Biography
Anthonette Klinkerman, aka "Colonel" Klinkerman, has been bringing common courtesy back to the workplace since 2009. With humor, grace, and a no-nonsense drill sergeant persona, the common courtesy drills presented by Courtesy Bootcamp(TM) have been enthusiastically received by two Colorado cities, and numerous business staffs, and even earned a client a national award in Human Resources.
Klinkerman was recently nominated for Business of the Year and Woman of the Year by the Denver Tech Center Colorado Business Women's organization for 2012.
Klinkerman has been a public school teacher for 14 years, and has been teaching English Literature to at-risk youths for the past six years. She developed and planned curriculum for her "Adventure Literature" class featuring a never-before taught book after convincing her principal that this was exactly the type of literature reluctant readers would devour. Her instincts were correct, and visits from the author herself left students nearly reeling in disbelief.
Klinkerman hails from Southern Californina originally, having had moved to Colorado in 2000. She continues to teach, enjoys writing articles for various publications, raising her daughter, and golfing with her husband, as well as skiing when the snow is just right.

Courtesy Bootcamp™: a not-so-gentle reminder to live by The Golden Rule
This crash course in courtesy provides audiences with several learning objectives: 1. Creating awareness of the monetary costs of a lack of civility in the workplace. 2. Creating a cohesive workplace by utilizing reminders that the people one works with are just as important as those one works for. 2. Creating an awareness of daily behaviors that exclude common courtesies. 3. Remedies for discourteous daily behaviors to remind participants to treat others as they would wish to be treated.
