Teaching Modern Manners: Jennifer Daniel on Etiquette and Kindness

When Jennifer Daniel landed her first job after college, she quickly realized she didn’t quite know how to navigate the world of business meetings with confidence. That led her to the Protocol School of Washington and, eventually, to founding her own etiquette business, Polished Peyton Etiquette Essentials. For nearly 25 years, she’s been teaching children, young professionals, and executives the skills they need to succeed - with etiquette as a foundation for confidence and kindness.

"Etiquette seems like such an awful snobby word. And maybe long, long, long ago it was. I do not think it is now.”

Hear Jennifer talk about:

• How she found her way from a resort job to opening her own etiquette and protocol school
• The difference between etiquette and protocol, and why both matter in business and social life
• Why young professionals often struggle with communication in the age of smartphones
• How etiquette classes can build confidence and relational skills, not just table manners
• Why kindness is the most important rule of all

Mentioned in this episode:

• Polished Peyton Etiquette Essentials
