• I discovered that as much as business people needed training in thinking on their feet, they needed far more training in the fine art of  getting along and dealing with people in everyday business and social contacts.

We think today’s society is craving well-mannered people — in schools, in social settings, in the workplace. So we set about equipping each new group of  learners with the kind of social skills and courtesies needed to succeed, not so much in our classes, but in life. As long as the world needs civil, well-mannered and respectful men and women, we’ll be here to teach them.
