WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Anne,

Director of Social Services

I have had the great pleasure of working with Chameleon on several image training projects. They have been delightful to work with and the trainer had a wonderful personality. The Image Etiquette Training was very helpful and received rave reviews from the participants. I definitely plan to work with Chameleon again in the future. I also plan to take advantage of some of their other business trainings as I feel it will be beneficial for our staff.

Lori,

School District 215

In 2017, we hosted our first ever district wide Girl Empowerment Conference in Thornton Fractional Township High School District 215 and Chameleon agreed to be a presenter. Chameleon provided the “ACT Like a Lady, THINK Like a Lady” topics. The girls’ feedback forms indicate they thoroughly enjoyed the trainer's presentation and learned some new tools. I have been impressed with their professionalism and support; in fact, we have invited Chameleon to participate in the conference this year.

Patricia

Wellness Organizer

Chameleon has been a presenter at two of our community events for the Disability Etiquette Training. The audience loved the presentation and found the information to be very helpful. I would definitely recommend their trainings to other organizations. They are very professional and do an excellent job connecting with their audience.

Why Do I Need Civility Training?

At Chameleon Academy, we believe that social graces are tools everyone should have safely tucked away in their toolbox even if you never use them. Understanding common everyday civilities can boost your confidence and help you overcome your fears of advancing to the next level in life. Not understanding how to carry yourself in a new environment can be a hindrance to your success. At Chameleon Academy, we teach you to adapt to your new environment. We never teach you to conform. We believe that you can still be the amazing unique person you were born to be while also knowing how to maintain a sense of decorum amongst your peers. We believe that you can know and adhere to common civilities while displaying your true self and without being "stuffy". We teach fun and relatable classes that will train you to maintain your poise in any situation.
