Sharon with Heather Biagas and Students from Austin Community College at Hilton Austin Hotel.

“One of our faculty members had seen Sharon present an International Protocol & Dining Etiquette Overview and thought she was outstanding. Therefore the department brought Sharon in to work with our student chefs and servers. This went so well that we asked Sharon to act as a temporary adjunct professor of our International Meeting & Convention course. Sharon uses enjoyable interactive exercises and a hands-on approach in class and answers tough questions with humor. Our most recent Dining Tutorial at the Hilton Austin was the best yet, and the written student feedback indicated their confidence level increased an average of 90%! I highly recommend Sharon as an etiquette expert.” Heather BiagasAssistant Professor, Programs of Hospitality Management,Meeting & Event Planning, Travel & TourismAustin Community College

Sharon with CBS College Football Sports Analyst and Former University of Texas Longhorn Football Star Brian Jones, at his Annual Boys & Girls Clubs Etiquette Dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

“For the past five years, Sharon has conducted etiquette training for my Boys & Girls Club Kid’s Dinner sponsored by Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. The event leads up to my Celebrity golf tournament. The techniques Sharon utilizes are entertaining, which keeps the kids engaged. What I enjoy is the ongoing Q&A between Sharon and the kids once dinner is served. It assures me that the protocol she has outlined is resonating. I must admit, I’m forced to be on my p’s and q’s. Sharon is very professional and yet not overbearing in laying the foundation for proper etiquette and manners in a formal setting. It has been an extreme joy to partner with her in this endeavor.” Brian JonesCollege Football Analyst, CBSAustin, Texas

Away For Women

“I came to know Sharon as part of a delegation of nationwide women traveling to North Africa. The reading list she circulated made a major difference in our cultural understanding of the trip. For our tour of India, she once again acquainted our group in advance of cultural aspects such as appropriate clothing, mannerisms, greetings and gifts. I was wowed by her enthusiasm and professionalism before I met her. And when you do meet her, she is gracious and engaging – of course, she is a protocol expert! However, it is her training as an attorney that gives her added depth, and the greatest of respect from her peers. I have since enjoyed several professional engagements with her, including her lead in coordinating a meeting for me with the Moroccan Ambassador to the United Nations.” Allison O’Sullivan Founder & Former Owner, Away For WomenMorristown, New Jersey
