About the Author
Maralee McKee is America’s go –to Manners Mentor. She’s been described as “Rachael Ray meets Emily Post.” With her laid back, best friend style, and modern sensibilities it’s no wonder people turn to her for the simple, savvy, sincere skills she shares for shining personally and professionally. Maralee’s brand of manners is where the ivory tower walls of etiquette past meet the fast-paced, techno-savvy, casual sensibilities of today.
She is the founder of Manners Mentor, Inc., and the author of the Manners that Matter curriculum. Her book, Manners that Matter to Moms will be released in late 2011.
Maralee is a former radio and TV host and a frequent guest on national radio shows like, The K-Love Morning Show. She is a blogger, and a magazine contributor to Parents, Parenting, Cooking Smart, All You, and others.
She works with major corporations including Chick-fil-A, Gaylord Entertainment, Hyatt, State Farm Financial Services, and in churches across the nation equipping them to represent themselves and their brand in the highest professional manner with ease and simplicity. She had prepared seasoned associates and even children to meet with royalty and Presidents.
Her passion is sharing skills that equip you to exchange self-consciousness for self- confidence so you can shine in all your encounters.
She’s a wife, the mom of two sons (grades 2 and 8) and a native of Orlando, Florida. She cheers loudly and proudly for both the Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs. (It’s a long story!)
