Transform your Professional & Social Interactions
Business Etiquette training empowers emerging leaders to build a culture of respect, empathy and collaboration that sets them apart in today's workplace
BOOST ACADEMY OF EXCELLENCE
Turning everyday teams and individuals into extraordinary professionals
At Boost Academy of Excellence, we turn everyday professionals into extraordinary ones.
In today’s hybrid, multigenerational workplace, technical skills will get you in the door – but professional presence, communication, and business etiquette are what get you promoted, respected, and remembered. That’s the gap we exist to close.
Boost Academy of Excellence was built on a simple belief: the unwritten rules of professional success matter just as much as the ones on your résumé.
Trained by the Emily Post Institute in business etiquette principles, we partner with HR leaders and executives to deliver workshops, training, and coaching programs that equip early- to mid-career talent with the practical skills to show up with confidence, communicate with clarity, and build genuine connections.
The result? A workplace culture where respect, civility, and confidence drive every interaction – setting your organization apart.

Meet Our Founder AND ceo
Transforming professional interactions with expertise and passion
I’m Trina Boos, founder of Boost Academy of Excellence, where I help organizations elevate their teams through leadership training, workplace etiquette, and professional presence development. Previously, I built and scaled Boost Agents to a seven-figure recruitment agency, placing thousands of marketing, creative, and digital professionals with Fortune 500 companies, global financial institutions, and top-tier advertising agencies – achieving a 98% candidate retention rate. As founder of Ad Lounge, I grew a community of 5,000+ advertising professionals and pioneered programs including the “Next Gen Dinner Series,” “DishCourse,” and “Conversuasion,” connecting emerging leaders with C-suite executives and raising $120K for youth charity Sketch.
Through 24+ years building businesses and developing talent, I’ve witnessed how professional presence and workplace civility transform careers and business outcomes. In today’s hybrid work environment, mastering communication, etiquette, and leadership skills isn’t just nice to have – it’s essential for building trust, credibility, and competitive advantage.
Trained by the Emily Post Institute, I deliver corporate training, executive coaching, and career advisory services that transform how professionals show up and lead. I also host Boosted, a podcast revealing the unwritten rules of professional success. Let’s work together to elevate your team’s professional presence and drive measurable results. My work has been featured in the Toronto Star, Financial Post, and Women of Influence.
