Meet Kentucky's very own Etiquette Lady, etiquette consultant. Inspired by Mary Poppins, Valarie has created the whimsical character the Etiquette Lady to catch the attention of students of all ages.
Valarie Roberts, after experiencing an embarrassment in a 4-star Las Vegas restaurant, made the decision this would never happen to her again. Determined to learn more, Valarie traveled to Washington D.C. where she earned certifications in business, social, and dining etiquette from The Lett Group at Georgetown University. She received a second certification in 2017 from the Etiquette Institute in St. Louis, MO.
The Good Manners Club, LLC is a private club that offers training and certification in children, teen, business, social, and dining etiquette. After completing a series of classes, student graduate to become an Etiquetteketeer, official member of the club.
After completing a 2-day training, adults become an "Etiquette Lady". Being an Etiquetteketeer gives you membership into a club where you will be able to refer to the Etiquette Lady for any etiquette questions you may have as you navigate through your social life. Being and Etiquette Lady gives you a license to use the Etiquette Lady title and her lesson plans while teaching your own future Etiquetteketeers. The Good Manners Club teaching Etiquetteketeers is meant to be magical learning experience just as The Mickey Mouse Club was to the Mouseketeers.
