What Is an Etiquette Consultant and What Do They Do?

A CERTIFIED etiquette consultant has been trained to teach to people of all ages the proper way to conduct oneself in various professional and social settings. Social etiquette informs an individual about behavior that society considers acceptable. Some rules stand the test of time, but other rules go by the wayside to adjust to the modern world. The trick is learning the difference.

What is the difference between social etiquette and business etiquette?

Business etiquette is genderless and is about building relationships with other people regardless of gender. Chivalry expected in proper social etiquette concerning age and gender is not appropriate in a business setting.

In a business setting, which side do I put my name tag on?

In the United States, the name tag should be worn above the pocket on the right side of your shirt, blouse, or blazer. Lapel pins are worn on the left side of the body, near the heart.

What is the most important rule to remember concerning etiquette?

Kindness and etiquette are one and the same. Which fork to use is not the point. If you create a gracious environment where others feel comfortable and secure, you are doing your part to create a better world.

How far in advance should we book?

To ensure availability, it’s recommended to inquire several weeks or even months in advance, especially for conferences, graduation seasons, and professional development events.

However, if your event is approaching quickly, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule.
