Small Greetings = Big Impressions 0

 

Hosting a party requires a lot of work.  It is nearly impossible to greet every guest as they walk in your door.  When making rounds, you inevitably get held up in conversation and can only wonder if you spent time with everyone attending.

A good host needs help.  What better reason to involve your children?

Actually, there is a better reason.  Teaching your children to properly greet and mingle makes them active participants in your event.  Confidence is instilled and social skills are developed.  A winning combination if there ever was one. 

Your guests will never forget that your children

  • Made eye contact
  • Shook hands with them
  • Introduced themselves and other guests
  • Offered a beverage or gave directions to the buffet

Each of these is a skill your children will use throughout their lives.  They are skills that make people likeable and successful.

A fine gift to give your children – and yourself.

Top 5 Etiquette Tips for Halloween 0

Make sure you have a safe and appropriate costume (you know what we mean).

If you are expecting trick or treaters, turn some lights on!

Not everyone likes to be scared, especially small children.

Jack-o-lanterns are made to be seen not smashed.

And lastly remember Halloween is meant to be fun, but saying Thank-You should be #1!

Becoming a Certified Etiquette Consultant at ASP 0

“I am just in awe of the class content and ‘hands on’ training that I received.  There aren’t enough words to express this wonderful training.”

The Value of a Hands On Approach 0

The American School of Protocol® is an extraordinary Etiquette Training Company.  During the 5-Day Train the Trainer program, each trainee is provided the unique opportunity to watch Peggy teach and mesmerize the children as well as gain an actual experience through teaching children etiquette daily.

This valuable training technique not only affords the Trainees a chance to use their new found knowledge immediately, it also creates an excitement and confidence within them.  Trainees realized that their dreams of owning their own business are not just a possibility, but a reality.

Corporate Etiquette Training vs. Children’s Etiquette Training 0

Why both are beneficial to your business

Thank you so much for the valuable information I received during the Children’s Train the Trainer Program.  I participated in the Corporate class first under the assumption I did not need the children’s Training.  Boy was I wrong.

The children’s course was so informative as to business start-up procedures, interacting with young people, how to form classes and what to teach.

I cannot say enough about the manuals. I was amazed that every topic is covered!  The individual Break-out Sessions were fantastic.  There were areas where more one-on-one attention took place and even more instruction was given.  The session with Mary Donne, ASP’s Corporate Attorney answered my questions pertaining to the business side of forming my company.

I am very glad I took both classes and I have no regrets in the order in which I took them.

Corporate Training taught me how to be Professional, The Children’s Training taught me how to teach.

Our Dining Education during my Etiquette Certification Training 0

Being able to watch Peggy conduct the dining portion of the children’s etiquette program each day gave me the opportunity to see a live re-enactment of all of the dining do’s and don’ts learned in our manuals.  Each day we witnessed the children discovering new utensils and styles of dining while working through different courses

The small group session we had with Dolores near the end of the week was especially useful.  There we had to remember and put into use all of the skills we had learned throughout the week. Each of us had a chance to teach one of the dining lessons to our fellow etiquette trainees.  This hands-on experience tested our recall abilities, confidence, and knowledge base. It was a great way to put together everything we had learned so far. Dolores was more than helpful along the way!

Meet our Graduate, Peggy Patrick 0

Let’s face it, most children view etiquette as a boring drudgery and it is probably because of the way most people teach the subject.  In this day and age, families dining together in their home can be virtually non-existent in a child’s life. It is refreshing to see someone of Ms. Newfield’s caliber introduce children to not only manners and etiquette at the table, but also the art of interesting conversation.

During our three hour dinner with the students, I was amazed at how adult the children conducted themselves. The children we worked with quickly blossomed before our eyes.  They were glowing with pride and happiness when the class was over.  As a future Children’s Etiquette Trainer, I feel extremely fortunate to be able to learn Peggy’s style of teaching and to have had the opportunity to work with her amazing staff as well!

Why the American School of Protocol? 0

Upon deciding to build a career in the field of Etiquette, I researched various domestic schools of decorum and protocol.  It quickly became clear that Peggy Newfield, Founder and President of ASP is an industry leader.  Her humble professional beginning followed by years of increasing success meant one thing; Peggy Newfield must be great at what she does!  In speaking with alumnae of various etiquette schools, the majority highly recommended The American School of Protocol®.

By personally attending the “5-Day Children’s Train the Trainer Certification” course, I experienced firsthand Ms. Newfield’s sheer love for teaching and passion for making our world a better place to live.  From her philanthropic work to her professional interests, she eagerly shares her knowledge in hopes of helping others.

My time spent at ASP was a great investment both personally and professionally.  I look forward to continuing my Etiquette Training at The American School of Protocol’s® Corporate Certification Program.

A Life Changing Experience 0

I’ve always desired a greater knowledge of Etiquette.  I went online with an etiquette query and The American School of Protocol® popped up.  This was an answer to my prayers!

I immediately requested information and Peggy Newfield personally called me.  How often in this day and age does one receive an actual phone call from the business owner, and promptly I might add?  This was very impressive.  Within one week, I was committed to attending The American School of Protocol®.

Each day during the Training, we had an opportunity to watch Peggy teach the curriculum to children.  That alone is worth the price of the tuition.  Also, attention to detail from the staff was unsurpassed.

Brenda’s Tablescape Class taught us how to create a beautiful table.  C.P.R Training and Certification with Rebecca showed us how to handle an emergency. Mary Donne’s Corporate Legal guidance opened my eyes to important areas that need to be addressed when owning a business. Dolores made sure our extensive Dining knowledge was perfect. Jessica’s enlightening Social Media Session was full of ways to build our business presence and Martha’s healthy and delicious lunches each day added an extra five pounds.

I would highly recommend The American School of Protocol® to anyone that is interested in starting their own children’s Etiquette career.  The class prepares you with everything you need to start your business.  What you take away is a life changing experience.
