Testimonials
Incredibly, you spend years in school preparing for a career that can be compromised in a few moments with improper behavior. Manners do matter — no matter how informal the business environment. The good news is that Colleen’s book is an etiquette boot camp for avoiding social and business pitfalls. Be On Your Best Business Behavior is an informative and entertaining tool for any of us who have wondered (and worried) about the proper way to do anything — and in any situation.
— Jeff Singsaas
General Manager Microsoft Corporation
Being schooled in proper business etiquette is essential in today’s fast-paced and diverse business community. Colleen attacks the subject with a “hands-on” manner as she walks a group through all the steps needed in making a business dinner or meeting a success. She also makes it more than a learning experience, she makes it a fun and enjoyable time with her. The results are immediate as you can see positive changes and real confidence grow with your executives as they conduct themselves much differently at business dinners and meetings following the Colleen Rickenbacher experience.

Colleen’s material has been not only informative and educational for our cheerleaders but also fun! We love her enthusiasm and zeal for her topics and her interactive presentations. This book is a winner!
