What is the legacy of etiquette and charm schools?
You know, I was always like between really different cultures and trying to figure out how to fit in, right, which is kind of the one thing about like being human, right, human connection and belonging. And so it was very much a survival tool for me to be in different microcultures and figure out, OK, how do I how do I fit in? What are the codes of conduct here? What is the how are people dressed? What is the slang used? And later on, when I graduated from Harvard Business School in 2012, I well, first I went to a Swiss finishing school, which is it was where women used to go back in the day because we didn't have the opportunity to go to college. And so women would finish the education at these finishing schools. It's mostly in Europe, but in America, you have CHOM school.
You have etiquette schools very much in America too back in the day. And now, you know, women are emancipated. Women can vote. Women go to university. So we no longer go to these finishing schools. But for me, going to finishing school and starting a finishing school in China for women, because we don't do kids, we do adult women. It was an opportunity I wanted to combine what I was passionate about with what I felt was a market need because no other country has been like China where they've gone through so much change in such a short amount of time. Like when you think about the Industrial Revolution, right, that alone took 150 years to play out in Europe.
