Refine Etiquette | Modern Day Finishing School
For the woman who has built the life and wants to move through it with ease
Some women have already built the life. The work now is different.
It is in the ease with which she enters a gathering where she knows no one. The way she is dressed for a city she has not visited before. The pause before she answers, which tells people she is not anxious to be agreed with. The quiet certainty of a woman who knows the code and no longer thinks about it.
This is not instruction in how to behave. It is access to the codes that govern the settings you already occupy.
You have built a career, a business or a life you are proud of, and you have noticed that the confidence which carried you here does not always carry you through what comes next. The invitations have changed. The company has changed. You want the way you move through it all to feel as considered as everything else you have built.
Four areas, across two Saturday sessions.
What etiquette now asks of a woman who moves between cultures and cities. Introductions and precedence, the first seconds of an encounter, conversation that opens doors rather than fills silence, and how the code shifts between New York, Lagos, London and Nairobi.
Presence is not volume. We work on poise, on the discipline of composure, on the charm that draws people towards you without effort, and on the character beneath the polish that makes it hold.
Your appearance speaks on your behalf before you do. Fit, quality and care. What quietly diminishes you. Knowing what flatters you, choosing your colours, and building a signature style that is recognisably yours.
Reading a table with confidence, conducting yourself beautifully as a guest, and designing gatherings that are remembered long after the last guest has gone.

I am an accredited international etiquette and executive brand advisor, and the founder of Refine Etiquette, a modern day finishing school.
I spent two decades in corporate affairs, advising chief executives and sitting at tables where the standard in the setting mattered as much as the numbers on the page. I have taught this programme to cohorts of women across three continents.
Etiquette is a tool. Refinement is who you become.
Women on the waitlist hear first when enrolment opens on Monday 21 September, and reserve their place at the founding rate.
