Modern Etiquette and Social Confidence

We all have those moments. Trying to introduce someone whose name you’ve forgotten. Not knowing how much to ‘be yourself’ in a job interview. Needing to leave a room but not knowing how. Modern Etiquette and Social Confidence is William Hanson’s guide to handling those moments with ease – whatever they look like for you.

This isn’t about memorising rules or behaving impeccably at a banquet. It’s about building the instincts that let you walk into any situation – a first meeting, a networking event, a difficult conversation – and feel completely at ease. William will show you how to make a strong first impression, read a room, introduce yourself and others, and navigate the unexpected, so you can focus on the moment rather than second-guess yourself through it.

Your Maestro is William Hanson, Executive Director of The English Manner, the etiquette and protocol coaching company. He is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller Just Good Manners and co-host of Help I Sexted My Boss – one of Britain’s biggest podcasts. With two decades of experience coaching individuals, businesses and royal households, William’s approach is warm, witty and entirely without judgement. His core belief: good manners aren’t about showing off – they’re about making everyone around you feel at ease including, most importantly, you.
