Dear Lena, I wanted to thank you for all of the important details you imparted to our team last night. The managers took away some very useful tips. I have to say that I enjoyed observing you demonstrating good etiquette at the dinner table and making it appear so seamless.  It really was a pleasure.  Many thanks.

It was a pleasure working with Lena on the Four Seasons marketing campaign. Lena's knowledge of hospitality and the luxury market helped ensure an experience of elevated elegance for our brand and our clients.

I initially met Lena in her capacity as the president of her business school's alumni association, being impressed with her acumen, insights and facilitation skills, I invited her to teach a post graduate course at Parsons School of Design on professional design practice, creative team dynamics and leadership. Lena went beyond this brief to collaborate on the redevelopment of the course and assisted very significantly in convening and moderating a successful series of panel discussions. Across her teaching, preparation of materials and through her moderation and public presentation work, Lena exemplifies a high level of organization, poise, attention to detail, care and commitment to each project.

Dear Lena, Thank you for the Outclass the Competition seminar you expertly presented to my peer educators this semester. I was very impressed by how you tailored the content and discussion style to best serve the students' needs. They loved the practical insider etiquette tips on joining an active conversation during networking opportunities, especially when they practiced these skills through role playing exercises. I appreciated your poised enthusiasm and energy that kept the students engaged throughout the training, and how you made yourself available afterwards to address each of their individual questions. It is my absolute pleasure to recommend you and Gramercy Protocol for superior business etiquette education. On behalf of Rutgers-Newark's Health Promotion Division of Health Services, thanks again for this fun, enriching and professional experience.

I can't think of anyone better qualified than Lena Koropey to teach Business Etiquette and Protocol. Her MBA and professional experience working with premium brands informs her understanding of why etiquette skills are so crucial for executive level success. Her training and experience as an etiquette and protocol consultant uniquely positions her to translate that understanding of why into the refined and encompassing knowledge of how. Lena Koropey offers her clients the rarest of qualifications; she is, without doubt, the best of both worlds.

Dear Lena, Thank you for making this event a huge success. Everyone loved the way you provided insights and pointed out the little things that matter the most. I have attended several resume writing workshops in the past, but this was way more relevant - specific and hands on. Needless to say that you are an amazing presenter and you kept the audience engaged throughout the session. Thank you for sharing all this material with us. I sincerely appreciate this. Very helpful.
