Six Manners Specifically for the Dog Days of Summer
Summer
Summer has officially graced us with her presence and just in time for the upcoming Fourth of July holiday. Temperatures have reached a sweltering peak thrusting our brains and our bodies into permanent vacation mode. Traffic all of the sudden seems a bit less intense and schedules have simmered down allowing some much-needed breathing room to take over. However happy we are to take our foot off the speed pedal and let our hair down from June thru August, we shouldn't completely abandon all sense of decorum and decency during the dog days of summer.

Summer Travel
7 Simple Steps to Smooth Out Your Experience in the Sky
The past six months we have seen an unprecedented number of air travel nightmares turn our once friendly skies into an experience fraught with turbulence and turmoil. Years ago, air travel was highly civilized. Passengers dressed in formal attire would sip champagne while playing a game of chess in a spacious setting. Nowadays, travelers are forced into tiny compartments bombarded with bare feet and rude behavior. Read more!

Dissecting the Trump Pump & How to Properly Shake Hands
Some experts say it's the hands - not the eyes - that are the window into one's soul. They believe that the hands provide the greatest insight into a person's true character. President Trump's hands have been in the spotlight since last spring when Governor Rubio questioned their size and claimed they appeared rather small for a man of his stature. In honor of #NationalHandShake Day, we dissect the Trump pump & breakdown how to properly shake. Read here.


I don't even know where to start. I would have to be holed up in my office fixated on the news and shackled to my computer in order to stay on top of the litany of examples that touch my field every single day. 

Whether it's  Jerry Seinfeld innocently denying songstress Kesha a friendly hug or  Kathy Griffin intentionally holding up our President's decapitated head. With one cautionary tale after the next, the continuous need to vent and shock exposes everyone to scrutiny. Between the unfiltered exposure of social media and the unprecedented violence and terrorism that has threatened our safety, it's no wonder we're all walking around with exposed nerves, continuously anxious, and often depressed.  

So where to turn this summer to start making a small difference in your personal life, professional life, and in your community at large? With manners of course! Our list of class offerings are newly designed for the 
college campus to the corporate sector. If it's privacy you prefer?  Private instruction is always an option on any subject under the sun.  Contact us anytime for more information. 
 
Very best wishes and happy almost 4th of July!
