Start Your Own Business by Becoming an International Etiquette or Children’s Etiquette Consultant

No one sums up our mission better than the former
American First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt when she stated:
"For our own success to be real, it must contribute to the success of others."



It is our assumptions of what can and cannot be done that set the parameters for what will or will not be done. You CAN achieve great success through having a rewarding and profitable career that truly helps others reach their goals. If this is your dream, then international etiquette consulting offers the answer.

The Minding Manners International Social Etiquette training and certification programme is based on the longstanding traditional principles of the finest Swiss Finishing Schools. It is based on European savoir-vivre that extends well beyond basic manners to also include style, image and elegance as well as a cultivated appreciation for the finest things that life has to offer: from fine cheeses to Champagne and art appreciation to floral arranging.

Our programme is the most comprehensive and enjoyable programme in the world, offering our trainees an unsurpassed knowledge and an unforgettable training experience that could only happen in one of the world’s most culturally dynamic capital cities --- London.

Our International Business Etiquette training and certification programme is based on contemporary practices of the most elite global corporations around the globe, meaning that our graduates walk away with an unsurpassed knowledge of European, North American, Asian, Middle Eastern and African core knowledge that translates into a competency to develop a niche market in their community for global etiquette consulting.

The programme also includes in-depth training on cross-cultural communication, which is the key to good manners in today’s society. No business etiquette training would be complete without executive image, which, like all of our programmes, is covered from a multi-cultural perspective ensuring that you are as well-dressed and professional in Tokyo or Dubai as you are in New York or Paris.

Our International Children’s Etiquette training and certification programme is the foremost youth etiquette programme in the world.

The youth of today are savvier than ever and with unique demands that extend far beyond the need of handshakes and a proper "How are you?" Today’s children and pre-teens are exposed to a more international environment, one where knowing how to respond to the English "How do you do?" is equally as important as the American "How are you?" (Hint: "How do you do?" is not really a question.) Handshakes, bows, curtseys and cheek kisses are a part of the everyday life of children all over the world. Dining with knives and forks, chopsticks and hands are all equally acceptable in various regions and, if we expect our children to respect other cultures, we need to ensure they understand other cultures and how to fit in.

OUR PROMISE

OUR HISTORY

Minding Manners was Europe’s first consultancy to offer international etiquette training for youth and adults. We launched in the heart of Paris, France on the Rue du Faubourg St. Honoré in 2003 offering children’s etiquette courses for corporate expatriate families, diplomats, international associations as well as royal families, governmental institutions and private companies.

Following on with adult programmes, we were the first institution to bring back the tradition of the European Finishing School, only this time in an accessible, contemporary and modular format. Our relocation to London brought etiquette training to the forefront of the international community and back home to the birth place of modern day etiquette and society lifestyle. We have used every imaginable resource on offer, from the archives of Kensington Palace (birthplace of Queen Victoria and home to Diana, Princess of Wales) to the Victoria and Albert Museum, Embassies and Ministry’s of Foreign Affairs to aristocrats and dignitaries as well as subject matter experts for each topic.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Minding Manners is trusted by European Aristocracy and Royal Families from around the world, but our philosophy is that everyone is a VIP and, as such, deserves a solid foundation in the principles of giving and commanding respect which will become their passport to success across the world.
