Make Etiquette Great Again: Your Guide to Winning the Holidays

We’ve all been there. Standing at the holiday party with nothing to say to a room full of well-dressed strangers. Or wondering what fork we are supposed to use for the salad. And does it even matter what side of the plate you put your water glass on?

Etiquette has become a lost art in much of American culture, but Alison Cheperdak, to borrow from President Donald Trump, is “making it great again.”  

After law school and serving in a number of fast-paced positions, including in the first Trump administration, Cheperdak decided to turn her passion for etiquette into a career and founded Elevate Etiquette.  

On this special Thanksgiving edition of “Problematic Women,” Cheperdak shares everything from tips and tricks for carrying on a conversation with strangers at holiday parties to how to set a proper Thanksgiving table, and when it is, and isn’t, appropriate to send a thank-you note.  

And Thanksgiving would not be complete without some holiday trivia! Catch it all on this week’s edition of “Problematic Women.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
