HOW DID YOU GET STARTED?
Etiquette for Today (dba Bridges School of Protocol) has been a part of the Denver, Colorado community for over ten years. Founding Member Mimi McCroskey is an etiquette consultant who launched Etiquette for Today after designing and delivering a popular Children's Manners Workshop series for Denver Public Schools. Afternoon Tea with Ms. Mimi was funded by an arts grant from Lights on After School, and developed in collaboration between Mimi McCroskey and licensed educators Daphne Hunter, Fran West and Mary Latson.
Mimi received an award from Community Resources INC for delivering 50 classroom presentations in Denver Public Schools for Grades K-8. Bridges School of Protocol was later added to deliver comprehensive etiquette education that helps people develop effective interpersonal communication skills in both their personal and business lives. This knowledge is not included in academic curriculum, even though studies show that 85% of career success and life balance depends on having "people skills" in addition to academic qualifications and technical ability. We transfer knowledge of etiquette, (which is a name for social codes) and deliver training in foundational social skills to equip people of all ages with skills to develop lifelong effective behavior and communication skills. Mimi McCroskey is a Colorado native. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Government, and is a former collegiate Varsity athlete. She received a Four Year Award for Women's Varsity Tennis. She brings her background in coaching, psychology and curriculum design to her career as an etiquette specialist. |
