Speaker: Anthonette Klinkerman (Colonel Klinkerman)
CEO Chief Etiquette Officer
On a personal note, I saw this program in 2012. It’s the best presentation I’ve ever experienced!
Program Description: Courtesy BootcampTM is a crash course in courtesy for inner-office and staff personnel. When the work environment becomes hostile due to one or more employees behaving without courtesy towards others, a business stands to suffer increased absenteeism, lost productivity, and increased healthcare costs. United States businesses alone lose over $300 billion a year due to such employee behaviors, but this reminder that those we work with are just as important as those we work for can help solve these problems.
Our speaker believes we can all learn how to revive those common courtesies that are becoming all too uncommon.
“Colonel” Klinkerman is the CEO, Chief Etiquette Officer, of Courtesy BootcampTM, and author of the book, Courtesy BootcampTM – a not-so-gentle reminder to live by The Golden Rule. She will be sharing some common courtesy reminders that will help make our lives, as well as the lives of others around us, easier. Whether at home or at work, or just out and about, these reminders will help us create the “kinder, gentler nation” a president suggested we become a couple of decades ago.
Courtesy BootcampTM gained national attention in May 2010 when one of the “Colonel’s” clients took a Best of the Best Award in a Human Resources division, and was the only Colorado facility recognized.
