Etiquette Imperative Program Enriches the Lives of Twenty-three Young Ladies!
Over a five week period of time, each young lady received etiquette coaching in the areas of visual poise, personal grooming and style, communication and social etiquette and table manners through fun interactive exercises in order that the newly learned information may become a replicable life skill.
Having successfully completed The Etiquette Imperative Program, all graduates shared an elegant dining experience at American Girl Place in Chicago's Water Tower. Take a sneak peek at our program!
The special young person in your life may participate in The Etiquette Imperative at our location or these life enriching coaching classes may be coordinated at your school or community organization. Please email us or call us at (312) 479-0789 to learn more.

“Possessing good manners helps children build confidence, increase self-esteem, improve communication skills, make friends, and create a positive impression on others.”
“Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot."
Is there a correlation between etiquette and a girl's future
earning power?
Yes!
Three separate studies conducted by Harvard University, the Carnegie Foundation, and the Stanford Research Institute agree that "Success in getting, keeping, and advancing in a job depends 85% on people skills and only 15% on technical skills." So proper social skills including courtesy and respect may be the bottom line in determining a profitable future.
"This (The Etiquette Imperative) is a beautiful thing. It is such a blessing to see young ladies be excited about and successfully learn and demonstrate such poise and grace. You all keep doing what you are doing!"
