School of Etiquette and Protocol

What is a personal brand and why does it matter?

 

For corporations, the goal of product branding is to capture the attention of their target market, and above all, forge a lasting and trusting relationship with them. The same can be said for your personal brand. Only the 'product' is YOU and your 'targets' are the individuals and experiences you wish to attract in life.
 

Your brand is comprised of the image and reputation you present to the world, and encompasses your values, beliefs, skills, and personality traits.

  

In the context of manners and etiquette, a strong personal brand is a dynamic force that can open doors in life, as it plays directly into how you are perceived and how others feel about their experiences with you.

 

Demonstrating good manners and etiquette is a form of polishing your brand while leaving a positive impression on others. This leads to increased opportunities, better relationships, and better overall success in your personal and professional endeavors.

Modern Manners: 
The Secret Ingredient for Success  

 

At Modern Manner we believe that elegance, kindness and a positive mindset  serve as a bridge to the lost art of authentic living, a concept often overshadowed by our social media-driven lifestyles.  The yearning for connection and meaning remains constant, yet is often unfulfilled in many of our lives. At Modern Manner we're dedicated to guiding you toward cultivating meaningful relationships and aligning your personal brand with your desired experiences and connections. 

 

While some may view manners as merely adhering to dress codes and table settings, the essence of modern etiquette lies in becoming the best version of oneself and witnessing the positive transformations in your life that result. Whether it is through simple gestures like saying please and thank you, holding open a door, or maintaining good eye contact with grace and elegance, practicing modern etiquette showcases consideration and thoughtfulness towards oneself and others.

 

 Imagine the potential for a better world if everyone embraced such values.
