About the Company

Kardon and Company, also known as "Audrey Kardon's Etiquette School of the Palm Beaches", programs are planned for the enhancement of business and professional careers and social self-confidence and poise. It is presented for the renewal of gracious living, from the boardroom to the drawing room, and is staged in the polished setting of fashionable Palm Beach. A structured highly sophisticated curriculum designed specifically for adult men, women executives, professionals, and the advancement of their professional careers. Likewise, the children's programs are an elegant finishing school developed as an adjunct to the academic education for young people.

Kardon Company takes the time to help clients diagnose their company culture and operations to learn where the real problems lie. In addition, developing a customized program to use as a guide for future use. However, we all know that hiring someone to drop in to present a program and then leave usually does not work very well. Most organizational problems do not happen overnight - they have been simmering for weeks and months or longer. In order to make training an integral part of business operations, Kardon and Company specialists needs to focus on three areas: training evaluation, transfer of training and your return on your investment. This is where Kardon and Company comes in, because, "Murphy's Law" in training is that the cost of training usually appears to out weigh the benefits. When a company says they do not have the time or money to train executives and employees, they are really saying that they do not know how to evaluate the effectiveness of training and are not concerned about their bottom line. Training employees and executives are one of the most cost-effective ways for a business to generate positive public relation. Kardon and Company specialists always leave a company with a comprehensive and detailed reference guide to follow, and will always be available for any further assistance.
