Edwardlene M. Willis Ph.D.
Whether you are going out on a date with a hollywood
celebrity or on your way to a Saturday night Bingo game at
your neighborhood's clubhouse, you must know the proper
social and behavioral manners. Dr. Edwardlene Willis is a
certified expert in the specialized field of improving
social skills. In her informative and authoritative
handbook, Mind your Manners: An Etiquette Guide for
Youth and Young Adults (now available through
Author House), Dr. Willis offers a
wealth of advice and helpful tips on how to regulate if
not totally avoid social and behavioral blunders.
"Etiquette touches every part of life. It is practiced at
home, in school, on the job, and in social relations. For
some situations there are special sets of rules, but there
are many general tips that will be used in many places,
many times, all your life." Dr Willis writes. She
specifically pinpoints the surprising goofs in dating,
partying, traveling, and attending business meetings and
conferences. Likewise, she also outlines various strategies
and procedures on: appropriate school decorum, party
policies, public behavior, business protocols, getting
along with a group and proper home etiquette.
Mind Your Manners is the result of
meticulous research, interview, and observations including
the author's actual experiences. Dr Willis is a former
public school teacher and university administrator; her
extensive exposure to community service also inspired her
to compile this unique guidebook. She stresses that many
teenagers and young adults are victims of uncomfortable
situations at home, school, in public, and in the
workplace, and are in desperate need of social guidance.
Dr Willis has appeared on several national television and
syndicated radio programs. She currently works as a
consultant for social service organizations and educational
institutions in the East Texas region. Mind Your
Manners was recently included as supplementary
instruction material or textbook in several colleges,
universities, and school districts.
