“Perfect balance of information and interaction. The strong content, especially the Personal Branding segment, has provided a platform for deeper discussion within our group of leaders. The CELI workshop was spot-on and delivered very effectively. ”

“GE Aerospace engaged CELI for a specially tailored four-week training series entitled, “The Well-Rounded Leader.” This training was provided to a select group of interns. We were extremely pleased with each workshop and our interns had glowing evaluations as well. The workshops were very engaging and impactful. It was obvious that Tiffany Adams really cared about the interns’ success and well-being. I believe CELI’s training will really help the interns get off to a great start in their careers. GE Aerospace looks forward to engaging CELI’s services again next year!”

“Once again, GE Aerospace engaged CELI’s training services for four workshops. Again, we were impressed. CELI’s workshops are essential to any young professional starting out in the work world, but certainly can add much value to the professional lives of any generation. The curriculum had fresh, up-to-date perspectives that reaffirmed classic etiquette practices while pushing the topics into the modern high-tech world. The workshops covered a number of relevant topics including, “Netiquette”, Corporate Dining, and Cultural Awareness, all of which are relevant in any modern corporate business environment. I highly recommend CELI to anyone looking to take the next step towards advancement in their career.”

“Today, I had the honor of a presentation from the Cincinnati Etiquette & Leadership Institute, LLC (CELI). This training was eye-opening. I’ve struggled with having a high-caliber vocabulary and professionalism. We can’t let our self-doubt interfere with reaching our full potential. I highly recommend this engaging program. Thank you, Tiffany Adams and First Financial Bank, for raising the bar in my leadership growth and professional development!””

“This workshop was great, and I was honored to be included. People are not as self-aware as I would have thought, including myself! This will help me be more self-aware. Also helpful was the general way of introducing myself to others and being curious with the conversation. My favorite part was the different examples of interesting conversation starters.”

“Excellent program. Tiffany Adams is very energetic, warm, and honest. I can be shy and I was nervous about this event, but it was just the right amount of interaction but learning at the same time.””

“Tiffany delivered an engaging and insightful workshop on the Principles of Professionalism (POP!) to Miami University Women in Business, which resonated remarkably well with our 150+ members. Her adeptness in captivating the audience and infusing a contemporary approach into business etiquette left a lasting impression. We’re thankful for the enriching evening spent learning with Tiffany, and we’re determined to carry forward the valuable insights gleaned into our professional journeys!

”

“Thank you very much for offering our organization so much knowledge and wisdom!”

“altafiber (formerly Cincinnati Bell) engaged CELI’s “Leadership at Its Finest” series for our executive leadership team. The overwhelming response was that everyone learned something valuable that they can do differently to enhance their own leadership style or make a better impression with business partners and clients. Each and every leader had their own “aha moments” and took away many strategies for enhancing their own personal brand and the brand of our organization. This training was so successful, in fact, that we have engaged CELI to educate and enlighten a wider range of employees. CELI’s professional development training incorporates lost-art business lessons, along with modernized curriculum, to help all levels of experience to better navigate the workplace and the electronic world in which we now live. I really believe in the long-lasting benefits of this training.”

“I appreciate Tiffany Adams’ thought leadership and guidance in the corporate space. ”

“Very insightful. Each topic addresses professional behavior and etiquette for daily activities, some of which I’ve never self-assessed.”

“Topics were on point and up to date for today’s world. The email etiquette was AWESOME. Engaging, interactive, and informative training!”

“Informative - This is training that not many people think about or teach in regards to professionalism, but very needed. I found the Virtual Fatigue curriculum very insightful. New content and very useful as we are living this next normal currently. Especially enjoyed the interactive parts. Engaging! ”

“It was such an honor getting to meet Tiffany Adams and Leigh Fox. They did such an amazing job presenting. I will definitely be using every one of their pointers in my everyday life. They both were filled with wisdom and intelligence and I was truly in awe of them. ”

“Thank you, Tiffany and Leigh, two awesome #Miamialum, for sharing your expertise with our future leaders of tomorrow. ”

“We truly enjoyed your presentation, Tiffany, on “Catalyzing Your Personal Brand.” Loved the interactive delivery style you have and how you engaged us. Learned so much!”

