| Understanding Etiquette Coaching & Tutorials |
| Where Do I Start With An Etiquette Consultant? Most coaches/consultants begin with a special client meeting to get to know each other. The coach wants to hear about the client's goals, needs and problems during the preliminary consultation. The client wants to get comfortable with the coach. During this meeting, both parties design a list of goals and an action plan to reach these goals. Prior to this meeting, the client will have the option to receive their welcome package. This package includes checklists and assessment materials to make the most of this meeting. Coaching the Client In the personal coaching sessions, a variety of training methods ranging from hands-on experience (such as a dining tutorial where etiquette is discussed during a meal with the client) to printed handouts. I will assist the client as they practice their skills by using role-plays. Role-playing helps you, the client, rehearse how you would act in real situations. Teaching etiquette to children is very different from teaching etiquette to adults. Children learn, respond, and react differently than adults. Most children & teens don't respond well to lectures, but most love interactive teaching methods; role-plays, story time, puppets, multi-media, humor and/or arts & crafts. The Parent and Child Questionnaire will assist in finding the right teaching method for your child. Parents or caregivers play a important part in determining the needs of their child and their continued success. I know that most parents don't have a lot of extra time to polish or introduce dining and/or social skills for an upcoming event or even everyday etiquette. But your decision to hire an Etiquette Coach to assist your child or teen, shows that you want your child to benefit from these skills. Therefore, I ask that you reinforce our training by encouraging your child to use their new skills. Also, it would be beneficial to have regular parent meetings, which can be just once a month, a few minutes before or after a session, in person or by phone whichever is more convenient. How Often Do I Meet With An Etiquette Coach? Coaching is delivered during regular, weekly or monthly sessions by telephone and/or in person, whichever is more convenient. I spend extra time (gratis) with new clients getting to know them and creating an Action Plan/Training Plan. Together we design the best way we can work together as a team to accomplish these goals. How Much Does It Cost? Contact us regarding hourly and per Session and Project rates. Additional fees may apply for those living outside the city of Santa Barbara. Additional changes for dining tutorials may apply. Clients may call in between sessions for additional assistance (gratis), if needed. Ask about current specials, discounts and gift certificates. How Would I Get Started? If you feel that this type of relationship could work for you, call and let's talk. Etiquette Coaching is not something we sell; it is something you buy because you want to embark on the self improvement that comes with this kind of polish. |
