Why we are here and how we came to be..
Our Mission
Social Essence - The School of Etiquette, Leadership and Image Development was founded in 2003 during spring break at the Del Coronado in San Diego, California.
The definition of Social Essence is at the heart of our mission and has been since inception: Social – to fit for companionship with others & Essence – the qualities that give identity; the most important or effectual ingredient; crucial element; most desirable properties in concentrated form.
Thus we help our clients develop great first and lasting impressions… How to Manage Their Personal Brand (or Social Essence) with Poise, Presence, and Polish.
Our goal is to provide the highest quality training in contemporary social skills and business protocol while promoting one’s individual excellence. Specific courses in our Adult and Youth Culture Programs are designed to meet the needs of corporations, businesses, schools, organizations, and individuals of all ages.
We especially recognize the value of individual excellence in our young people. Social Essence is devoted to the promotion and development of poise, confidence, and a higher level of standards.
