Would you like for your child or teenager to feel confident and self-assured in a social situation? Red Stick Refinement is the answer. Red Stick Refinement offers etiquette classes for both children and adults; even business etiquette for your adult employees. I offer both group classes and private instruction. Topics include: eye contact, the importance of a firm handshake, proper introductions, posture, conversation skills, online etiquette, table manners and how to write a thank-you note.
Hi, my name is April Palombo Setliff and I am the Founder of Red Stick Refinement, LLC. I present etiquette as a code of behavior based on consideration and thoughtfulness of others.
Having good manners is far more than knowing which fork to use or what is not appropriate to post on Instagram. It's a practice of respecting others, putting others before ourselves and having a self-awareness to make others around us feel comfortable. The purpose of Red Stick Refinement is to educate students on the manners of today's modern world and preserve those etiquettes which are timeless.
In January 2019 I was trained and certified by the American Academy of Etiquette in New York City as an etiquette instructor.
