Meet the Director - Instructor

As a marketing representative for a major corporation, Jill Evans Kryston learned early the importance of a professional image and the benefit of having good manners.  Later, in her job as an administrative assistant, Ms. Kryston discovered the need for effective communication skills as she dealt with customer relations and conducted training seminars.     

During the course of raising three children Ms. Kryston held offices in several Parent Teacher Organizations.  Most recently she was a “Friends” of the Library president and served on a Library Board of Directors.  In each instance Ms. Kryston learned the necessary dynamics required to possess successful leadership skills. 

While working in a high school guidance office Ms. Kryston noticed there was a general lack of common courtesies and respect among the students.  Having always been a believer in polite behavior and good manners, she saw a need and decided to embark upon a career to teach etiquette and protocol.  She began with a vision to reclaim civility in our society. 

 

Ms. Kryston received her certification to teach etiquette to children and teens from The International School of Protocol.  Additionally, she holds copyrights to all of the School of Protocol’s instructional materials which she uses to customize courses to suit specific needs. Ms. Kryston is insured and has all the Pennsylvania Child Clearances. She is a member of the Association of Practicing Consultants.

More than a job, Ms. Kryston is passionate about teaching manners, etiquette and protocol.  She once read a story to her children with a message that we should make the world a better and more beautiful place than we found it.  That story struck a lasting cord and hence, Ms. Kryston began her mission through her business, Defining Manners: A School of Contemporary Protocol.
