Testimonials

“My sessions with Mindy Lockard have been those of a life-changing experience.  I have gone from being unsure in public settings to a more confident, professional woman. After our first meeting, Mindy prepared a personal plan for me that was exactly in tune with what we had discussed. I was so impressed by her ability to listen and understand my needs. The last few months have truly added value to my life. I would have missed one of the most positive experiences in my life had I not become a student of Mindy’s amazing knowledge of etiquette.”

“Mindy Lockard consulted with our business on Business Etiquette and Protocol as we were preparing for networking opportunities and an open house for our new office.  Her direction gave us confidence in putting ourselves and our guests at ease and showed us how to have a good time doing it.”

“I was pleasantly surprised when my wife and I attended one of Mindy Lockard’s dining classes.  I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive about taking a ‘manners’ class.  Not only was the dining experience exceptional, but it turned out to be a great networking opportunity.  We learned some very practical things, especially with regard to wine selection, that we have since used in dining with friends, family, and business contacts.”

“Mindy Lockard models what she teaches.  As a speaker, she is professional, warm, and approachable.  She taught me how to meet and introduce people graciously.  As a pastor’s wife, I have had many opportunities to put into practice the skills Mindy shared with our group.  I highly recommend Mindy as an expert in teaching women how to handle public situations gracefully.”

“Mindy Lockard is a wonderful role model of what it means to be respectful to others, a perfect match for someone who talks about etiquette. She presented a talk for 320 ladies at First Baptist Church about friendship. Her presentation will long be remembered because it was so full of information that was practical and spoken with wonderful touches of humor mixed with clips from movies and examples from her own life. Mindy was a joy to work with because of her response to meeting our requests for content, deadlines, and, most importantly, her sensitivity to the particular event plans and goals. She spoke with great ease and poise. Mindy truly walks what she talks. That makes working with her and knowing her a pleasure.”

“When our daughter was invited by a classmate to join Mindy Lockard’s Leadership Day Camp etiquette class, I didn't realize then how important it would be.  But now I see how the respectfulness, thoughtfulness, and leadership it instills can greatly benefit our society.”

“After taking Mrs. Lockard’s class, I had a better understanding of what etiquette is, and with society the way it is today, it was great to have someone willing to teach us how to have proper etiquette.”
