In short
An etiquette course designed for those who want to move with ease in every situation. Not a list of bon ton rules to memorize, but a method for understanding why good manners truly help us in everyday life.
Because galateo is a way of being, one that speaks of respect and avoids unnecessary discomfort.
Who it's
for
Private individuals, freelance professionals and anyone working with the public. Or simply anyone who believes good manners have never gone out of style.
Objectives
• Knowing galateo for what it truly is: a way of being, not a list of rules to memorize.
• Grasping the difference between bon ton, galateo and etiquette, and why it matters.
• Feeling at ease in any situation, without playing a part.
• Taking care of image, bearing and way of communicating as a natural expression of self.
• Recognizing dress codes and dressing appropriately for every occasion.
• Knowing how to converse: listening, speaking up, finding the right tone.
• Avoiding gaffes and lapses in style, so that "class is forever" doesn't remain just a saying.
