Below are a few quotes from students who attended a recent academy, educators who have brought our social skills program into their classrooms, and from parents who have witnessed behavior changes at home.
Teen/Tween Participants
“My favorite part of today was the Self-Discipline portion. I think it’s very important to manage your emotions and take time to think before you act…”
“…program overall was well thought out and put together. You forced us to open up and learn things about ourselves we never knew…I personally believe you should keep up the program and leave it the way it is…”
“I liked Self Control and Self-Discipline the best because I felt that it’s the core competency I need to work on. I felt like that you guys shouldn't change anything. Very nicely done”
“I enjoyed …the section about Posture. The dressing of the mannequins and the soul train line was enjoyable as well.”
“I like the activities, the speakers, and the freedom. I’d change nothing.”
“I like the confident activities because it helped you be more comfortable in front of people.”
“I enjoyed everything…it took a big change in my life. I’m more than excited about my future. At first I was shy because I knew no one…but after the very first activity I was more than confident.”
“I think you guys don’t need to change anything.”
“One thing I liked about the program is when you have to keep your emotions in check because if you don’t you can affect your chances of getting something…”
“I like Communication best. It helped me with talking to new people…”
“Favorite topic was Dress & Hygiene because I feel as if every girl should know about that. Also Communication Skills. I learned a lot about how to talk better and with confidence.”
“I’d like to have classes like this more often.”
Educators
“For approximately three years, I have had the distinct pleasure of following and using the services of Social Charms. They have presented for my Professional Development classes and the annual Office Administration Summit, which is held during Administrative Professionals Week, at Central Piedmont Community College. The etiquette skills and professional development information that they have shared with my students has been invaluable…”

“I wanted to say thank you! The workshop was excellent. The workshop exceeded my expectation. The classes that stood out were the ones on communication skills and common courtesy. I like how the workshop was relevant, interactive and it made the girls think about their own actions. The girls started off the season with some major issues. I believe that the classes on common courtesy and communication skills helped the girls to work through some of their issues with each other. I truly believe that if they did not have those classes, there would have been some major fights and arguments. I was very humble and proud to see the girls participating and enjoying themselves during the workshop. I expect the girls will use what they have learned for the remainder of their life…”

“I would like you to know that David has been using the skills that you all covered in class. He walks around talking about doing things "in the proper way". Both of them are already to come back to class. I am so grateful for the impression you made on these two.”
