Diane, London & Middlesex Housing Corporation wants to thank you personally for your presentation on Etiquette Essentials in the Workplace you presented to our employees June 2012.  We had great feedback from our employees, both about the subject matter and you as a presenter. You made the topic fun and interesting, and you also taught us all about etiquette mistakes we may have been making without even knowing it. Thanks you again for a wonderful presentation. We hope to have you back.

The trilogy was intriguing, informative and very well presented by Diane. The tailored course was specific and relevant to both my personal and professional needs. The workshop has made me more confident and has empowered me with the professional skills to succeed with my “social intelligence”. The trilogy covered all my objectives and expectations plus some. I would highly recommend to others.
