Presence, polish or people skills... what's missing?
Are you the manager who wishes onboarding didn't eat up half of your week? The sales leader who knows stronger personal branding could close more deals? The business owner tired of reminding your team that how they show up IS your brand? The high school adminastrator who wants students to graduate with more than just a degree? Or maybe you're a parent who knows your middle-schooler needs the kind of soft skills that no textbook is teaching.

how I can help
Etiquette training shouldn't feel like Saturday school detention (cue scenes from The Breakfast Club). My sessions cut out the judgement and micromanaging and focus on skills everyone can use. The goal isn't to police behavior, it's to give people the confidence to show up well and the awareness to make others feel comfortable. When it's framed that way, participants don't just sit through the training, they actually lean in and enjoy it.
My forte has always been presence and communication-skills I mastered long before I even started teaching them. As a professional actor, I had to sell myself in seconds at an audition and then again to a live audience every night. It wasn't about perfect lines; it was about energy, connection and making people believe in me. That's where I learned the real power of personal branding and presence. Now, I get to teach others how to show up with that same kind of confidence and impact.
My training is fully customizable, interactive, and designed to meet people where they are. I use real-world activities, stories and a little humor to make skills like presence, confidence, and connection feel practical and approachable. Whether it's for a group of students, a corporate team, or an individual looking to sharpen their edge, every session is tailored to the goals in front of me. The end result? People walk away with skills they can actually use and a little more confidence in how they show up.
topics that I
cover
let's dive deeper
From building a personal brand that actually sticks to navigating tough conversations and leading with confidence, my modules cover the people skills that open doors and set you apart.
I offer
in-person training
Whether you're looking for a focused session or a series that builds over time, I'd love to bring this work to your group in person. Every training is interactive, tailored, and designed to give people skills they can actually use the moment they walk out the door.
virtual training
or perhaps...
If your team is spread out across locations, or if you'd like one-on-one coaching but we're miles apart, virtual sessions make it easy. It's the same interactive, tailored approach, just through a screen.
hello there.
I'm presilah
I believe etiquette isn't about old rules, it's about showing up with confidence, clarity and kindness. With a background in professional performance and years of small business experience, I've created a modern etiquette program that helps people of all ages communicate with more purpose and presence-in boardrooms, classrooms and beyond.
