Episode 621 - Contentious Meeting Courtesy

August 3, 2026 · 1 h 1 min

Show notes

On today's show, we take your questions on hosting contentious business meetings with professionalism and hospitality, whether it's okay to ask Grandma to leave her opinions about meat at home for an eighteenth birthday dinner, and what to do when your child no longer wants to attend a birthday party after being bullied by the birthday kid. For Community Members, we have a bonus question about staying connected with your former in-laws after a divorce. Plus your weekly etiquette challenge, a salute to  the ladies in the ladies room, and a postscript reading from Elizabeth Post introducing the replica edition of Emily Post original etiquette.
