About

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. 

As a published author of the book "Etiquette For The Savvy Professional, " Carol has become a sought after speaker and instructor. Whether a large corporation like VISA, who retained her services to assist them in polishing some of their new recruits or the New York School System, where she provided training workshops for the faculty and students. Carol has worked with Disney and others to prepare their talent for various roles. In addition, Carol is an engaging panelist and personality who has made appearances giving advice on reality style television shows Married at First Sight, Unmatchable on Lifetime and Toya a Family Affair on VH1, Love& Marriage Huntsville on OWN. Coming full circle in 2023, as a once Atlanta Falcons Cheerleader, Carol became a partner with The NFL Atlanta Falcons Team as their etiquette coach for their Rookie Players.

Starting The Elite School of Etiquette in 2018 as a part-time passion, Carol recently took a leap of faith and left her role as a school teacher for over twenty years to build a company that will make the world a more civilized place to live. Carol is a Certified Etiquette Consultant from The American School of Protocol, she has worked in the coveted role of a Governance to an ultra wealthy Vietnamese family. 

She founded the Miss Excellence Georgia Scholarship Pageant which debuted in November 2022 as the first etiquette based pageant in the world. She continues to raise the bar on the things that she aspires to do. With Charm classes enrolling for the spring of 2023, she firmly believes that you are never too young or too old to learn about etiquette. 

Now that Carol has made a name for herself and The Elite School of Etiquette, She has expanded her impact by establishing a 501c3 educational nonprofit organization. "The Elite Socialite Foundations, Inc." This initiative aims to serve more youth in the community through etiquette training, social development programs, and exceptional field experiences. By combining her experience in etiquette with a passion for empowering young individuals, she is committed to equipping youth with the skills and experiences necessary to excel  in both personal and professional settings. Together we are dedicated to shaping the next generation of leaders who embody respect, empathy, and excellence in all aspects of their lives.
