“GOOD MANNERS REFLECT SOMETHING FROM THE INSIDE – AN INNATE SENSE OF CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS AND RESPECT FOR SELF”

MEET THE FOUNDER

Bringing Back Kindness into Everyday Living

Hi, my name is Penny Aviotti, and I’m delighted you are here – because it means you are looking to develop better principles of etiquette and good manners as you navigate relationships in the modern world.

Whether in the workplace, schools or universities, churches, or special groups, people face communication issues that affect interactions, behaviors, and building relationships. Employees struggle with professionalism in the face of hidden rules and protocol. New graduates are tasked with presenting a more mature version of themselves as they enter the land of adulthood. Business professionals want to build tight relationships and leverage networking in certain settings. Executives want to make a dynamic impression in upscale settings and client dinners. Overall, people want to make unforgettable impressions and build a reputation for being emotionally intelligent, charismatic, thoughtful, engaging, and aware of how they interact with others.

MS CORPORATE MANNERS PHILOSPHY

I believe etiquette doesn’t have to be stuffy, and it’s not just about knowing what fork to use. It’s the people skills that put other people first, make them feel comfortable, and build respectful relationships.

I believe good eye contact and a strong handshake may seem like little things, but people will perceive you as more confident and reliable.

I believe good manners are more than just common courtesy. They represent a reflection of who you are. People with good manners are perceived as more intelligent and caring. It’s just that simple.
