LECTURES for GRADUATE and UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
"I am often asked if etiquette and good manners are a thing of past. Manners are fluent and have changed with time, but are as relevant as ever. For example, instead of letter etiquette we now talk about netiquette, and focus on email, text and social media etiquette. Networking in-person is just as important as connecting on LinkedIn, and email is often our first impression on a potential employer." Snezana Pejic, Program Director

TESTIMONIALS
“Ms. Pejic has presented to our Special Program in Law students for two years now. We have been incredibly impressed both times by her wealth of expertise surrounding dining, dress, and social media etiquette that will be crucial for our students to know in their future legal careers. Ms. Pejic also did an incredible balancing professionalism with humor to keep her audience fully engaged for three hours. The students voiced very positive feedback after she left and we have since observed them coaching their peers on everything from the correct side on which to wear a nametag to what constitutes business formal attire for both men and women. We will without a doubt be inviting Ms. Pejic back next year to present as well.”
