“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.
My First Tea Party
"In an world and during a time where the media sends negative messages to our young ladies, not only about their worth but how they should dress and conduct themselves, I am so pleased to have the opportunity to observe these young ladies as they graduate from the Etiquette Imperative today. Young ladies, you have learned skills that will serve you for a lifetime."
