Scott A., Edmonton (Jan 13/10)
”I tried one of your great tips and it worked brilliantly. I met someone at a networking event and wanted to move on. I started with my usual, "I think I’d like to see what's going on over there …” when I remembered your tips. Eureka! I smiled and added “would you like to join me?”. The person said yes and I was amazed how smoothly that worked."
Julie K., Toronto (Oct 1/09)

Thanks to you, we had mock hosting sessions the next day at lunch. We definitely appreciate all your insights."
Allen T., Toronto (Mar 6/09)
"The Code of Conduct project you developed for us was amazing and the workshop you put together was thorough and interesting - and you kept it that way through so many deliveries!

"Linda, I'd like to share a comment with you from my husband. He read your training material from my session and noted how very well they were written! After 30 years in the military, he's no stranger to etiquette when it comes to formal dining. He's also not easily impressed. Thought you should know. Great job!"

"Extraordinary!!!! Linda, a pleasure working with you! We have received excellent feedback from our staff and for that we thank YOU!!!!"

Your knowledge of etiquette and dress and the way you interact with people on a very real level made us all feel comfortable. You understand what it's like to work in a large company so your training has teeth and goes beyond protocol basics given by others."
Lee M., Toronto (Mar 4/08)
"Your session on etiquette and dress was so informative and fun. I loved the tips you shared for building a wardrobe for business. I understand business dress codes much better now. Everything you said about body image and self-esteem... going for brains over beauty... was spot on and empowering!"
Nalini R., Hamilton (Feb 29/08)
"You developed an excellent etiquette program for our group, Linda. Glad we included function etiquette and your unique live lab. The techniques you shared mean we'll attend functions with greater success... loved your tips for mingling, small talk, and cocktail food etiquette."

Brad D., Toronto (Oct 2/07)
"Linda, you always have such great information to share. This was the third etiquette session in our training program with you and I've looked forward to every one. Today's dress session was outstanding."
