LEADING A NEW ERA OF ETIQUETTE
FORMERLY KNOWN AS “OLD SOUL ETIQUETTE”
For me, etiquette is far more than knowing which fork to use. It is the art of social awareness, emotional intelligence, and personal empowerment. I believe that when we understand how to navigate social and professional spaces with intention, we free ourselves to share our gifts with clarity, confidence, and grace.
My approach is warm, modern, and rooted in a deep respect for this timeless discipline. I guide my clients through the nuances of social and professional settings, helping them move through every interaction with ease, kindness, and intention. To me, true polish is not about perfection. It is about presence, awareness, and authenticity.
Through bespoke consultations, corporate trainings, and engaging keynotes, I equip individuals and organizations with the tools to present themselves thoughtfully and powerfully, ensuring their presence reflects the depth of their talent.
I truly believe etiquette is far more than a set of rules, but rather a set of tools to help people shine with confidence, form strong connections, and distinguish themselves.

“The lessons and information taught by Mariah throughout the sessions were easy to incorporate into our daily business practices and immediate improvements followed.”
“My company participated in four professional development training sessions with Mariah. While planning the sessions. Mariah went above and beyond to understand our goals for our business, our employees, and our relationships with our clients. These sessions were just what our team needed to help us refocus and re-energize our professional presence after a year or two of a more Covid-casual environment. The lessons and information taught by Mariah throughout the sessions were easy to incorporate into our daily business practices and immediate improvements followed. Throughout the sessions. Mariah illustrated that the foundations of good manners and traditional business practices do not equate to coldness. Mariah equipped us with tools to be more confident and comfortable in our interactions with and with that reassurance came a more natural warmth across our employees.”

“Even the more reluctant attendees came forward to ask follow-up questions during Q and A time which is a real sign of value."
"Mariah's presentation for our school faculty was incredibly interesting, helpful, and well-received. Even the more reluctant attendees came forward to ask follow-up questions during Q and A time which is a real sign of value. Afterwards, employees stayed past their contract hours to discuss ways we can better incorporate her ideas and guidelines moving forward. One employee took copious notes and shared with the staff the next day. Another employee remarked how he is interested in signing his daughter up for a class!
I think it was very helpful to hear about manners in a business setting now we can move forward using these as our expectations for communication and interactions with each other and our clients (students and parents) so that we can provide a better customer experience, and having. Mariah present the information makes it less like a boss chastising employees for their manners and much more palatable for the receivers. I think that everyone can use a reminder of polite habits we may have forgotten, and even our more polite employees learned some new tricks from the presentation. I would definitely recommend you invite Mariah to your company to offer etiquette support!"
