What an exciting and amazing week I had last week in Geneva. The course came so handy during my visit. I met very powerful and interesting people, game changers, and industry leaders. Having done the course I was also able to step up my game, oozing with confidence, and guess what, for lunch, I was seated at the main table. I knew exactly which knife to take, how to drink and not leave a mark of lipstick on my glass hahaha. I had a firm handshake and I could join any group and start a conversation.

I. Mukwasa

Dear Courtenay, I immediately implemented my social skills on the plane, and for the first time I talked to the person sitting next to me for the duration of the flight and it was easier to converse about family, movies and fine dining. I arrived at 22:00pm, and at 8:00 am the next day I was doing a function in which we had 2000 guests. In attendance, we had a former vice president and excellencies from different embassies. I sat 30 signatories at the table using the French seating format and it was easy. As director of proceedings, I practiced making an entrance and correct standing posture while I watched everyone, and I couldn’t help but notice that, if they had been to the school of etiquette they wouldn’t have made so many mistakes at the table. Your school is simply the best in preparing us for world impact. Already opportunities keep opening. May God bless you and all the staff.

Dear Courtenay thank you for presenting an amazing business etiquette training course to our frontline team. I have noticed little changes in everyone, which is a great benefit to the company. Even the little details of how to properly do a handshake, small talk, and dealing with unhappy clients have been most beneficial. We have slightly changed our uniform policy to the recommendations made and now present a united front when meeting our clients. I can confidently say that our team represents our brand to a higher standard. Thank you.

Adult finishing school – wow oh wow!!!!!! School of etiquette gosh. I’m a quiet person, can’t sit properly, I walk loudly, I was a mess. And funny enough in the 3-day course I had with them I noticed it’s the little things I do without uttering a word that people look at and judge me by. I learned to walk, gain confidence, dress, to put on makeup, and believe me, I’m even crushing on myself after the make-up session I look exquisite! This was worth the time, money, and effort and I can’t thank Courtenay (elegant woman) and Kane (hunk of note) enough! Thank you, guys.

C. McKillop

Success seminar dear Courtenay and Fraser, after completing the ‘success seminar’ with Fraser yesterday, part of my homework this morning was to list “3 things you can be grateful for”. The first thing that I could think of was” “I am most grateful to the school of etiquette for gifting and blessing me with the tools and knowledge, which when applied will catapult my current state of being into a state of worthiness and to become the person who is meant to soar and fly amongst the stars.” You have ignited and awakened a dormant knowingness and passion within me which makes me want to “know more – do more – be more”, and for that, I will be eternally grateful. The work that you are doing is a true godsend. I would love to see your teachings being implemented into our children’s school curriculum. To me, this is just as important as learning to read and write! For now, I am blessed enough to be able to pass what I know on to my son. I would like to wish you all the best for your new venture and pray that the school of etiquette will grow from strength to strength. Eternally grateful. Blessed. Enriched. Awakened. Thank you. Since I attended your course (success principles) I have secured a new loan for my business, I have attracted new clients to my existing business, I have met someone and I started gym on Wednesday. All thanks to the amazing empowering energy from Monday’s course. I am most grateful. Thank you!
