"Mina is paving the way for a better, stronger future for many individuals with her quality and outstanding service. She genuinely cares for people and applies the knowledge and skills she teaches and nowadays, that’s rare to find. That’s why I highly recommend Prestige Protocol. Mina’s knowledge can help individuals, students, professionals, and others acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to grow and sustain strength to advance personally and professionally."

"Mina is a genuine professional. I was fortunate enough to attend a session with her and she advised me with a plethora of business etiquette. I have learned that it's the simple things that make a difference. I was able to take away the importance of a "thank you" card and in return I was able to land prestigious inside sales position for a major sports team. Her session alone was valuable and I highly recommend young inspiring individuals to attend an event or have a conversation you will learn a lot."

"Mina es una “Mina” de amor por el projimo! Kindness and dedication towards humanity is her motto. She’s not only devoted to empower students but also loves to give back to every individual that has the privilege to cross her path. Mina es una “Lifetime Servant Leader” en todo los sentidos and very resourceful. In the summer of 2017, Mina and I met at a leadership bootcamp hosted by the Einstein Group and stayed connected. Thanks to Mina I learned the importance and the art of business etiquette, which is a must for all current and future leaders."

"Mina goes to great lengths by creating family-friendly atmospheres at her events where people of all ages and backgrounds learn proper dining, and I couldn't be anymore grateful for all the experiences I've had thus far. On top of being a guest of hers, I also had the opportunity to work and collaborate with Mina on various marketing projects for Prestige Protocol during my junior and senior year. As typical of students, sometimes we go for the easiest or cheapest route towards our goals and what Mina has taught me is that attention to detail is a crucial part of life ... no one is perfect, but there is always room for edits!"

"Mrs. Mina Martínez and I came from different states to attend CHCI. She shared that she came to #CHCI2018 Leadership Conference inspired and prepared to connect with diverse leaders in the classroom, community and workforce. It was an incredible 2 days recognizing the contributions & accomplishments of leading Latinx, Hispanic, “people of color” individuals and organizations in various fields while celebrating cultural pride.

I participated in Mina's Etiquette Tips for Social & Business Dining at Casa Sanchez promoted by SHESS CSULA around December 2017. She enthusiastically taught us dining etiquette in a professional setting, providing explanations as to why they should be performed! Since it was also near Christmas, my bosses had personally given me Christmas cards and I asked for her advice in regards to continuing the professionalism and courtesy. She recommended I return the gesture by handwriting personal thank you cards to them. Oh, were they excited!

"I met Mina Martinez in April 2015 at the University of Southern California during the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineer’s Regional Leadership Development Conference, where she passionately delivered a 5-star quality workshop in Dining Etiquette as founder of Prestige Protocol for the conference attendees, such as myself. From learning about her journey, it has been inspirational to learn that Mina has been positively and highly impactful in educating underrepresented communities in her flawless work with Business Etiquettes and International Protocol. It is a great honor, privilege, and pleasure to testify that Mina Martinez has served as an excellent bilingual role model for her audiences, which have included members from The Boeing Company, the County of Los Angeles, and the international Latino community."

"I was lucky enough to be introduced to Mina and Prestige Protocol through a professional development event sponsored by the USC Latino Alumni Association. During the event, attendees learned dining and social etiquette in order to effectively network and create stimulating, productive conversation. Now having entered the professional world after graduating, I can say that the etiquette course was extremely beneficial! There are so many small things that make a big difference when dining in more professional settings, and I am glad Mina was able to teach me and many other young minority professionals sufficient knowledge in order to succeed. Mina is also extremely personable and I am thankful for her mentorship."
