Elizabeth Anne Russell is a third-generation etiquette instructor and speaker, and is the founder of Mannerly and the Charlotte School of Etiquette. With 16+ years experience in corporate strategy and a lifelong passion for kindness and character, she now teaches others to lead with grace—at home, in the workplace, and in the world.

She’s a UNC Chapel Hill alum with an MBA from Queens University, where she studied alongside her husband, Drew. A proud mother of three, Elizabeth Anne considers parenting her highest calling and believes every child—and every professional—deserves the confidence that comes from knowing how to show up with kindness and respect.

This work is deeply personal. Her mother and grandmother both taught etiquette for more than 30 years. Now, Elizabeth Anne carries that legacy forward by teaching others to move through the world with dignity, empathy, and presence.
