My promise
Business & Workplace Etiquette: The Polished Manners Promise
My business and workplace etiquette and professional manners training is warm, practical, and tailored to your real-world challenges. Whether you are preparing for a promotion, representing your organisation, or stepping into a new market, Polished Manners provides UK business etiquette and professional manners coaching that supports your confidence, credibility, and career. Here is my three-step approach:
1
Understand your goals and workplace culture
We begin with a consultation to understand your role, sector, and specific etiquette and communication challenges, whether that is office etiquette, business email etiquette, networking, or client hospitality. I then tailor your business etiquette course to your goals, experience, and organisational culture.
2
Learn through practical, real-life examples
Using real business scenarios, role-play, and discussion, you will gain a broad understanding of UK business etiquette expectations. We cover workplace etiquette, office manners and etiquette, professional appearance, meeting etiquette, and business etiquette in communication, both in person and online.
3
Apply your skills with confidence
You will leave with clear tools you can use immediately in meetings, networking events, emails, video calls, and business dining situations. Each course includes review notes and a certificate of completion so you can track progress and demonstrate your commitment to professionalism and etiquette.

Why business & professional etiquette matters
Business & Professional Etiquette to Boost Your Career
Business relationships are built on communication. Every contact you make with a client, colleague, or partner is an opportunity to strengthen trust, build your reputation, and advance your career. As such, miscommunication, poor workplace etiquette, or a lack of professional manners can have a highly negative impact on business. It can also be hard to undo.
Polished Manners’ business and professional etiquette training helps you project calm confidence, handle conversations with tact, and put others at ease, even in complex or contentious situations. My etiquette for business courses help you refine how you speak, write, listen, and present yourself, so you can build stronger business relationships, collaborate more effectively, and create a lasting, positive impression in every professional interaction.

I left the course very confident and well informed.
I attended the Polished Effects Course for Ladies in April 2022. It was very comprehensive, thorough and well rounded. The quality and delivery of the teaching was excellent, concise and clear; even moreso with PowerPoint presentations, real life demonstrations and props. I liked the fact that it was interactive and as a student, I was able to practice some of the lessons with observations from the tutor which were also recorded and forwarded later to me for future reference. I left the course very confident and well informed not just about proper etiquette practices but the valid reasons behind each one. It was a full day and money well spent, and I would recommend to everyone as a major self development goal. Thank you Laura!

It is worth the investment!
I was at the event hosted by Polished Manners and it was amazing. We were given a plethora of information and we were provided with additional notes so we didnt miss out on anything. The way Ms Laura Akano explained everything was very easy to digest in a warm environment amongst other kind women. I felt free to ask questions, and I can say it is worth the investment!
