SEPTEMBER 2025
Welcome to the Protocol Monthly Magazine
In the September issue of Protocol Monthly Magazine, we explore the traits, strategies, and mindsets that define today’s most effective protocol professionals.
We begin with Behavioral Intelligence as a Leadership Skill in Diplomacy and International Business, highlighting the quiet power of emotional insight and adaptability. In Why Continuing Education Is Essential for Protocol Professionals, we make the case for lifelong learning in a rapidly evolving world.
You’ll also find a practical guide to University Protocol Gifting, a compelling reminder in Trust as the Strongest Strategy, and a fresh perspective in Keeping Protocol Light—because protocol doesn’t have to mean rigid formality. The Subtle Art of Persuasion in Protocol rounds out our features with a thoughtful look at how influence can be just as powerful as authority.
Our monthly columns return with:
Mastering Leadership urging us to Break the Rules (intentionally),
Developing Success focusing on Communication and Speaking with Professionalism, and
Lessons in Protocol History examining The Israel–Turkey Seating Incident—a powerful example of how visual protocol can escalate tensions.
This issue offers fresh insight, global perspective, and actionable strategies to elevate your protocol practice.
Read, learn, and stay ahead in the ever-evolving world of protocol!
