There’s a difference between the written word and the spoken word — and no one teaches you how to navigate that difference quite like Elaine Swann, America’s go-to etiquette expert. In this episode of Fox After 40, Elaine breaks down how grace, confidence, and etiquette are your greatest assets as you evolve in life, business, and relationships.
From executive presence to email mistakes, how to properly network, raise well-mannered kids, or confidently show up as your full self — this episode is packed with insight for women in transition who want to move through the world with intention.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why saying both your first and last name elevates your presence
- The difference between etiquette and respectability politics
- Etiquette mistakes women over 40 still make
- Executive etiquette and power dynamics
- How to know when your child (or YOU) need an etiquette class
- What to do when you're invited to someone’s private jet or vacation home
- And why etiquette isn’t bougie — it’s about being considerate
Elaine also shares how she built a licensing program that helps other women start their own etiquette consulting businesses — giving them the tools, community, and confidence to serve others with class and care.
