Welcome to the Protocol Monthly Magazine
The November 2026 issue of Protocol Monthly Magazine explores how protocol supports diplomacy, leadership, professional identity, and institutional representation across very different settings.
The issue begins with Beyond the Handshake, which looks at protocol as a tool for cultural understanding, communication, and modern diplomacy. Insights on Protocol, Events, Leadership, and Institutional Relations examines how protocol strengthens organizational credibility and relationships through thoughtful event leadership. Sports Protocol in Saudi Arabia then explores the growing role of protocol in Saudi sport, where leadership, stakeholder engagement, cultural identity, and institutional image increasingly come together.
Your Professional Presence Travels With You considers how judgment, appearance, and behavior continue to represent us throughout business travel, while The Profession We Chose to Stay In reflects on the many paths into protocol and the growing role of experience, education, credentials, and shared professional standards in shaping the profession’s identity.
Our recurring columns conclude the issue with Mastering Leadership on the difference between “pull” and “push” leadership, Developing Success on the professional value of asking for help, and Lessons in Protocol History on Queen Elizabeth II’s 1953 coronation and the way television transformed the audience for traditional ceremony.
Read, learn, and stay ahead in the ever-evolving world of protocol!