“Once again, Barnes Dennig hosted the Cincinnati Etiquette & Leadership Institute, LLC (CELI). This time, CELI presented to our Women’s Initiative affinity group. As always, the presentation on “Women’s Leadership: Empowering Your Higher Self” was fantastic! Our firm is very fortunate to have CELI continue to develop our incredibly talented group of ladies. Being a value-added business advisor reaches far beyond just technical skills. Thank you, CELI!”

“We proudly give Tiffany Adams and the CELI business etiquette workshop our highest recommendation. Our members (some seasoned experts, some new to the industry) were absolutely stunned by what they didn’t know they needed to know about business etiquette. Tiffany’s format fostered engagement and communication, making CELI’s presentation memorable; it was (and still is!) the topic of conversations during many of our subsequent events. The CELI program has proven to be one of our chapter’s best investments (ROI). We look forward to continuing to work with CELI in the future. ”

“We contracted with CELI to separate us from our competition with workshops on written and oral communication, proper introductions, corporate dress policy, and conducting ourselves at after-hour events. We also engaged private coaching sessions for some of our top leaders. CELI, indeed, helped the firm to become even more polished as we strive to portray the image that our industry and clientele demand. ”

“Tiffany Adams’ passion for facilitation and supporting our overall organizational needs is much appreciated and precisely the type of partnership we need to continue fostering a learning-oriented culture as we strive to stay at the top of our game in our industry in 2023 and beyond.”

“In a 2023 workshop, Tiffany was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She was able to communicate a lot of information in a brief two- hour training. Her shared experiences and depth of knowledge on this topic about productive meetings was impressive. Highly engaging. I would highly recommend this class to others.

”

“You are amazing! The attention to detail in your presentation was top-notch. All the guests walked away happy and had nothing but great things to say about the CELI event. You offered such valuable information and strategies that I’m sure were used immediately. In fact, you would have been proud of the way I used your business card protocol later that day!”

“CELI facilitated a high-energy, interactive, useful workshop for our attorneys on how to navigate a networking event successfully, followed by a professionally-guided social hour at which the attorneys practiced their new skills. Everyone present said they gained new confidence, and learned things they could immediately put to good use at their next networking event. Many noted that once their mindset was changed from viewing their role at a networking event as just “selling,” to instead as a chance to “build meaningful relationships and help people,” they now look forward with enthusiasm, rather than dread, to their next networking opportunity.

Graydon Head looks forward to exploring future opportunities to collaborate with CELI.”

“Thank you for presenting business etiquette and a dining tutorial to our Retail Management Development Program. Our team could not stop talking about how much they learned. Your willingness and expertise in customizing the workshop to fit our culture and needs made the experience extremely valuable to us. You engaged instantly with our team members in a personable and friendly way, which motivated the group to embrace your strategies and respect your presentation style. We are definitely interested in partnering with CELI again and will be exploring future synergies.”

“Tiffany, you are absolutely amazing, empowering, and an inspiration! Thank you so very much for the CELI workshop to our Women Connect group.”

“Inspirational, thought-provoking program. You are an excellent communicator and quick-on-your-feet thinker.”
”I never realized how much I say and do to undersell and discredit myself...now I do.”
”Powerful message with lots to take away!
”Great message - Two hours felt like two minutes!””

“94% of attendees rated CELI’s workshop ‘profoundly interesting and extremely useful.’
”Great program - so glad I came!”
”Excellent & Informative presentation”
”Very helpful and practical. Illustrated how important these skills are to have.”

“From the first time I met Tiffany Adams, I was very impressed. Her professionalism, organization, confidence and skill of personalizing the CELI curriculum to our team’s needs is what sets this professional development training apart. Our team completed a total of four workshops which were all action-packed with great material, a lot of interaction and insightful breakout sessions. I have already seen a lot of improvements with our team. We look forward to engaging CELI again for the next round of workshops!”

