The Basics of Character and Etiquette Catherine Ferrier Smith

The School of Protocol Handbook takes the student much further than the traditional Etiquette Schools and "Charm Schools" do. The Handbook includes thought provoking questions that are designed to assist the student to look deeply within themselves rather than 'memorizing the information for the test'. Perhaps this is because Catherine is a Spiritual Life Coach with more than 39 years' experience. She realized that the foundation of the teachings in this handbook must focus on a much more well-rounded approach for all so that the 'information' integrates into the person and, hopefully, their life. The information presented will teach your child the importance having 'Street Smarts' and of taking 100% responsibility for their entire life. In the sharpened sense of mind while taking responsibility they will have the tools and knowledge to forgive and be forgiven, receive their worth to their highest capacity and be thankful for all that they have or have experienced. They will have the foundation to be completely themselves whether they are 'dressed up', 'dressed down' or 'dressed in a sack'! The Character and Etiquette Handbook covers subjects such as STRESS, ANXIETY and FEAR because, in my experiences as a teacher and as a coach, I have found that these monsters are enemies of success and happiness in life. If children can have tools and awareness at a young age, there are untold roadblocks that will never surface or at least be minimal. Even if mastering is difficult in the beginning, before you know it things will sink in and make sense. Not only that, knowing what Character and Etiquette is supposed to be will be a foundation that will come back for your children time and again. And, like riding a bike, they will always remember how to ride when they are ready and have a need! Good Character and Etiquette isn't only about being social out in the world. It is also about respecting and communicating within the family unit, the relationship unit, the friend unit and the school/work unit. Taking steps to master Character and Etiquette can create the foundation for fuller, successful home, personal, school and work lives. If you want to have better friends, be one. If you want to have a better work, school or home life, do your share. Take 100% responsibility for your surroundings, actions, relationships and work in the world. Be the best you can be in all that you do. Keep your faith. Your life will soar, and you will excel and remain in all ways EXTRAORDINARY! Each part of this book acts as a building block for success in all areas of life. It will act as a guide that gives the family a basis or a plan from which to work with as the children are being raised and as the adults are continuing to grow.
