AfroProtocol was started with a view to groom and prepare African Leaders and Company CEO's and MD's for the pressure of the public eye and their responsibilities in representing their country correctly. Protocol deals primarily with the facilitation of relationships on an international scale. There are number or responsibilities that have to be fulfilled in order to host your international partners. Rules with regards to the manner and place in which you greet these guests, who greets them, where do you seat them, organising agendas to align with negotiations and cultural experiences as well as many other topics. It is an extremely interconnected web of information that can seem daunting without the proper knowledge and training. Without this knowledge you may unknowingly cause offence often resulting in shame, dishonour and disrespect to your country or organisation. The cost to you may be extremely expensive due to loss of lucrative contracts and potential opportunities. AfroProtocol provides you with the knowledge to host VIP’s of every level. It allows you the confidence to navigate this highly complex environment, mingling and conversing on an equal footing with world super powers, Presidents, Ambassadors, Diplomats and Executives of International Corporations. This affords you the calm reassurance of performing your job professionally and effortlessly.
