11 Old Money Manners That Elevate Your Style
About this video
Centeno teaches how proper manners and etiquette can elevate a man’s overall style and image. He covers old-money behaviors including handwritten thank-you notes, remembering names, making introductions, avoiding polarizing topics, speaking clearly and calmly, cultivating intellectual interests, and practicing punctuality and discretion.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that sending handwritten notes is a simple but powerful habit that differentiates you and creates lasting positive impressions in both personal and business relationships
- Centeno recommends specific techniques for remembering names—writing them down, saying names aloud during conversation, and associating names with personal characteristics—because names are arbitrary and difficult for the brain to retain
- Centeno emphasizes that old-money etiquette involves avoiding bragging about money, not correcting others publicly, actively listening during disagreements, and being gracious when receiving criticism, all of which demonstrate respect and humility
