About Etiquette Coaching
What Etiquette Means to Me
I don’t see etiquette as following strict rules or being perfect. For me, it’s all about being graceful and kind - making people around you feel comfortable and respected. You don’t need to be flawless. If someone spills something, just smile and let it go. Real manners are about showing empathy, not pointing out mistakes.
Handling Social Moments
Social gatherings can get tricky. I always say, peer pressure isn’t cool, and pushing someone isn’t fun for anyone. If your friend wants a mocktail, let them be. Someone on a diet? Don’t nudge them to eat. Got a shy friend? No need to make them sing or dance. The point is, let everyone enjoy in their own way. Respectful social interactions matter more than any party trick.
Sensitive Situations
Places like hospitals need extra gentleness. I’ve been there myself. Instead of asking personal questions, I just offer a quiet smile or a small distraction. Sometimes, kindness is silent.
Food and Cultural Customs
When it comes to dining, I’m all about context. I eat masala dosa with my hands - no shame in that! Cultural dining manners are different everywhere. Using chopsticks for sushi or a fork for steak? Fine by me. If you’re hosting, pick a menu that makes your expectations easy for guests.
Straight from the Heart
Etiquette is really just kindness, being mindful, and letting people be themselves. That’s how I do things.

My Story
Hey, Sapna here! My pals call my wild ideas 'hairbrained schemes' – sometimes it’s geek chic, sometimes retro Bollywood, always a blast. Once, a stranger snapped pics of me at a wedding, now we’re besties! I’m all about cats, dogs, and festive madness with my husky. I rock my silver hair, call myself the silver queen, and believe in just being real. Forty years of dancing with my bestie – joy and fun, that’s me.
