Young Leaders Fall Intensive – 3-Session Enhanced Boot Camp
Telling my boys they were headed to ‘manners bootcamp’ was met with the resistance any mother might imagine. However, they left their first session with big smiles, having had fun and met new friends! Lisa’s style is a modern take on old-fashioned manners: proper but not stuffy, youthful and engaging. She has a lovely sense of humor and makes things fun while teaching traditional etiquette.
Equip Your Child with Social Confidence That Lasts a Lifetime.
This isn’t your typical weekend program. It’s an intensive 3-session boot camp that builds the social intelligence, communication skills, and leadership foundation children need to navigate life with confidence. Offered on three Sunday mornings this fall, each session combines immersive practice and real-world scenarios to develop essential abilities that serve them everywhere: making friends, handling challenges, speaking with adults, and presenting themselves with genuine poise.
Our boot camp format creates rapid skill-building while instilling respect for themselves and others, authentic connection, and the self-assurance to thrive in any social setting. Your child will leave equipped to move forward successfully in school and beyond, with stronger communication, natural leadership, social grace, and the foundation to express gratitude and make others feel truly valued. The program culminates with an optional dining program on Tuesday, October 13th at 5:30pm.

Good Manners, Great Success – Private Group Classes
I wanted to thank you for a wonderful class today! The kids learned so much and were excited to demonstrate their new knowledge at dinner tonight. Sam pulled out the chair for my mom, and he and his sister were so well mannered that an older man at the country club stopped by the table to complement the children’s manners/behavior which of course has NEVER happened before. We’re so grateful!

Social Intelligence Right from the Start
Lisa’s programs provide kids with the social intelligence to feel comfortable and confident in every situation. By acquiring and practicing these indispensable life tools, students learn to tune in — experiencing improved awareness of themselves and their surroundings, strengthening relationships with family and peers, and increasing their self‑esteem both at home and at school.”
“The students I spoke with couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed the evening and how much they enjoyed having a professional like you come to campus to share your knowledge. Phenomenal as always!”
“A modern take on old fashioned manners. Lisa’s approach is youthful and evolved, yet still produces results that would gain the stamp of approval from grandparents. Her lovely sense of humor makes things fun and engaging, all while teaching traditional etiquette. We have participated in her ‘Manners Bootcamp,’ Cotillion program, Virtual Dining Etiquette dinners, and individual instruction to cultivate conversational skills. Our experience has been wonderful!”
“My daughter attended your ‘Standout Interviews’ class and really enjoyed it. She did a great job on her interviews in part, we believe, because of your class, and got accepted to Polytechnic, Marlborough, and Harvard-Westlake, where she will attend in the fall. Thank you again for your great class.”
“After a sleepover, the mother of my son’s friend was so impressed. She went on and on about what a gentleman our eight-year-old was. He sat up straight, used utensils like an adult, and said ‘please’ and ‘thank you‘ all the time. Thank you for partnering with families to teach the importance of manners to live a more gracious and thoughtful life.”
