Lizzie Post Emily Post’s great-great-granddaughter and the author of How Do You Work This Life Thing? (April 2007, Collins).
Inspired by Lizzie’s own experiences as a college student at the University of Vermont, How Do You Work This Life Thing? is a lifestyle guide for young people living on their own for the first time.
Lizzie uses stories of mishaps from her own life, and the lives of her friends, to show the 18-25 year-old crowd the importance of etiquette in building good relationships with bosses, landlords, roommates, neighbors, friends and significant others. As Lizzie points out, communication, compromise, and commitment are the key ingredients in making these relationships work. She also explains that etiquette is truly about building relationships, establishing boundaries and improving your life, not about which fork to use.
Lizzie is a graduate of the Emily Post Children’s Train the Trainer Program and has worked with students from second grade through high school teaching table manners, introduction skills, and how etiquette can make a difference.
Lizzie is an in-demand source of modern etiquette advice for newspapers, magazines, television, radio and the Web. Her interviews include The Today Show, Weekend Today,
The Tyra Banks Show, People, Glamour, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Times,
The Christian Science Monitor, the Associated Press, Redbook, USWeekly.com, and
Martha Stewart Living Radio.
Lizzie also writes about 20-something life and etiquette at her blog “Not Gonna Lie…”
She covers all the ups and downs of living with roommates, traveling for business, getting along with neighbors, dinner parties with friends, and much more.
Lizzie holds a Bachelor of Science degree in art education and currently lives in her native Vermont where she works for The Emily Post Institute.
