Start with "Why" When Teaching Manners to Children

If you are reading this article then I bet money you are interested in teaching social skills to children and you absolutely believe in our manners movement.

I smiled and was very pleased when I read Simon’s book, Start with Why and found out that this is the first step to a successful business.

Many entrepreneurs start immediately with the what and how.

As Etiquette Experts, Our WHY is Easy

We believe every child (or adults) deserves to learn good manners.

Of course, this is a critical step but not so critical that we should lose sight of our WHY.

When you are clear on your WHY, the children in your manners classes are inspired by your actions. They sense your passion as a teacher. They are excited to be in your class. You can tell because they are engaging with you during your program.

Here is an expert from the book. I think Simon Sinek, the author makes his point so clear with this analogy.

In his book, Simon tells the story of two stonemasons. The first stonemason is asked “Do you like your job?” He looks up and replies, “I’ve been building this wall for as long as I remember. The work is monotonous. I work in the scorching sun all day. I am not even sure if this work will be completed in my lifetime. It is a job. It pays the bills.”

The second stonemason is asked “Do you like your job?” He looks up up replies, “ I love my job. I am building a cathedral. Sure I have been working on this wall for as long as I remember and yes, the work is monotonous. But I am building a cathedral.”

And a very important reason for you to understand YOUR “WHY” is that parents, educators and children – your clients, are more likely to understand WHY your company is special.

You know, we all need a bit of “special” right now.

My WHY – Teach Manners to Children

I count myself as one of the lucky ones. I am very clear on my WHY.

And here it is:

I want to help all children become confident and socially comfortable in all they do.

A WHY, does not need to be complicated.

We DON’T need complicated now or ever.

And there it is….that is how I can help you. I can help you start a business to teach children and live your passion to inspire parents, teachers and children to use good manners.
