Hello, I'm your coach Kristina

Hello, my name is Kristina, a former Head Protocol at the Slovak Parliament and diplomat in London. Originally from Slovakia, I relocated to London in 2019 to pursue my diplomatic career.

As the Head of Diplomatic Protocol and a diplomat in London, my days were filled with advising state officials, organising high-level meetings, receptions, formal dinners and state visits. Leading the historic inauguration ceremony of Slovakia’s first female president remains one of my proudest achievements.

In these high-stakes scenarios, under the spotlight with no room for mistakes, I discovered my passion for etiquette and good manners and their profound impact on personal and professional interactions. It wasn’t just about knowing which fork to use or how to address a dignitary; it was a powerful skill set that boosted my confidence and elevated my social interactions.

Every time my friends needed advice on what to wear, what to say, or how to conduct themselves in different social settings, I was their go-to person. This inspired me to combine my love for etiquette with my professional experience. I decided to create a platform to share my passion with the world. This is how Manners with Kristina was born.

Manners with Kristina is more than just a platform for etiquette advice; it’s a hub for style inspiration, confidence-boosting tips, and practical guidance. Whether you’re a young professional navigating the job market, a stay-at-home mom reentering the workforce, or anyone looking to improve their social interactions, there’s something here for you.

I cannot think of any work, any relationship or any social interaction that would not benefit from knowing etiquette and the best practices of applying it – good manners. At home, at work, in our communities, or even in the digital space, etiquette is still relevant. In fact, it is now more relevant than ever, as we live in this connected world, through social media, smartphones, video calls, and emails. We need to constantly make sure we maintain a positive image for ourselves.

I devoted my life to etiquette because it greatly improved my personal and professional life. It gave me the confidence to handle any situation with ease and grace. 

“When I saw the huge impact it had on my life, I knew the same would help others.”

We all deserve to live with the very best quality of life possible. And nothing will help you go further in life than to be able to improve your social interactions and to feel confident in any situation. Good manners and etiquette will help you get anything you want out of life, whether it’s the job you always wanted, a better relationship, or the man or woman you dreamt of. I promise, it will have a huge impact on your life.

Good news is that it’s never too late to become a better version of yourself. Whether you’re hosting an event, socializing, or preparing for a special occasion, Manners with Kristina offers practical guidance tailored to everyone, regardless of age, profession, or prior knowledge. Let’s begin this journey to refinement together and make the most of every opportunity life presents.
