TESTIMONIALS
 |
"It was in the fall of 1995
when I first met with Diane Craig. I am still using her practical
tips in business etiquette, working a room, dining skills and
wardrobe planning. I believe that Corporate Class's programs
are a must for any professional doing business in today's competitive
market."
Carol Stephenson

“I also gave some attention to my image in the period
running up to the 1997 election. In the beginning, I was loath
to give this subject much of my time. Why couldn’t the
media and the public just focus on what I had to say, instead
of obsessing about my voice, hair, spectacles, smile and clothes?
Of course I knew intellectually that if you are going to communicate
effectively with people in this age of television, you simply
can’t divorce substance from image. I just didn’t
want to deal with the challenge on a personal level. Finally,
my communications people convinced me by saying that if my
personal appearance, bearing and idiosyncracies actually distracted
people and kept them from hearing or seeing what I was trying
to communicate, it would be wise to do something at least to
minimize the distractions. Diane Craig was invited to advise
on clothes and manners, and we got to work on the “image”.
And Diane Craig undertook to get me a more leader-like wardrobe
and made sure the look was appropriate for whatever the occasion.”

Corporate Class sets you at ease
to be comfortable in setting the image you know you want, but
somehow can't quite pull together on your own. Diane Craig
is gracious and creative in building your confidence to new
levels of style. I have found her invaluable in building the
foundation of how I will present to the tens of thousands in
our audience. She's always available for specific events, shopping
assistance, wardrobe building and the sensitive work of manners
and public presence education. Whether it is skills for working
a room, to intimate dining etiquette, or hosting a banquet
for hundreds, Diane's insights are invaluable. I highly recommend
her work for all levels of business and entertainment.

“Many of our employees across all levels have greatly benefited
from your image and etiquette sessions. They were great fun and really
informative. Your program on Dress is popular and always well received. The
Dining Tutorial you delivered at our leadership program was full
of practical tips. Our President and CEO Ronnie Miller said: “We’ll
definitely see a lot more of Diane Craig”. We look forward
to our ongoing relationship with Corporate Class Inc.”

“Recently, I read a great book called Email
Etiquette by Diane Craig, President of Corporate
Class Inc. In Email Etiquette, Ms. Craig tells you everything
you need to know about how to make the most effective use of e-mail
in your communications. In
other words, this is the single most comprehensive piece on e-mail
success that I’ve ever seen. If you’re interested in
building a successful career, I think that Email Etiquette should
be in your library – and it
should be one of the books to which you refer very frequently. Diane
really knows what she’s talking about as well when it comes to business
etiquette and dining etiquette.”

"Learning dining etiquette has increased my level
of confidence and this allows me to get to the business at hand.
I know I am not offending someone by the way I handle business
before, during and after the meal. Understanding all the different rules
and intricacies of table manners is invaluable when doing business and during
social situations."

"I am so glad I attended your seminar on Business
Etiquette. It has shown me ways to strengthen my business relationships
and I can already see how much this will benefit my career in the years
to come."
Marie Allard,

"The executive dining course coupled with the tips on dressing and the business etiquette course have helped my sales team develop into a more highly polished, professional and ultimately successful sales team. All without exception found the content to be of value both professionally and personally. Why? Because it's all about confidence - yours
and how you are perceived by others."
Gail Ryan, General Manager,
Canada Post Corporation
“You have a true talent to connect with people of all walks of life
and help them realize the value of style. Your presentation was captivating
and made the meaning of “dress for success” a reality, and
I for one will never look at another piece of clothing the same way
as I did before. Thank you for helping me and others realize that the investment
in wardrobe can pay off!”
Fariba Anderson Partner,
The Manta Group
"I want to let you know how very much I appreciated
my time with Diane Craig and her expert staff. Because I had
lost a lot of weight, I wanted to look good and feel great. The tips
you gave me were invaluable. I see clothes in an entirely different
way now. But most importantly, I feel that you really understood
me - the amount of time I was prepared to spend on myself, and
the styles I would really wear. As you suggested I went through
my closet, rejected everything that was wrong. Afterwards I shopped with
more confidence that I have ever had. I now have a small, yet usable
wardrobe. And I couldn't believe the compliments I received on my new
hairstyle, lipstick and overall style. I
accomplished all this with very few changes and not much money. Image
International's
consultants are talented in their field, caring in their approach, and
non-judgmental in their advice. I loved the whole experience."
Many thanks from this "casual chic" Mary King
"How can I thank you for your help? You have no idea how happy I am with my wardrobe and I haven't
gone out and bought a single thing! I had not expected to be so pleased
with the results. If only every woman got her closet cleaned, this world
would be a happier place."
Teresa Beauregard, Interpreter,
House of Commons, Canadian Parliament
"Thanks to Diane Craig I have developed a new
personal style and look. Your warm and genteel manner during my personal
consultation made me feel at ease. Each element of the color analysis,
change in make-up, eye glasses, figure and style analysis and those
personal tips all contributed to the metamorphosis. I have enhanced
my personal appearance; developed a new style and gained the confidence
and poise I need to meet more public commitments. My family, friends
and colleagues are excited about my transformation."
Lori Nash,

The knowledge of how significant a part culture can play in dealing with others is certainly essential in preparing for a career in the international marketplace. As one student said after your course, "This is what an MBA is really all about. Protocol is everything"."
Sandra McCance, Career Manager,

"We were able to translate the many key tips from Corporate Class Inc.'s
International Business Etiquette seminar into a very successful trip. In
Korea, we were commended by two different customers for showing great respect
to them by being extremely well prepared. More importantly, we were able
to exhibit a more profound understanding of their culture than the other
foreign business contacts they had previously. Our Japanese hosts were gracious
as always, but we were able to repay that courtesy by utilizing the many
hints and tips Corporate Class Inc. had taught during our seminar."
Paul MacDonald, Manager,
Northern Digital Inc.
"Excellent talk!!!"
"She loves her material and there is simply no substitute for passion."
"Diane is an excellent speaker; the seminar was interesting with many useful
tips."
