Team of Experts

Our Team of Experts are industry specialists who serve as an instructor or guest speaker at our Global Protocol Academy coursework and our graduates.

The final determination for instructor and guest speaker selections is based on the overall need or requested topic(s) during the registration process. This helps us know where to put the weight of the training once the foundation of “must know” has been set.

Selections are typically made up of the following categories and are a part of the customization process:

• Cross-Cultural and/or Country Specific Experts
• Chef and/or Sommelier (Dining Tutorial offsite Activity)
• Japanese Tea Ceremony
• Networking Guru on People Connecting Skills
• Accent Reduction and Language Coach
• Chief of Protocol or Protocol Officer

Inspiration is in the sharing
