All seminars are formatted after a Confucius saying...
What I hear, I forget;
All seminars are expert-led by yours truly Syndi Seid, this seminar will not be filled with information that goes in one ear and out the other.
What I see, I remember;
Each course flows through a series of multimedia computer- generated visuals to reinforce content; And, is accompanied by a comprehensive Action Guide, which is nearly a transcript of the entire course.
What I do, I understand.
We understand, when Confucius also said: "Old habits are hard to die, especially if you like them." As a result, we have purposely designed continuous interactive discussions and activities, as our way to practice, and make into habit, all new skills to continue practicing at home.

A "Parent add-on" to attend the "Good Manners and Dining Etiquette" with their Youth or Teen participant
In this combined 3-hour seminar among youths and teens, parents are highly encouraged to attend and participate with their child/children. Parents gain skills for themselves and become better informed on how to practice and reinforce skills at home for the entire family. This seminar gives everyone greater confidence and awareness of the vital skills discussed in the Youth Good Manners and Dining Etiquette seminar.
A special discount is provided as an incentive for parents to attend. After all, a parent typically drops off and picks up the child anyway. Why not stay to master crucial skills for your personal and professional development and enjoy the tutorial lunch to gain extra tips on reinforcing skills at home?
