There’s a story I love to share in my Reach for the Stars ATX workshops. It may or may not have actually happened, but it should  have because, to me, it’s the perfect example of what true class looks like. More than anything, I hope my students take this lesson with them long after our time together: that kindness and grace will always matter more than knowing and following every rule. The story goes like this: Queen Victoria once hosted an African king at a formal royal din

Here in the Hill Country, our manners and etiquette are humble and unassuming, centered around graciousness, consideration, and hospitality.

"Intentional and focused learning on what truly matters can make all the difference. It takes a village, and I'm proud to be a part of it."

Manners and etiquette might seem outdated—but in this modern world, they’re more important than ever.
