A three-day in-person etiquette programme designed specifically for teenage girls is coming to Riyadh at the end of June. The course is led by Christine Pearce, a British etiquette consultant whose client list includes prominent figures and members of royal households around the world. Sessions run on 29 and 30 June, and 1 July 2026, hosted under the Life programme banner.
For families in the UAE, the dates fall comfortably inside the summer break and Riyadh is a short flight from Dubai or Abu Dhabi, putting the workshop within reach for parents looking at structured personal-development options for their daughters.
What the Programme Covers
The Teen Etiquette Programme is built to develop four core areas in young women:
- Confidence in social and professional settings
- Poise in how they present themselves and carry conversation
- Social intelligence for navigating peers, family events, and public moments
- Practical life skills for an increasingly connected, scrutinised world
The framing matters. This is not a traditional finishing-school format that teaches table settings and curtsies in isolation. Pearce’s stated approach focuses on helping teenagers communicate clearly, present themselves with grace, and build relationships that hold up over time. The skills are meant to be portable, useful in school, university interviews, family gatherings, and eventually the workplace.
About Christine Pearce
Christine Pearce is a certified international etiquette trainer with over 18 years of experience delivering programmes to individuals, families, and organisations globally. Her work has taken her into the training and refinement of prominent figures and royal household members across multiple countries, which is unusual access in a field where credibility is built case by case.
Her reputation rests on three pillars highlighted in the programme materials:
- More than 18 years of experience
- Royal and VIP client training
- A specific focus on empowering future leaders, particularly young women
What sets her teen work apart, according to her own description, is the blend of expertise, real-world experience, and storytelling. Teenagers respond to people who can hold a room without lecturing, and Pearce’s training style leans toward engagement rather than instruction.
Why It Matters for Gulf Families
Personal development for teenagers has shifted in the last decade. Social media has put young people in front of audiences at an age when most of us were still figuring out how to enter a room. Universities and competitive internships now factor in soft skills like communication and presence alongside grades.
For families across the Gulf, particularly those with international ambitions for their children, programmes like this fill a gap that traditional schooling rarely addresses directly. Riyadh has become a meaningful hub for this kind of high-touch training, and UAE families increasingly travel to attend specialist workshops there.
