Shenise Truesdell, MPA, is a cognitive behavior professional, certified life coach, author, speaker, and licensed etiquette consultant, dedicated to helping individuals master social competence and emotional regulation. With nearly 2 decades of civil servant experience and a background in government consulting as a procurement professional, she blends her expertise with her passion for teaching civility, diplomacy, and soft skills, supported by her background in cognitive behavior therapy, customer service, and life coaching. Raised by a mother who instilled the power of kindness, self-respect, and the golden rules, Shenise understands firsthand the importance of kindness, strong social skills, and emotional intelligence.
Beyond etiquette consulting, Shenise is also a comedian and an accomplished author. Her hilarious (But transformative!) book series, Girl, Let Go or Be Dragged!, and the GLG Movement, empowers women to embrace self-respect, let go of unhealthy relationships (and ALL things toxic!), and step into their full potential. Her writing, much like her teachings, is rooted in the belief that every woman deserves to be seen, valued, and positioned for success.
Shenise’s holistic approach to etiquette and behavioral sciences is deeply influenced by her faith and belief, creating a transformative experience for those she teaches. Through BEI and her personal work, she continues to inspire, educate, and uplift individuals from all walks of life.
