Testimonials
It was lovely to meet you and thank you so much for the session for the team last week. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Corporate Client
Thank you, Julie and team, for your expert advice and instruction during our team’s completion of your Dine like a Diplomat masterclass. We took away a refinement of critical etiquette skills which are invaluable in working in today’s multicultural business landscape. A worthwhile investment to ensure the team puts their best foot forward in both business and social contexts.
Corporate Sales Manager
It was a delightful experience for our family, from the hosts, to gorgeous food and the etiquette we learned. The kids had some initial reservation, understandably because this was not an every day event parents would have their children participating in. But in the end they admitted they did take away new understanding and valuable skills. I think, with modern parents' willingness to spend on their children's education, extracurricular skills from sport to music etc. this should be another skill to invest in. This will open up the children's mind and knowledge, helping them to develop into the global citizens essential for their adult lives and future careers. Also instructions coming from an outside source definitely have a stronger impact on the children's acceptance. Thank you very much Julie

Testimonials
I liked the practical nature of the course. It was not lecture style but rather question and answer and conversational. Three things I learnt that I didn't know before are: leave the table from the right, enter from the right, don't start bread until entree is served. Now that I have completed the course with my family I feel that my family has a new respect for table manners and etiquette. I would recommend this course to everyone. It should be taught in schools as part of basic social skills. Thank you again for a wonderful experience.
