Diverse Background
Taylor is an American with European roots who received education in the United States, Italy, and Switzerland. She holds several degrees, certifications, and licenses from prestigious institutions worldwide. Her background includes an undergraduate degree in international affairs, a Masters in international affairs, an MBA in international business, and formal training in etiquette and protocol. She is also certified as a life coach, emotional intelligence coach, and NLP practitioner, with certificates in personal and fashion styling.
After working for over a decade in international public relations, managing 22 markets on five continents, Taylor decided to focus on raising her daughter. Later, she established her own consulting company, leveraging her skills in cultural sensitivity, emotional intelligence, communication, and awareness. Her company, which specializes in etiquette, was founded in 2019 with a desire to give back to society and remove the stigma surrounding etiquette. Taylor believes that etiquette is crucial in building relationships and developing business, and that it is not an outdated, irrelevant, or exclusive practice but rather a set of skills that can help anyone succeed in their personal and professional lives.
Inception of the Elegance Advisor
Taylor struggled with imposter syndrome when starting her Elegance Advisor Consultancy after receiving her diploma in etiquette and protocol. She coaches a mindset using etiquette, effective communication, and personal branding to develop an individual’s growth and self-development. She initially struggled with presenting etiquette as a tool for everyone but eventually took a leap forward and approached it in her way. The pandemic offered an ideal time for her business to offer something of interest and need as people became more introspective.

Taylor believes that innovation is the key to business success, as it creates new opportunities for revenue and growth. In today’s rapidly changing environment, it is crucial to foster a culture of innovation, where colleagues naturally seek out new ideas and solutions.
Leadership Insights
As a business founder and director, Taylor is responsible for various tasks that include developing a vision for the company, inspiring and guiding the team, making critical decisions, establishing financial goals, managing risk, and tackling difficult situations. Additionally, she must ensure that other staff members perform their duties effectively, maintain the financial stability of the organization, explore new revenue streams, and prioritize meeting the needs of clients through her team.
According to Taylor, effective leadership involves fostering a team process that is collaborative, constructive, flexible, and enlightened. This approach emphasizes intelligent guidance rather than heroic actions. Taylor believes that success is achieved through healthy teamwork and that organizations that prioritize a culture of cooperation and teamwork tend to achieve more than those that rely solely on individual heroes. By promoting a culture of teamwork, Taylor aims to create an environment where everyone works together towards common goals, where everyone’s ideas and contributions are valued, and where there is a shared sense of responsibility for the organization’s success.
Advice for Budding Leaders
Taylor shares valuable insights on effective leadership for those entering a leadership position for the first time. Taylor advises to exercise patience, remain confident without appearing arrogant, continuously learn, listen attentively, and be flexible. A well-planned and clear vision for the company is also crucial for effective leadership. To inspire those around you to be productive and successful, honesty, sincerity, kindness, and humility are essential in interactions with employees to gain their trust and confidence.
Taylor emphasizes the importance of listening to team members, regardless of position or title, and allowing them to express themselves freely and constructively. It is crucial to maintain good judgment and knowledge while recognizing when to put aside ego for the team’s benefit. As a leader, challenges and difficulties are inevitable, and mistakes will be made, but by focusing on what is most important and making informed decisions at every step, success is achievable. Trusting oneself to make the right decisions, even if they differ from others’ opinions, is also vital.
