New Reflections were great at determining our needs through pre-consultation. The International protocol and diplomacy training and workbook were very comprehensive, well-delivered and tailored to the content that was most relevant to our interactions with international stakeholders.

Everyone who attended was able to learn something new to enhance our confidence in delivering the correct country-specific protocols and increasing our cultural awareness.

The real-life examples provided were relevant and enhanced our learning experience. The training enabled us to take a step back and review how we can improve our communication style with our international audience.
