Train to be an International Protocol Specialist
Protocol – The Backdrop for Peace!
The impact of strong international relations is immeasurable and is dependent upon protocol, diplomacy and cross-cultural fundamentals. The International Protocol Institute of California is dedicated to further that endeavor through its comprehensive international training programs. In today’s burgeoning international marketplace, there is an increasing demand for highly trained Protocol Specialists to deliver, timely, customized seminars, briefings and training programs. The rewards of presenting these comprehensive programs to visionary clients and corporations have proven to be extremely beneficial to the recipients, along with being personally fulfilling for the Protocol Specialist.
For business professionals, diplomats, chiefs of protocol, government officials and entrepreneurs, who will be interacting with high-level international clients, dignitaries and delegations, “manners” are cultural and there are numerous opportunities for misunderstandings to arise. Even with the best intentions, people may inadvertently offend. Polished professionalism can do wonders for a company’s /organization’s / country’s image and for the individual’s confidence and growth within their industry.

Our Clients Say it Best
“It was a fantastic program that I have ever come across so far and hope it continues to help others the way it has helped us. In fact for me, it was really a very good insight as I come with the practical knowledge of being a part of the protocol industry, however, I haven’t been a part of a real practical training like this which, not gives you a hands-on, but also prepares you well. I am sure with this training, I will be able to do something better in the future.”"Dubai - Train to be an International Protocol Specialist"

Fatima Al Mutawa, Marketing Specialist, Abu Dhabi Ports, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
"My meeting with the Vice Chairman and his staff in Tokyo went very well. Our conversation, and the research you provided, helped make the trip a success, both during the official meetings and the “casual” dinners. Being able to select the proper gift, greet them in their language, and to import an understanding of their culture really impressed them. The training was also helpful in looking beyond the stereotypes. Traveling to a foreign country for the first time can be nerve-racking, let alone making a presentation to senior staff. Thanks again for providing a good foundation from which I could excel."
K. W., MAPPS, Director, Sony Electronics Inc.

The confidence I gained from knowing what to do and when to do it, in both business and social settings, was invaluable to me. I would highly recommend her services to individuals or companies who would benefit from one-on-one coaching on her Executive Presence Program."
