NOVEMBER 2025
Welcome to the Protocol Monthly Magazine
In the November issue of Protocol Monthly Magazine, we look toward the future of the profession, where learning, culture, and connection come together to define modern protocol.
We begin with The Protocol Learning Suite, a groundbreaking platform that transforms professional development into a continuous journey. It bridges the gap between formal training and daily practice, offering a new model for how protocol professionals learn, grow, and master their craft.
In Why Cultural Intelligence Is Redefining Protocol, Israa Shaheen explores how empathy and awareness have become essential skills in diplomacy, while Making Digital Working Life More Manageable by Brenda Navarro provides practical insight into balancing professionalism and humanity in our digital interactions.
Catalina Bora’s Manners: A Global Asset or an Old-Fashioned Concept? examines the timeless importance of etiquette, and Keith Lipert’s Holiday Gifting reminds us that meaningful gestures and cultural sensitivity remain at the heart of connection.
Our recurring features return with Mastering Leadership reflecting on the power of trust, Developing Success focusing on effective time management, and Lessons in Protocol History revisiting The Fall of the Berlin Wall, a powerful reminder that flexibility and communication often matter most when history turns unexpectedly.
This issue is forward-looking yet grounded, celebrating the balance between progress and principle that defines the art of protocol.
Read now and continue shaping the future of professionalism, diplomacy, and respect.
