I am grateful for the training that I received from Mrs. Powery, I learned a ton of great information that I will carry with me 

throughout the course of my life!

 I learned how to work a room, network with professionals, dress for corporate and dine with                                                                                                   sophistication! I recommend that everyone who is willing 

or who has ever

 been curious about taking an etiquette class to definitely step out with Boldness!! Mrs. Carolyn Powery was well educated and very skillful! I hope to learn more from her in the future!

"Mrs. Powery is inspiring as she is influential. 

Our students loved her presentation on becoming a "Polished Professional". She

 is very knowledgeable and is more than willing to share said 

knowledge with the next generation. Applying the skills, tips, and training the students and staff have learned through this 

training will definitely assist with creating their brand. We wish Ms. Powery much success and recommend The Etiquette &

"Carolyn Powery did a great job presenting the four etiquette 

series on interviewing skills, networking, dining etiquette, and 

dressing for interviews." Gina, Palm Beach State College

It was quite an eye-opening experience hearing Carolyn Powery, MS Etiquette Coach speak Friday when I attended my Trio Welcome Back Forum at Palm Beach State College (Lake Worth Campus). She exposed the importance of being on top of my body language at all times since our body language makes up about 55% of our first Impression on someone. She also stressed the importance of college students establishing a personal brand early by cleaning up social media accounts, using any occasion to network, perfecting their handshake, and even starting a personal blog. Hence, making you appear more marketable than other applicants to potential employers. 

Thank you, Mrs. Powery, for coming to my college, and I would definitely recommend anyone to sign-uo for your etiquette workshops!  Stefan Douglas

Carolyn Powery is absolutely fantastic! I loved her presence

 and how she engaged my interest.I believe that she truly 

represents what she teaches. 

She has a lot of class and her series will help any student that 

plans to be successful."
