Masterclass on business protocol set June 19 for Board and Management

MANILA, Philippines - Protocol is the universal language of diplomacy with a set of rules all countries and parties follow in the conduct of business, politics, and socials. A mastery of this will enable you to handle any type of person in all kinds of situation whether you are in marketing or management, negotiating or entertaining guests, friends or clients, dealing with people of different cultures, meeting with VIPs, foreign dignitaries and government officials, or simply chatting with one’s in-laws. Believe it or not, protocol spells the difference between success and failure in business, in your career and in your personal life.

Historically, this was only taught exclusively for diplomats, ambassadors and their protocol officers when they have to deal with governments and nations.  With the clamour of business leaders and government officials to learn this important subject, the Center for Global Best Practices (CGBP) in collaboration with the International Chamber of Commerce is holding a special seminar entitled, “Best Practices in Business Protocol” on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Peninsula Hotel, Makati City. Full details of the program may be obtained from website www.cgbp.org or Manila telephone (02) 556-8968/ 69, Cebu (032) 512-3106 to 07 and Baguio at (074) 423-5148.  

When you know your protocol, you command more respect and gain a mark of distinction as someone with education, class, finesse and skilled at handling different types of people and situations. Mastery of protocol shows your gravitas! It matters that you are conducting yourself in the right way in events including product launches, signing ceremonies, ribbon-cutting, conferences, business meetings, planning sessions and other important occasions.
