How can protocol training propel my career? My current career is a flight attendant in the Air Force. This job has allowed me the opportunity to interact with many high-ranking military, political and international dignitaries. Traveling throughout the various countries and interacting with the cultures has intrigued me to want to learn more about cultural traditions and etiquette. First impressions are crucial when we are greeting the distinguished visitor on each mission. To be successful in in my career field and make the correct impression depends on my knowledge and actions gained through protocol etiquette. On any mission, flight attendant is the first and last person the passengers will greet when arriving and departing the aircraft. The tone of the mission starts with the attitude of the flight attendant. It is my job to ensure the each passenger and crew member has a positive, memorable experience. Protocol is important from the initial greeting, customer service, communication and departure of the passengers. We must remember that we are representing our self, organizations and the distinguished passenger, staff members, the Air Force and the United States. This is especially valued when we are traveling with international dignitaries. flight attendants must have an understanding of protocol and etiquette for those passengers. customer service can always improve with everyone gaining knowledge of the proper protocols. I want to be that person to share and teach protocol etiquette. I've had the opportunity to complete my International Business and Protocol Training through PSOW. this training not only opened my eyes to all aspects of protocol etiquette, dining, international business and career possibilities; but has left a positive, memorable impression that encourages and motivates me to seek out more information and training. Upon completion of protocol training, I've received many opportunities to share this new knowledge. I initiated a quarterly etiquette and protocol training session within the Air Force flight attendant community; I now offer various etiquette training for networking events and just recently received an opportunity to train local Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors. As a graduate of PSOW training course, I now have the confidence, speaking ability and dedication to continue my training and expand my opportunities in the protocol career. I believe the experience of others can only help the future of our cultures socially, professionally and international level. if given the opportunity to attend the Office Protocol Training; this training would allow me a greater ability to continue my protocol education, share my knowledge with co-workers, improve my customer skills as a flight attendant and expand job opportunities. Success of one only begins when the foundation is built with others. PSOW excels at establishing a foundation for all their students and supports their future success. Success can be opbtained when you have knowledge, understanding, and proper use of protocol etiquette. Protocol etiquette starts with each person; it takes on its own characteristics within family, groups, cultures and countries. Protocol has established a base foundation, but is always evolving as a countries grow, technology expands to all groups or cultures th share their thoughts, experiences and ways of life. The end result is when protocol is properly used; each person or group involved can leave with a positive experience. PSOW is there to help establish the standards and share the knowledge.
