One-Day English Conversation Course| EMMA DUPONT ETIQUETTE SCHOOL
Cultivating Confidence and Elegance in English Conversation for International Ladies
One-Day English Conversation Course in London
The Emma Dupont Etiquette School's One-Day English Conversation Course in London is thoughtfully designed to help international and British women build confidence in conversation within the framework of traditional British social etiquette. This course empowers participants to navigate both formal and informal social settings with composure and grace, refining their conversational abilities for meaningful interactions.
Social gatherings may be daunting, especially for those with a more introspective nature. However, it is not necessary to change who you are to flourish socially. Emma Dupont, who herself identifies as an introvert, gently guides participants with empathy and personal insight, illustrating how poise and authenticity can coexist beautifully in conversation.
Ladies will learn a structured approach to British small talk, reducing moments of awkwardness and helping to avoid the discomfort of conversational impasses. This English Conversation Course provides practical techniques to build fluency, manage social anxiety, and speak with assurance.
Participants will also be introduced to the nine Enneagram personality types—an insightful tool for recognising and understanding the diverse communication styles of others. This understanding enables more refined and confident interactions, even during challenging or emotionally charged exchanges.
Topics include how to assert personal boundaries with grace, express opinions on delicate issues with decorum, and remain calm under social pressure. From managing casual gatherings to navigating formal events, this class equips women to engage with dignity, elegance, and self-assurance.
As with all of our ladies-only etiquette classes, this English Conversation Course in London imparts the knowledge and tools needed to build one’s power-bubble™, communicate within the etiquette framework™, and make choices aligned with one's values—resulting in an understated yet enduring confidence.
Where is the course held?
This etiquette course in London is hosted at the prestigious In and Out Naval and Military Club, located in the heart of St James’s Square.
Surrounded by some of London’s most historic addresses and private clubs, this refined setting provides a fitting backdrop for a programme centred on elegance, discretion, and personal growth. The club is conveniently located just a short walk from Piccadilly Underground Station, with access to the Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines.

POISED INTRODUCTIONS & SOCIAL GRACES
This module establishes a confident foundation in British social engagement, focusing on the art of first impressions and early interaction. You will learn how to introduce yourself with clarity and ease, navigate handshakes and alternative greetings with discernment, and understand the subtleties of social kissing across different contexts.
Particular attention is given to remembering names, engaging in graceful small talk, and developing a calm, assured persona allowing you to enter social settings feeling composed, self-possessed, and quietly confident.
Outcome: To move through initial social encounters with natural ease, clarity, and personal authority.
WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK?
This module explores the inner foundations of confident communication, guiding participants in defining personal purpose, values, and beliefs. Attention is given to the role of a personal manifesto, self-fulfilling prophecies, and the nature of self-confidence as a magnetic quality.
Participants develop an understanding of personality types through the nine Enneagram philosophy and learn how to navigate differing temperaments with judgement and ease. The module also addresses establishing a clear power-bubble™, responding calmly to challenging conversations, and applying the principles of the etiquette framework™ to support confident, composed communication.
Outcome: Participants gain greater clarity and assurance in conversation, enabling them to communicate with confidence, emotional intelligence, and self-possession across a range of personal and professional interactions.
PREPARATION BEFORE THE EVENT
This module focuses on preparing mentally and conversationally for social and professional occasions. Participants explore how to step into a confident alter ego, become more comfortable speaking about themselves, and understand the three levels of conversation.
Guidance is given on preparing an elevator pitch, initiating conversation with ease, deepening dialogue through thoughtful questioning, and discussing complex or sensitive topics with intelligence and neutrality. The module also develops storytelling skills, supporting engaging, confident communication that feels purposeful rather than performative.
Outcome: Participants feel more prepared and composed ahead of events, with greater confidence in initiating, sustaining, and navigating conversations across a range of settings.
I have lived in the UK for nearly 20 years now, my English is rather fluent, but it took me a surprisingly long time to realise that speaking the language fluently is one thing and a deep understanding of the English culture is quite another.
Your courses gave me lots of knowledge and confidence. It was a pleasure to learn from you as I find your style very appealing and your warm personality shines through during live sessions.
I wish to thank you very much for your work and the courses, I am sure I will be re-watching the videos many times, because they are packed with valuable knowledge.
