Social Grace by nina & june + Leader's Refinery
Executive etiquette for the modern professional
Private sessions and exclusive partnerships designed for young professionals, executives, and organizations seeking to elevate presence, confidence, and professional polish in high-stakes environments.
Born from Experience
Social Grace was born from twenty-five years of walking into rooms where presence was everything.
Client dinners where the conversation either opened doors or quietly closed them. Industry conferences where the professionals who were genuinely remembered were rarely the ones who spoke loudest. Cocktail receptions where ease was either felt immediately or worked at all night.
The curriculum draws from that experience and from formal etiquette study. The goal is presence that feels natural rather than performed. The ability to walk into any room and feel at home in it, the same way you feel at home anywhere that has always belonged to you.
This is for professionals who understand that how you carry yourself in the room matters as much as what you bring to it.
The Experience
Each Social Grace experience is built around a simple premise: confidence in professional and social settings is a practice, and the right environment to cultivate it changes everything.
Participants move through the full landscape of refined professional presence. The art of introductions and first impressions. Composure at the dining table and in the cocktail reception. Conversation that feels natural across professional contexts. Hosting with genuine warmth. The kind of ease that makes everyone around you feel more at ease as well.
Every session is immersive by design. Participants are in the experience, not observing it. The room is curated. The conversation is real. Attendees leave with presence and practice they take with them into every experience thereafter.
Program Formats
Private Sessions
For firms, teams, and organizations ready to invest in the professional presence of their people. Each session is tailored to your industry, your audience, and the rooms they walk into. Held at a restaurant venue or your site. Two to three hours. Twelve to twenty guests.
The Social Grace Immersive
Twice yearly, in March and September, Social Grace convenes a two-day gathering for a small group of professionals ready to go deeper. Relationships. Personal gravity. Dining and conference etiquette. Cocktail culture. The kind of ease that follows you home. Seats are limited and filled by waitlist.
Partnership Opportunities
Social Grace partners with select conferences, firms, and organizations to offer ongoing programming. If you are planning an event and want your attendees to leave with something that outlasts the breakout session, we would be glad to have the conversation.
