January often encourages dramatic change and bold promises.

In this episode of Manners and Other Matters, Louise explores a quieter, more refined approach to New Year’s resolutions.

Rather than focusing on fitness, food or self-reinvention, Louise reframes confidence as something built through manners, etiquette and thoughtful communication. She answers the real questions women ask when they hesitate at the idea of a “manners course”, addressing misconceptions with warmth, clarity and modern relevance.

This episode is for people who manage well on the outside but seek greater ease, presence and confidence in everyday life, both socially and professionally. A calm, practical conversation about refinement, reassurance and showing up with quiet confidence in the year ahead.

If the thought of hosting fills you with anxiety rather than anticipation, this episode is for you.

In From Panic to Poise, Hosting with Confidence, Louise Percy gently unpacks why entertaining so often feels overwhelming and how, with thoughtful planning and a shift in mindset, it can once again become a joy.

Drawing on her own experience hosting a milestone birthday luncheon for forty guests, Louise shares practical wisdom, elegant reassurance and a failsafe event planning checklist developed over more than 30 years.

This episode is an invitation to let go of perfection, embrace preparation and host with warmth, presence and quiet confidence.
