Cindy Grosso’s site. I needed a total revamp for my summer Manners Camp. Cindy gave me the vital tools that I needed to continue successful ongoing and updated etiquette classes for ages 4 years to young professional adults. Thank you so much Cindy for the fantastic training, materials and continued mentoring. You’re the best!

”Your etiquette presentation in our Applied Leadership class was a great way to tie together many of the concepts we covered. The students felt there was real value in what you offered, and encouraged me to include you in future classes.

”Ms. Cynthia Grosso has spoken to my Fitness students for the past 6 years. Each time I have Ms. Grosso speak, my students share their enjoyment and enlightenment from the information that is presented. Typically I have Ms. Grosso speak at the beginning of the program, concerning professionalism and a second visit to speak on interview techniques. Some of the comments that I have received include: “Wow, what a dynamic speaker.” “Ms. Grosso is a motivating and inspiring speaker, will she be speaking to us again?” I have personally known Cindy for almost 25 years. She is dedicated to her family, friends and her professional code of ethics. I would highly recommend Cindy if you are looking to bring your team, or business to a higher level of excellence!

”When I think of doing things the right way and treating others with respect, I think of Cindy Grosso. She teaches the Golden Rule, that is, treating others the way you want to be treated. Cindy is the epitome of professionalism, and it has been my privilege to collaborate with her on many projects in my capacity as the Executive Director of the Krause Center for Leadership and Ethics at The Citadel, where we focus on developing principled leaders. She teaches you how to act with grace under pressure, and she makes it fun.

”I am a mentor for the Florida Leadership Academy this year. Today was the fourth time I have heard your presentations and I just wanted to send my appreciation for what you do. You have been one of the highlights of the program each semester. Thank you!

”Cindy Grosso came to our medical center and spoke to our staff a couple of years ago. Her sessions on professional etiquette were positive and uplifting. She reminded each of us that we should take pride in what we do...that we are all important... that we have a responsibility to be a positive part in the day of each and every person that is put in our path. Cindy has since spoken at two of our state meetings and received outstanding evaluations from all attendees with many requests that we invite her back. She reminds us that professional etiquette and great customer service have been and will always be essential in the workplace, especially in healthcare. She makes you want to be the best that you can be.

”Cindy Grosso was the only speaker/trainer that spoke to my Florida Leadership Academy (University of Florida, Heavener School of Business) students every year in the 13 years I led the program. In fact, she spoke twice per year. She is the consummate professional and partner in helping college students transition to professional life. To be clear, she adds value to everyone she encounters!

She has a good soft skill and human capital focused message. Working with Cindy is a pleasure to work with, she is dependable and a professional.
”Cindy made a huge difference in Premier's appearance/presentation. She helped me personally in that she opened my eyes to how speech and presentation affect people's experiences at Premier. Cindy also impacted my staff making them aware of their clothing choices, answering the phone with a smile and communicating to patients in a way that would be most receptive to them. I thank God for Cindy's giftings and passion for etiquette.
