The Academy

The standards nobody sat you down to teach.

A finishing school for the modern professional. Etiquette, correspondence, calendar craft and executive presence, taught the way a senior operator learned them. Begin with a complimentary primer and go as far as you care to.

Short, exacting lessons on the standards nobody sat you down to teach. Take one, keep it, and pass it to your team.

    Introductions, titles, gratitude and the grace of a timely reply.

    Subject lines, salutations, brevity and when the phone is kinder.

  • The working from home standard

Bringing a team rather than yourself?

Every course can be taught privately to an assistant, an operations team or a small press staff, adapted to the way your house already works.
