Logan Finerty | Partner at the Moneta Group, Investment Advisors

“Patty creates an approachable environment on a topic that can feel overwhelming and intimidating for most. The presentation is engaging and energizing, no matter your level of etiquette experience, there is something new to learn. Patty inspires you to build your own brand and teaches you how to bridge the gap between etiquette and modern-day technology. This is our second time we have partnered with Patty and we will plan to do it again!”

Macey Kuelker | Sales Development Manager, Saint Louis Bank

"Patty presented at our sales retreat and was so resourceful to our entire team! Prior to meeting, I came to Patty with a few topics we were interested in, then she went above and beyond to surpass expectations. In a post pandemic world, this was an important topic we wanted to equip our team with. Patty's expertise was extremely evident and her presentation style was received by all. From speed networking to dinner manners and phone etiquette, Patty's knowledge was exactly what we all needed! It was a fun and playful environment that left all attendees more educated and equipped than before."

MENTOR REVIEW

Maria Everding | President and Founder of The Etiquette Institute

“When you first asked me to give a presentation to your Pure Fashion group, I thought to myself that you would be the perfect candidate to teach etiquette. Never did I think it would become a reality. You are such a classy lady with the desire to share your expertise with others. You are so poised, gracious and kind that anyone who learns from you will be privileged. It was truly my honor to train and certify you through The Etiquette Institute.”

Jennifer Pickerell | Director of Career Services at McKendree University

“Thank you for serving as our guest speaker for the Dining Seminar that we host for McKendree University students. Your presentation was very informative, with humor added at appropriate times. You did a great job of connecting timeless etiquette protocol with contemporary topics, such as social media and cell phone etiquette. It was obvious as I looked around the room that students were engaged, and I talked to a few students after the event who said that they learned a lot from you and thought the seminar was a valuable experience. You were able to develop a rapport with students and they were comfortable asking you a variety of questions. The handout you provided with a variety of etiquette questions was also helpful because students will be able to refer back to that information. Our goal was for students to feel more comfortable in a professional setting as they begin their professional career, and I am confident that goal was met.”

Jessica Zuniga | President of John Paul II Preparatory

“Patty came to our high school, St. John Paul II Preparatory School, this past spring to give a presentation to students in grades 9-12. Her talk was informative, interesting, and funny. The students learned a range of manners and skills, such as basic table manners at a restaurant, the proper way to greet parents when picking up a date, and how to introduce oneself when meeting someone new in various social settings. The skills learned from this presentation gave our students the confidence to feel comfortable in every social setting, whether it be at a party with peers or a job interview.

Patty has a good rapport with young people. She was able to engage the students from the moment she began her presentation. Her sense of humor kept the students interested, and while they learned many new skills, they were also entertained. Patty’s talk combined personal testimonies as well as factual material, which gave the presentation the appropriate balance.

The information Patty shares is invaluable for the human formation aspect of educating the youth. The more comfortable a young person feels in social situations, the more confident they will become. Confidence and poise will ultimately help a young person achieve success in the college years and beyond in the career field.”

WARDROBING

Emily M.

“Patty was a tremendous help with wardrobing.  After spending sometime together she was able to help me generate over 50 new looks from my very own closet and give me the confidence to style some pieces that I’ve always loved but never knew how to wear.  Our time together was the best blend of professionalism while also feeling like you were spending time with an old friend.  Patty really helped take a somewhat daunting task and turn it into a very fun experience!  I’m looking forward to more help and advice as the seasons change and new pieces are added to my wardrobe.”
