At Peerless Etiquette we have an initiative inspire youth to live a life of civility and kindness wherever they go, but it all begins with you. We want our young people to know that etiquette and proper behavior is cool, that there is power in poise that opens doors of opportunity to help forge more meaningful relationships. We caught up with Commercial Model, Paraprofessional ESE, and Nursing Student, Sarah to ask her a few questions. Hopefully her answers to our questions will inspire you in some way. At Peerless Etiquette we see etiquette and civility as a lifestyle, we are always looking for dynamic individuals to leave positive footprints for our youth and others to follow.

Do you think today’s woman is concerned enough with, or prioritizing learning etiquette and social graces appropriately?
No. I think that much of our communication is now digital and proper etiquette is not being taught to our youth.
Do you believe there is power in femininity? If so why?
Absolutely. I am naturally very feminine and it something that people first notice about me. Some find it charming, some may find it comforting but it is most important that you are true to yourself and find your own unique femininity. Femininity does not always mean dainty or soft; it is so diverse which is what makes it so powerful.
