Maxim Praxis offers coaching and training in protocol, etiquette, and intercultural communication for those moving between cultures, organizations, and levels of formality.
Our work begins with the understanding that every encounter starts before the first word is spoken. Conduct is one of the ways respect, attention, and care become visible, whether in a professional meeting, a formal dinner, an official visit, or the everyday rituals of family and social life.
Each engagement begins with careful listening. Training is then shaped around the cultural context, level of formality, and situation at hand. Rather than following a fixed syllabus, programs draw on an established range of themes and practical topics, with emphasis placed where it will be most useful to each client.
