How to Have the Manners and Charm of a Proper English Gentleman

The British just seem like a classier bunch. Part of it is that winning accent. But it's also because English culture has long been steeped in the tradition of learning and practicing etiquette. Here to share some of the essentials of modern etiquette that are important no matter which side of the pond you live on is William Hanson, a British etiquette expert and the author of Just Good Manners. William shares the difference between manners and etiquette, and why young people are especially interested in both. He then takes us through how to introduce yourself and others, the history behind the "no elbows on the table" mantra, the rules of small talk, some overlooked guidelines for table manners, how to enter a conversational circle at a party, considerations for elevator etiquette, and much more. Whether you're dining at a fancy restaurant or just want to navigate social situations with more confidence, William's insights will help you present yourself with the panache of a proper English gentleman.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #897: Answers to the FAQ of Modern EtiquetteAoM Podcast #422: Men & Manners — Tipping, Emojis, and Much MoreAoM Article: The Importance of Good MannersAoM Article: How to Acquire Good MannersAoM Article: A Man’s Guide to Dining Etiquette and Proper Table MannersAoM Article: How to Make Introductions Like a GentlemanAoM Article: How to Make Small TalkAoM's Complete Guide to Giving a Great HandshakeConnect With William HansonWilliam's websiteWilliam on TikTokWilliam on IG
