is a comprehensive, highly interactive and dynamic two-day international training event, designed to empower your professional, business & diplomatic competency and to sharpen your multi-cultural communication skills.
In today’s global economy international business and diplomatic protocol have assumed an increasingly important role.
The protocol is knowing how to be comfortable and at ease, empowered with confidence and authority in order to make someone feel truly welcomed. Furthermore, the protocol is an art of creating the right environment so that business and diplomacy can be conducted.
The rules of international protocol are intended to maintain courtesy and politeness in international affairs; between governments, international organisations and their officials as well as between corporations, companies and their representatives. Although we witness certain informality in the recent corporate and diplomatic practice, the rules of protocol are strictly interpreted and they should be closely observed. One should never depart from them without a valid reason.