“Impressed with the entire session. Enjoyed the team involvement exercises. Very engaging, informational, and upbeat!”

“I engaged CELI to present to our administrative services team a workshop on professionalism in the workplace, creating your personal brand, and team collaboration. We were not disappointed! Everyone provided positive feedback and feel they have an increased awareness and practical tools to put in place now. I am proud to say just two weeks after the training, I am seeing positive results from the session. I highly recommend CELI to any organization looking to raise the bar.”

“We welcomed CELI to conduct a 30-employee “Netiquette” workshop that covered Email Etiquette, LinkedIn Protocol, and Smartphone Etiquette. Two hours in, our team remained highly engaged and wanting to hear more. So many “takeaways” were taught and are now being implemented at our company. We definitely learned a great deal about being better communicators in today’s electronic world! ”

“Thank you for conducting the CELI dining tutorial to our new Cincy Next class of leaders. The feedback was extremely positive and they found it very useful for their personal as well as their professional lives. I also wanted to thank you for your thorough planning and preparation to ensure a smooth event - it definitely showed. It’s been a real pleasure working with CELI and the Chamber looks forward to future partnerships. ”

“Two CELI workshops were created for 1000 students at Walnut Hills High School during the 2014-15 school year. The essentials of business etiquette and cultural awareness, with a focus on Africa, were covered. The presentations included valuable material about social media awareness too. Students were engaged with memorable visuals and active participation, and were able to clearly define what they learned. It was wonderful to observe them applying skills such as shaking hands and making proper introductions. It was also exciting to hear students have meaningful conversations during subsequent school days about cultural awareness and respect for others. I would recommend CELI’s training programs to any school seeking to educate and enlighten in the areas of business etiquette, social media awareness, and/or cultural awareness.”

“Words cannot express our appreciation for making this presentation so informative, enlightening, and memorable. As you taught, we all need to be more aware of how we present ourselves in the business world and learn the strategies to do so effectively. Thank you. ”

“CELI’s training offerings capture a unique niche that improve our community in many ways. We received most positive feedback from our core members who were very engaged during the CELI presentation to over 125 members. Our members attributed their engagement to Tiffany Adams’ interactive delivery style and the value of her topic. We appreciated all her energy and expertise.”

“After a thorough Client Needs Assessment which involved research of our corporate policies and team interviews, CELI provided an engaging and relevant presentation that was a workplace differentiator. The training added true value to our teams’ professional development.”

“Tiffany Adams, CELI President, presented a workshop entitled, “Working and Interacting in the Global Workplace” with a focus on India and China. She presented for a staff of 50 employees of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She invited our input into shaping the content and created a workshop the majority of our participants felt was extremely useful and informative. We were impressed by Tiffany’s flexibility and creativity in working with us. She left the audience wanting more!”

“My son, Chet Larger, enjoyed the Etiquette class very much. He was surprised at how much he enjoyed this and according to him - how much he learned! I believe the class really had an impact on him. From the parent of a teenage boy...THANK YOU!”

“Really liked the Conan video, the table place setting race, and good to know about cell phones at the table!”

“Loved it! Thought provoking presentation...it’s important to remember to put your best attitude and appearance forward everyday. We have received so much positive feedback about this training and look forward to utilizing your services in the future.”

“I have known Tiffany Adams, Founder and President of the Cincinnati Etiquette & Leadership Institute, LLC (CELI), for 30 years and have greatly respected her professional expertise and accomplishments throughout her career. Tiffany demonstrates tremendous professional integrity, creativity, organizational skills, and superb execution in everything she does. With the launch of CELI and its mission, Tiffany has identified an important developmental need that all organizations can benefit from. She also has a unique ability to connect with her students and customize a curriculum that is relevant and meaningful to their personal and professional careers and is aligned with the strategic goals of each contracted organization. I truly believe that CELI offers something unique and essential for organizational professional development programs. ”
