Mind Your Ps and Qs: Exploring Etiquette with Lucy Challenger, CEO of Polo & Tweed and a Master of Manners

Mind your manners. Be on your best behaviour.

Your mom had it right.

Etiquette is a code of conduct, a set of customs and courtesies that vary from culture to culture. Sometimes the rules for behaviour are embedded in centuries of tradition, and some we are still trying to sort out as a society. If we don't follow these rules, especially while travelling, we can get ourselves into hot water.

In this episode, we delve deeper into the historical roots of etiquette and its role in modern day society with leading etiquette expert and CEO of Polo and Tweed, Lucy Challenger.

So let’s sharpen our social graces and pursue our passion for protocol as we explore the mannerly matter of etiquette.
