"Etiquette and courtesy are a necessary part of society. Without some knowledge of the rules governing these, no man or woman is fairly equipped for the daily round of business or social interaction. By a kindly, courteous manner the lowest and least conspicuous may reach a place from which to command the attention and respect of the mightiest."

Testimonial

  • "We were so delighted to have etiquette expert Jennifer Wahlig on our Podcast!  It's a video podcast so Jennifer was able to visually teach us meal etiquette.  She was FANTASTIC and extremely knowledgeable. I am still in shock that we didn't know 75 percent of what she taught. So valuable!"

  • “Jennifer worked with my high school aged son in preparation for meeting with college athletic coaches. I can not COMPLIMENT adequately her attention to the small details that matter the most.  My son absorbed all that she had to offer and would not have done so with the same enthusiasm had the direction been provided by myself or my husband. I’ve had the pleasure to witness first hand my son’s confidence level soar when interacting with adults. Her service is brilliant and one that I can’t recommend enough for any high school aged individual looking for preparation in their next chapter in life. Every one can benefit from Jennifer’s level of detail and her impeccable service; she truly cares. Most importantly, my son adored working with her.”

She helped my daughter craft a compelling elevator pitch, guided her through a successful business clothes shopping spree, and imparted valuable lessons on enhancing her body language. My daughter's confidence has improved thanks to Jen's expertise and support. I couldn't be happier with the results!”
