civility Starts with Me

We can build a bridge,
One person at a time.

The choice is ours.

We live in tumultuous times. Incivility is at an all-time high. Add to this heightened levels of social anxiety and loneliness. The truth is, we long for meaningful connection but the attitudes we absorb from culture and our own lack of know-how can compound these issues.

But there is hope. We believe the societal problem is best answered by personal growth and change starting with individuals and, in turn, influencing the culture around us.

Reclaiming Civility combines training in emotional intelligence and relational wisdom to help you understand and cultivate a disposition of civility and then embody that disposition by learning practical social skills and improved techniques for minimizing unnecessary conflict and increasing meaningful connections.

Lisa Brandt and Lori Leander have combined 30 years of  training and experience in educating on Emotional Intelligence, Relational Wisdom, anti-human trafficking, manners and etiquette with businesses, non-profit organizations and young adults.
