24. Ask Louise: Social Etiquette Dilemmas
Have you ever faced a social dilemma and wondered what the "right" thing to do is? In this episode of Manners and Other Matters we run through etiquette questions that could be affecting your life.
I address some of the most intriguing and delicate social dilemmas, from whether to return an engagement ring after a broken promise, to how to gracefully handle children’s gifts at parties. You’ll discover how traditional etiquette meets modern-day challenges, with practical advice that balances tradition with contemporary sensibilities.
Listeners will learn how to navigate awkward situations like ending a short friendship without ghosting, and what to do when someone asks for a secret family recipe. This episode is filled with timeless advice that will not only help you maintain grace under pressure but also deepen your understanding of the art of elegant living.
What social dilemma has left you puzzled? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Connect with me on Instagram @ThePercyInstitute, where we can continue this conversation.
