Hello, I’m Christine Glick
My work is built on a simple belief: How you make people feel matters.
Before entering the world of etiquette and protocol, I spent over 20 years in luxury interior design and renovation—managing complex projects and working closely with clients where expectations were high and every detail counted. It was there I learned that beyond the finished product, it is the experience people remember. That understanding naturally led me to this work.
Today, I support organizations and individuals in refining how they communicate, connect, and show up—especially in the moments that carry the most weight. The introductions, the conversations, the subtle decisions that shape trust, perception, and outcome.
My training includes Beaumont Etiquette, The English Manner, the Protocol Bureau, and the British Butler Institute. But what I bring is not just education—it is application.
Because etiquette is not about perfection.
And protocol is not about rules.
It is about awareness, respect, and the ability to move with confidence in any environment. Whether in a boardroom, a dining setting, or a cross-cultural exchange, presence is what sets people apart. Presence is something that can be learned.
I’ve seen firsthand how these skills can change the way someone moves through the world—and I believe everyone deserves access to that kind of confidence.
Experience
Christine has worked with and spoken for organizations and groups including:

The Power of Connection
I remember attending my first Protocol event in Brussels where, as a part of my responsibilities, I was expected to learn every guest before the event began. This included their name and profession.
Ironically… they gave the job of talking to everyone to the southern American.
One woman there was born in France but her parents moved to the states where she grew up. Eventually, years later, they returned to France.
When she discovered I was American, something unexpected happened.
Even in such a formal environment, she immediately reached out, hugged me, and proceeded to chat in southern American mode.
In that moment, it had nothing to do with titles, seating arrangements, or proper procedure.
It was human connection. For her, it was comfort - a feeling of home.
Lasting impact
Through my teaching and speaking experiences, one thing has become incredibly clear to me, people are not searching for perfection. They are searching for connection.
Some of the most meaningful feedback I have received has not been about etiquette rules or protocol itself. It has been from people sharing that they felt more confident, more aware of how they communicate, or more comfortable.
This lasting impact is what continues to drive my work. Because when someone feels more confident and comfortable, they naturally want to help others feel respected, valued, and at ease, it changes more than a single interaction. It changes relationships, leadership, client experience, and the way people are remembered long after the conversation ends.
