July 2010 Children’s Etiquette Training

 

Our summer Children's Etiquette Training Session was a huge success! A total of 13 children participated in our five day class. Peggy Newfield, our President, asked each child on the first day how many wanted to come to "etiquette lessons". Seven children said they were "strongly encouraged" to participate.The children were asked that same question during their last day in class. It was unanimous!!! All 13 wanted to know if they could sign up for next summer's class. Isn't it amazing how quickly we change our minds!

Vicki Bauer on Katie, Social Media

 

 

 

 

 

 

 As a newly retired school principal, I thank you for providing up to date, state of the art teaching materials for your ASP graduates. Katie explained the technical complexities of social media in such a way that one automatically felt at ease.  Her knowledge and expertise with all avenues of social media makes one realize how important and vital it is for someone just starting out in business.

Mary Lindsay on Our Five Course Dinner

 

Brenda and Sheyla created stunning dinner tablescapes for all of us to enjoy.  The children were blown away and mesmerized by the animal jungle that extended from one end of the 35 ft. table to the other end.  As a side benefit, the children enjoyed conversing about the decorations and massive flowers.  Joshua said the delicious food tasted even better sitting at such a beautiful table.

ASP Graduates – Teacher Accolades

Leslie Zimmerman on Carmen,

Communications Skills

Carmen, our communication specialist was such a big help.  She taught me the importance of engaging my audience with my facial expressions, tone of voice and improving my verbal skills.  My one-minute speeches stretched me a mile.  First, I must learn my material thoroughly so I can put all my new skills into play.

Sue Vernam on Dolores and Dining

“Hands on with the Children” is one of the most effective ways to learn.  Dolores made dining fun and she was so well informed.  During our dining sessions, our class laughed like children while learning how to use a fish fork and knife.  Dolores is the epitome of “Queen of Tips” on how to remember where all those forks and knives went and what their functions were.  Loved it!

Angela Davis on Martha, our chef


Martha’s culinary skills are phenomenal! Everyday, our continental breakfast (yum, those fresh baked pastries and fresh fruit) and lunch, which we all could hardly wait for, was prepared and seasoned perfectly. I had no idea the meals would be so fresh, healthy and delicious. I felt as if our class was dining in a five star restaurant each day.

Layne Sasser on Rebecca, CPR training

I have been anxious about taking a CPR class in the past and have avoided it.  Now that I am being certified to teach children, this teaching is a must.  Rebecca made this experience informative and easy to understand.  I loved working with those blue dummies.  I hope I never have to use my CPR skills, but I feel empowered if I am presented with an emergency situation.

ASP July Graduates – Teacher Accolades

 Felicia Layeni on our Founder

I chose ASP because Peggy was recommended by a number of etiquette experts as the absolute authority in this field.  A national leader in a group that I belong to attributed their success to Peggy and they were right.  Peggy’s leadership, strong curriculum and ongoing support have given me the solid foundation I need to teach and succeed.

Tina Chuang on Meeting Planning with Sheyla

Sheyla’s class was about helping us select where we wanted to have our five-course dinner and how to go about making all the arrangements.  In addition, she and her team made the most beautiful table arrangements everyday for the children’s dining classes.  Her tables were amazing!
