L.A. School of Etiquette

Etiquette and Protocol Training for You, Your Staff and Your Children

With Daryl Twerdahl, an Instructor Certified by the Washington School of Protocol

         The Los Angeles School of Etiquette and Protocol® was founded in 1998 by Daryl Trainor Twerdahl to teach contemporary manners to business and professional people and their families.

          Success is not just determined by how smart, talented or aggressive you are,  but by how you conduct yourself around others.  Being a good "people person" is not just being sensitive to others or having a good sense of humor, but also in knowing the appropriate things to say and do.

People are often not noticed for their good manners, but they almost always are noticed for their bad manners

The Los Angeles School of Etiquette and Protocol trains people in what to do  in almost any social or business setting.  Do you know the proper way to introduce two people to one another?  The correct fork or wine glass to use at dinner?  Or, the proper way to write or respond to a formal invitation? 

 

Training at the Los Angeles School of Protocol and Etiquette is fun,

informal, entertaining, highly interactive and surprisingly affordable.  You'll enjoy the experience while you gain knowledge to help you in everyday life.  While Amy Vanderbilt and Emily Post were great in their day for teaching manners, you won't find our classes stuffy or old fashioned.  We teach what you need to know today.

Daryl Twerdahl on NBC's Today Show with Matt Lauer

Former NBC Today Show host Matt Lauer introduced Miguel Almaguer who interviewed Daryl to talk about whether or not Civility was Dead. Her take is that people are more busy than ever, but should never be too busy to be polite and thankful.
