Join The Etiquette Advocate and Protocol Partners-Washington Center for Protocol for a comprehensive seminar in protocol,
business etiquette and dining dynamics that will enhance your professional image and people skills and train you to greet
and host guests with confidence, recognize and accommodate international customs and courtesies; build strong and effective
business relationships; and move effortlessly from the conference room to the dining room in any environment or country
in the world.
Because 85% of success in business is based on people skills, demeanor and behavior toward others are as important as
education and training, technical abilities and professional competence. Etiquette and protocol skills are required
in order to represent yourself and your organization with poise and confidence. A lack of these skills can lead to
insults, embarrassment, and distractions that prevent you from accomplishing your agenda and reaching your goals.
Successful professionals possess personal skills that make the difference in relationships: confidence, polish and
poise, sensitivity to the expectations and culture of others, and the ability to interpret nuances of customs,
individuals, and situations that require special attention.
The seminar is taught by the three Founding Partners of the Washington Center for Protocol, and includes instruction,
a four-course luncheon with dining etiquette tutorial, and a comprehensive workbook.
Who Should Attend:
This seminar is designed for individuals who are looking for an extra advantage in business; are entering the global
marketplace; want to polish their professional image and people skills; have protocol, events, or meetings and
conferences coordination responsibilities; deal with international clients or colleagues; or whose duties in embassies,
law firms, universities, corporate or non-profit offices, the military, local, state or U.S. government require a
