I wanted to become more cultured, more sharp, more fabulous, and as the French so aptly put it, I wanted to become indefinable, to have an elusive quality, and especially a pleasing one. I wanted to be the lady that others say: “She has a certain je ne sais quoi that charms everybody.” That is what Gloria is and that’s what Gloria does for you. Gloria is the epitome of je ne sais quoi and when you take her training you will have that, too. Thank you, Gloria.

I have taken many classes, driven many miles, and spent thousands of dollars before I met and trained with Ms. Gloria Starr. In the time I spent with her she out of all the others poured out her 25+ years of this business into my heart and head the skills I needed to do the business. She not only taught and educated me on how to do the business but how to run a successful business. She truly teaches full out and full circle. It’s not enough to know your material (which is crucial) because knowledge is powerful you must know how to market yourself, your business, and this opportunity. Thank you Ms. Gloria you truly are the expert.
Kenya Dennis
Dear Gloria, May I start by thanking you for a wonderful and life changing week of training, for your generosity in sharing your expertise and for being you, whom I simply adore. It is not very often that I meet someone who really inspires me with every word and every movement. Any student of yours who implements even half of what you taught will be a great success. Knowledge and good values are the quickest and safest path to success. Your Image and Etiquette Certification training encapsulates all of the strategies that are required to excel as an image and etiquette consultant and to present one’s self at his or her best. In this life changing training, I learned how to achieve maximum effectiveness and to aim for excellence in all aspects of my life. From the moment I registered for your training, my learning started. Your knowledge, integrity and determination to make every student their professional best was like a life force that brought out all of the good in me and challenged me to grow out of my old self and become the person I was destined to be. Thank you for showing me how to bring forth my best, for giving me so much more than I expected and for just being you – beautiful, excellent and a great coach and the leader in your industry!

Apart from your expertise in manners/etiquette you seem very glowing person radiating positive energy.

Destiny’s Child
I am delighted to have the opportunity to provide you with testament to the proven talents and contributions that Ms. Gloria Starr has provided to me and to our company. Ms. Starr is a consummate professional that delivers high-energy, content-rich programs. She is completely reliable and has been a pleasure to work with on several occasions. Engaging Ms. Starr’s talents and reputation has been one of the most lucrative decisions we have made. We continue to see the benefits through management confidence and a huge improvement in our communication skills among the leadership. We are grateful and fortunate to have had Ms. Starr’s expertise provide us with the tools and understanding we demand. Her Executive Presence and Leadership training have been invaluable to our company success. There are numerous professionals that claim to be an expert in Etiquette and Communication skills, but none that posses the depth, breath and wide spread knowledge of communication, professionalism, etiquette, and training skills as Ms. Starr. Based on my extensive experience in the information technology industry and my exposure to the work of the top communicators, speakers, and trainers none in my opinion can out perform or demonstrate a return on investment as we have with Ms. Starr. It is my considered opinion that Ms. Starr is among the top 20 speakers and trainers in the industry today. Through my research, there is no doubt that Ms. Starr is of a very small percentage of people that have reached the very top of the field.

Ms. Starr’s assessments are fast, concise, and right on the money. If you’re involved in the world of non-profit, where donor relations are a priority, the information gleamed from this DiSC assessment is indispensable. Gaining insight into your own behavioral style is the best way to relate to the styles of your donors and to help them find the right match for their contributions. PR and development directors take note – self knowledge builds better donor relations and that means larger gifts. Take advantage of this program NOW!
Jeff Walker
Director of Public Relations, Bethesda Home for Boys
The feedback is nothing short of exceptional! Here are a few of the comments. WOW, I can’t believe anyone could do a better job than Gloria. Excellent training.

When I requested your assistance with an employee’s executive finishing school, I expected you to be top-notch (based on your stellar reputation) but you managed to exceed my already high expectations. You are a remarkably talented and savvy business woman with whom I enjoy working, especially because you understand business, know the criticalness of developing employees into ambassadors for themselves and their organization, and are so pleasant. I appreciated your extreme diplomacy in relaying information to your client that they may not be ready to hear about the changes they need to make, and your ability to persuade them to make the necessary changes was remarkable.
