Etiquette Certification: 3 Lessons I’ve Learned from our Licensees | All of our licensees have touched me in many ways. I am so proud of them. In fact, bursting at the seams proudly.
A new licensee called this morning for advice. The new licensee and I met two weeks ago in NYC for her 2 Day In-Person Immersion training. We posted on social media several times during the training. We posted together as she observed a manners class in action. The two of us posted as we had afternoon tea together at Tiffany’s. We applied all the appropriate hashtags, such as her city.
Our postings were noticed!
Within a week, a local magazine contacted her for an interview. They are interviewing her about the business she is starting. It also includes a photo shoot. WOW! This is amazing press for someone who is just starting a business.
Another licensee is publishing a book. More to come about her in the spring.
Another licensee had the chance over the summer to work with royalty.
Yes, we are proud and celebrating in our office today.
All of this glowing and recognizing others’ achievements is what prompted this article.
3 Lessons I have Learned from the Manners To Go, Licensees.
If You Dream It, You Can Do It | Yes, you can. If you have a passion, whether for teaching manners to children or painting, if you can dream it you can create it for yourself.
It takes stamina. You must take action. It is doable and achievable if you put your mind to it.
Importance of a Fast Start | My first job was with Speedo. Our manager at the time drilled this message into the entire sales team. We even had notepads with “FAST START” at the top. I have a vivid memory of it.
Many of my licensees have a “Fast Start”. Many already have classes lined up before they are trained.
During our training, I tell my licensees not to get too focused on the day-to-day operations. Of course, we believe in the organization and having your ducks in a row but you must serve your passion. Your passion is to teach….. that is your starting point….to get out and teach!

Lisa Richey’s Manners To Go certification program provides a highly efficient and effective training program for anyone considering starting a manners and etiquette business. I selected her program because of the virtual delivery method of training. The lesson plans and student handouts were easy to download and review before engaging in her one-on-one conference calls. During each call, Mrs. Richey was very focused in conveying her business strategies she has proven to be successful over the years. Mrs. Richey’s Manners To Go certification program is really a “best value” program considering her efficient use of the virtual delivery method of training, the quality of teaching materials provided and the effective, interactive business calls with her I found necessary to guide my steps to make the business of teaching manners successful. ~ Aleta Greenspan, Alabama
As a former teacher, I deliberated for months over which etiquette curriculum would best fit and equip me with quality materials, instruction and support to reenter the field of education.

I was looking for charm school type material for my after school program for girls, and came upon the Manners To Go website. It was like finding a treasure trove of “what-to-do(s)” and “how-to-do(s)” on manners for children. It was more that I could have imagined finding. It is, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I have ever made.
In receiving my MTG training, Lisa provided every tool and resource needed to become a successful MTG Consultant. What excited me the most is that the training includes access to her many years of experience as a successful businesswoman.
I recommend the MTG program to parents, grandparents, teachers, after school programs, or anyone who may be concerned about what our children need know about manners and etiquette. Lisa’s Manners To Go is a great product, and it is a joy working with her! ~ Lindafaye N. Etiquette Consultant
