I took the Executive Certificate in Diplomatic Protocol and Etiquette course at Stanmore School of Business to brush up on my skills before a big business trip to Europe. The course was pretty helpful, and I liked that it was designed for working professionals. The instructors were cool, and the coursework was manageable. One thing that stood out was the section on cultural differences in communication styles - it really made me think about how I approach meetings and negotiations with clients from different backgrounds. The course also covered some interesting topics like gift-giving etiquette and formal event planning. My only suggestion would be to add more interactive elements, like discussions or group projects, to make the learning experience more engaging. Still, I'd recommend the course to anyone looking for a solid introduction to diplomatic protocol and etiquette.
