Date: Tuesday May 21st 6:00 -9:00 p.m

Location: Cincinnati Marriott North (6189 Muhlhauser Rd. West Chester, OH 45069)

Details: Etiquette is a topic that while having an important role in any professional’s career is hardly ever touched in both an engineer’s education and professional training. Good etiquette can ensure a good image is presented in front of colleagues, leaders and potential new partners. Bad etiquette, on the other hand, can often unravel a good image in a formal situation. Thus, the objectives of this event are to provide the best in etiquette teaching for both collegiate and professional members as well as providing an opportunity to use those skills in a networking environment with several potential employers present.

Presented by the South Ohio Section of the Society of Women Engineers

with generous funding from The Exxon Mobile Foundation

About our Speaker: 

LisaMarie Luccioni is founder and president of The Image Establishment, an image/impression management firm empowering companies and individuals to present their professional best in three areas necessary for advancement in today’s global economy:

- Demonstrating proper business etiquette and social graces
- Projecting an authentic—but appropriate—personal and professional image

Communication Professor

A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Cincinnati, LisaMarie is a professor of communication of twenty years in its College of Arts & Sciences. She maintains the unique distinction of possessing a dual teaching assignment: (1) instructing an expansive range of classes to its Department of Communication while simultaneously (2) teaching business etiquette and professional image in its College of Business.

In 2012, LisaMarie was selected by the Princeton Review as one of the “Best 300 Professors” in the United States. Winner of the 2011 McMicken Dean’s Award for Distinguished Service, she has been honored with 6-time citations as both a UC Professor and Woman of the Year. Co-author of Advanced Public Speaking: Persuasive Strategies, LisaMarie clearly understands the contributing factors that create powerful verbal and nonverbal messages. She is the image/impression management blogger on staff for Psychology Today, where she offers commentary on the significance and application of image in social, political, and cultural contexts. She was selected by Cincy Magazine as a 2010 Athena Award Finalist for her innovative work in self-presentation and personal/professional branding.

Etiquette Expert

LisaMarie is a graduate of the Protocol School of Washington, widely considered the premiere provider of global etiquette instruction. She has been featured on radio (NPR), in newspaper (most notably in Pulitzer-Prize winner William Safire’s On Language column), and in magazine publications regarding all possible professionalism issues. LisaMarie appeared as a live guest on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 show, where she discussed the troubling topic of increased rudeness in America with fellow guest, international etiquette icon Letitia Baldrige.

She led the initiative to have Cincinnati’s Mayor Mark Mallory declare May 2010 “International Civility Month” in City Hall Chambers. UC’s President Greg Williams followed suit, offering a similar proclamation, the first and only time the university has ever done so. Such public proclamations are rare and a testimonial to Cincinnati’s efforts to highlight the issue of decorum and manners. AICI subsequently awarded LisaMarie the 2010 Civility Star Award for her work in this area.
