A presence and etiquette experience built for this moment.
By Aunt T. Bougie | BougieBUILT™
There’s a quiet crisis happening among our young men-
They’re expected to lead, but rarely shown how.
They’re told to be respectful, but not always taught what that looks like in action.
They’re praised for strength, but not always equipped to lead with integrity.
This season, the call is clear:
It’s time to build young men who are POISED™.
What is POISED™?
POISED™ is a seasonal etiquette + presence experience for adolescent boys ages 10-18.
This is where modern masculinity meets timeless values – a refined, relevant, and real-world workshop that teaches young men:
📍 How to communicate clearly and respectfully
📍How to carry themselves with self-awareness and style
📍 How to navigate social settings with discernment and confidence
📍 How to listen, lead, and lift others up
📍 How to practice digital, dining, and professional etiquette
📍 How to own the room – without overpowering it
🔑 Why It Matters Right Now
We’re raising boys in a fast-paced world with slower-growing guidance.
Screens have replaced mentorship.
Clicks have replaced courtesy.
And the cost is showing – in how our sons, students, and siblings navigate school, friendships, and self-image.
POISED™ isn’t just a course.
It’s an intervention.
A refinement experience that builds character, confidence, and composure from inside out.
⏱️ This Season’s Signature Workshop:
“POISED™: Leading With Presence, Living With Purpose”
This seasonal program is designed to meet young men where they are and guide them toward who they’re becoming.
Through 90-minute virtual sessions, live demonstrations, dialogue, and real-life scenarios, participants practice:
✨ Shaking hands with confidence
✨ Handling peer pressure with self-respect
✨ Speaking up without showing out
✨ Dressing with intention, not just trend
✨ Leading with honor in both public and private settings
This is not your average ‘manners class.”
It’s lifestyle leadership for the next generation of gentlemen.
🎓 POISED™ = Presence. Order. Integrity. Style. Elegance. Discipline.
These aren’t just words.
They’re values that shape how a young man shows up in the world – at school, at work, in relationships, and in life.

A Word from Aunt T. Bougie™
“They’re not just learning how to tie a tie -
They’re learning how to
show up, stand up, and stay grounded in who they are.
That’s POISED™.”
