I'm Alison.  I happily help organizations and people just like you become the most poised, confident, and effective versions of themselves through teaching modern manners and international protocol, among other important soft skills.

This site is devoted to sharing my passion for etiquette and helping you polish your presence,  Join me as I share what I've learned about competition, grace, and positive impact from my experience as a former ice dancer, television news anchor, lawyer, White House staff, and non-profit executive and now entrepreneur along with my formal etiquette training. 

Here you will find information about one-on-one and group coaching offerings, speaking and consulting services, as well as my musings on manners and life.  I'm delighted you're here!
