Nanna Knows Best Workshops

Overview

There's a lot to be learnt from ladies of a certain age. No doubt you've picked up some pearls of wisdom from the grandmothers in your life over the years, whether they're about how best to iron a button-up shirt or the ways of the wider world. A workshop series, Nanna Knows Best, aims to share some of that nana knowledge with the community and teach young'uns about that all-important, old-fashioned manners stuff. It's a crash course in communication, etiquette and presentation and it's led by deportment expert Pat Woodley, who held the titles of Miss NSW and Miss Australia back in 1951.

We've heard it before: our generation is a pack of socially awkward, obnoxious web-dwellers more comfortable on our smartphones than conversing IRL (or on the phone). But Woodley is fairly optimistic about our capacity to regain the social skills of days gone by. She promises to school young folk in conversing confidently and 'boosting their powers of attraction'. Apparently that last bit's about more than having a smokin' Tinder profile.
