What young ladies have to say about the program:
I loved the class today. I feel very special and learned how to walk with my head held high!
I liked talking with the girls in my group about the type of women we want to become when we are adults. That was fun.
I liked the skit about appropriate outfits and inappropriate outfits.
No one ever taught me how to walk like that before or even explained what my walk says about me. Cool.

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!"
