MEET LIISA 

Where it all started …

 

My journey began in live television, where I’ve spent over 32 years as a producer and director, helping people shine on camera and stay calm under pressure.

But what I also loved was helping people feel confident, composed, and completely themselves - whether in front of a camera or walking into everyday moments in their lives.

​While producing segments on a top-rated national lifestyle show, I explored stories about building social confidence, and I kept coming back to one often overlooked skill with real impact: etiquette! Whether at a formal dinner or casual event, I saw how simple things like knowing how to navigate your place setting, or how to start a conversation could instantly boost confidence!

The moment it clicked…

"That’s when I realized: etiquette isn’t about being fancy, it’s about feeling at ease so you can be fully present and enjoy the moment"

Etiquette doesn’t have to be intimidating, and

with a bit of practice it can become second-nature.

 

And now, after years of teaching etiquette, I wanted to share what really works, including practical tools and timeless tips that fit into real life.

​

It’s not about perfection, it’s about being prepared... and that etiquette is more than just manners - it’s your silent superpower!

"Everything I share comes from experience - 
what I’ve taught, tested and seen work."

My promise is to always keep it practical, encouraging, and rooted in kindness.

 

I truly believe that etiquette is for everyone, and that small changes can have a big impact on how you show up, connect with others and experience the world around you.

 

Thank you for being here - I’m so glad our paths have crossed!

SPILL THE TEA

Q&A with Liisa

Where are you originally from?

I was born and raised in the beautiful county of Hertfordshire in the UK. It’s full of charming pubs, green spaces, and an incredible amount of Roman history and ruins!

​

Favourite TV show?

I rarely sit still long enough to watch a full show - but one of my all-time favourites is Downton Abbey. I’m tempted to start from the beginning again! I loved watching it with a big pot of tea, some chocolate biscuits… and absolutely no interruptions.

​

Coffee or tea?

A cappuccino to start the day, English breakfast tea in the afternoon, and chamomile or ginger tea in the evening. It’s a full rotation!

​

Early bird or night owl?

Honestly, both! After years of working early mornings in television, I can still wake up before the sun - but I’m also known to stay up late. FOMO? Maybe just a bit.

​

Sweet tooth or salty cravings?

Sweet, always! Ice cream, chocolate, and a little dessert (or pudding, as we say in the UK) after dinner is my idea of happiness.

 

What’s your signature sip?

A gin and tonic is my go-to…but a sweet Riesling (or even a piña colada!) can be very tempting!

 

What's your feel-good food?

Sushi! There’s a local spot I’ve been ordering from for over 15 years - same order every time. It’s become a running joke with the owners at this point! Thin crust pizza is a close second. And of course, a proper Sunday roast dinner never goes amiss!

 

How do you stay active?

I’ve always been athletic - growing up, I swam competitively, which taught me discipline and the joy of movement early on. I now stay active in ways that feel social and fun: Scottish country dancing (which is a workout in disguise!).  I play in a weekly golf league, tennis,  as well as long walks/hikes and bike rides. It keeps me energized and clear-headed!

 

What’s my dream vacation destination?
Greece is at the top of my list right now - those views, the history, and the food! I’m also curious to try a cruise… there’s something exciting about waking up in a new place each day that might be fun!
