About Me

Hello, I'm Meriç Savci Lalček, an Etiquette Consultant originally from Antalya, Türkiye, and based in Dubai, UAE, for the past 14 years with my husband and our two daughters.

I hold an MSc in Biology Education from Akdeniz University. My career began in education before moving into aviation, where I worked as a Purser and First-Class Cabin Crew in Türkiye and Dubai, welcoming royal families and VIP guests while developing my expertise in etiquette, elegance, and cultural awareness.

Today, I am a Certified Etiquette Consultant, a proud Member of the International Association of Professional Etiquette Consultants (IAPO), and have completed Children's Etiquette Consultant Training with internationally recognized etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore. I also hold the WSET Level 1 Award in Wines, complementing my expertise in dining, travel, and social etiquette.

Beyond etiquette, my professional background includes:

Nutrition Health Coach
Fitness Belly Dance Instructor
Fashion Model
Neurodiversity Advocate

Currently Studying

I am currently studying The English Manner & Beaumont Etiquette Train the Trainer (Grade One) programme (May–October 2026, pending results), continuing to expand my knowledge in international etiquette, protocol, and professional training.

My passion is helping children, teenagers, and adults develop confidence, kindness, respect, and social skills through modern etiquette education, making etiquette practical, inclusive, and relevant to everyday life.

My Motto

“Inclusion isn't just inviting someone to sit at your table. It's believing they belong there.”

— Mia Carella

Favorite Books

A small library behind my etiquette work: references I return to for protocol, communication, dining, social confidence, and children's manners.

The selection balances timeless protocol with modern communication, so the guidance feels both elegant and useful in daily life.
