“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” Matthew 7:12
Let’s face it, the Kardashians aren’t famous for their winning personalities, and their millions of followers aren’t subscribed to see if Kris Jenner has taught all her children the correct table manners (although, seeing Kendall handle that knife was quite concerning). If we know that a high number of online followers will boost your real-life profile, exactly how ...
What we do, how we act, where we come from, those are factors that affect the way we are perceived, and Gen z’s are experts at crafting their best selves on social media, but because social media is a medium most Boomers don't fully comprehend, is it distorting their perception of Gen Z’s?
Join Jodie and Grace Hayden as we discuss all things intergenerational behaviours and the modern social media landscape.

“Manners are the sensitive awareness of the feelings of others” - Emily Post
As William Shakespeare wrote, “What’s in a name?”. We’ve all experienced going up to greet someone only to realise that we’ve forgotten their name; but, if this person has a title, in which situations are we expected to use it?

“Good Manners, Dress Well and do Everything Properly” - Dick Reynolds
We’re all guilty of doing something we shouldn’t have, and in that same vein, we’ve also all watched numerous sporting scandals play out like they’re Oscar Nominated Films. But, in the midst of these controversies, are we at fault for judging? Or is the subject’s poor decision-making to blame? If we’re all trying our best to use good manners and be polite, who...

Are people born good? Or do they have goodness thrust upon them?

Join Jodie and Cynthia Morton as we discuss the need for humanity above etiquette and decide whether there are times when rudeness is acceptable. When we know that so much of what was expected of women in the 40’s and 50’s was to “smile” and “be polite.” we ask the question, is that robotic behaviour? And how much of our society's attempt at “people pleasing” is actually pleasing people?

Join Jodie and Lisa Clifford as we unpack the need for universal kindness and patience. Good manners and etiquette are universal. Or are they?
