Business Etiquette Seminars

Tom Bryan
President
SAFE South Atlantic Fire Equipment Company, Inc
"diann is a gifted trainer. She has the ability to meaningfully engage everyone from technicians in the field to the office staff, to the President of the Company. The meaningful lessons we received from her training helped us positively shape the way we deal with our clients and each other. One of my techs recounted how the etiquette training helped him land a sale worth nearly one hundred thousand dollars because his etiquette polish impressed a female executive with a Fortune 500 company. diann was instrumental in helping us become the best in our industry."

Dr. Hannah Carter
Director
Wedgworth Leadership Institute
"diann is my ‘find’ of the year! Thank goodness for the Internet as I do not think I could have found a more excellent etiquette person to speak to my group. In a perfect world we would have been able to have a whole week of diann. Even in one evening, she engaged our group and interacted with them extremely well. The audience participation, and her use of stories made the evening the success it was. She is enlightening, fun, thought provoking and so entertaining. I can’t wait to have her back."

Mr. Jay Severance, Director

Southeastern Regional Conference

International Executives Association
"Professional. Interesting. Timely. Charming. Humorous.....And, sorely needed by many people today. You were a big hit with our folks as our featured speaker. Thank you again diann, for a super seminar on business etiquette for our group."

 

Restaurant/ Wait staff Training

Debra Johnson
General Manager
Timuquana Country Club
Jacksonville, Florida
"I engaged diann to provide wait staff instruction for my service staff. Her classes included information about greetings and hospitality, to place settings, serving and clearing sides, replacing utensils, and everything in between. She taught us tips on selecting wording for describing menu specials to words which turn away anger. diann is a true lady, and her words of advice and encouragement are so welcomed and received by those she instructs. She is very impressive!"

Social Etiquette: etiquette training,
presentation coordinating, and waltz instruction

Hugh Blanton
Chairman of the Confederate Ball
Kosto and Rotella, P.A.
"For diann, etiquette and good manners are not simply ideals, they are living, working realities. In what appears to be an effortless manner, she demonstrates these qualities at all times. This explains why she easily commands the attention of her students - because they see that she lives by the standards that she teaches. She is possessed of such a beguiling and charming, yet authoritative manner, that she leaves a profound impression on her students and it shows in their subsequent conduct."

Leslie Quaritius
Chairman Magnolia Ball 2003
Jacksonville, Florida
"Diann gave our Debutante group of women lifelong lessons in the finishing touches that all well rounded and successful people need. Many gentlemen also gained insight from her classes on proper introductions, dining, thank-you notes and even waltzing. She emphasized how students trained in etiquette must place others before themselves..."

Janet & Bo Drew
Debutante Parents 2004
Jacksonville, Florida
... "The way Diann presented her lessons to the young ladies was done in a professional and fun-loving style, building on their social graces..."

Norma Farnell
2003 Jacksonville Debutante Coterie Chairman
Jacksonville, Florida

"Diann was an invaluable resource to the Debutante Coterie in preparing the girls for both the Magnolia Ball and the Presentation. Her review of etiquette served to reinforce what we’ve tried to teach our daughters throughout their lives. She worked so well with the girls and had a great rapport with them."
