Get To Know Carol Rey

Carol Rey is building a global etiquette company that is transforming how we show up in the world for both children and adults. Raised by what Carol considers as two perfectionists to be a free thinker, she was taught to be concerned with how she showed up. Not just in the sense of looks but in the fullness of what to do when you get there and everything in between. Carol starts each class with an aged old truth with a new age twist "you only 7 seconds to make a first impression."

Earning the title the Etiquette Queen by some of her students, Carol's life experiences and her relatability is what makes her unique.
