HR professionals and sales organizations, contact me to speak on topics such as personal branding, how to build stronger and better relationships with clients and colleagues, ways to connect the multi-generations that make up the workforce and of course how to dine with ease and grace during a business meal.
Many of my clients comment that my delivery is engaging, informative and makes an immediate difference within an organization.
From Portland, Oregon to the Middle East, I have delivered my popular programs to hospitals, financial firms, universities and management consulting companies. I have helped thousands of people to become more polished, professional and powerful.
My broad base of clients includes Deloitte, Ernest & Young, Siemens, Starz Channel and The Ministry of Bahrain. The audiences have ranged from a group of 12 up to 250. I am available for corporate in-house training or conferences.
My base is Raleigh, NC, and I travel all over the United States as well as international destinations.
I believe etiquette and manners should not be thought of as stuffy and judgmental. Etiquette is about self-interest. Not rules.
Lisa Richey’s Manners To Go Certification program and her American Academy of Etiquette Business Training and Certification program provided me the opportunity to turn my longtime dream of educating youth, young adults and business professionals on proper etiquette into a reality! After my first call with Lisa, I knew her passion to educate, and expose was the same as mine. This with her passion and commitment to help individuals who want to start their own etiquette and manners business, solidified why I chose to receive both of my certifications from Lisa’s programs.
As a dual licensee, I am living my dream of educating and exposing individuals to manners and proper etiquette. I had the privilege of undergoing in-person, comprehensive training on social protocols, communication skills, cultural awareness, and so much more. The materials provided were meticulously curated to encompass a wide range of scenarios for both youth and adults, ensuring I’m equipped to handle any situation with grace and professionalism.
Thanks to the foundation Lisa’s certifications afforded me, I’ve had the opportunity to witness firsthand the transformative impact of etiquette on individuals and organizations, fostering stronger relationships and enhancing personal and professional success.
I am truly grateful for the mentorship and guidance Lisa continues to provide me.
