Wisdom and Eloquence

We all have a tendency to avoid situations we find uncomfortable, but the truth of life is that we’ll end up facing them at some time or another. Whether it’s dealing with difficult relatives, chatting with strangers at a party, or finding yourself in the middle of a contentious conversation, we’ll talk about how to handle all kinds of social situations with grace, tact, and a winsome attitude. Along the way, we’ll talk about some of the classic rules of etiquette and how they apply to our world today.
