Pamela Eyring, the President and Owner of The Protocol School of Washington®, an accredited school focusing on international protocol, business etiquette, and communication skills training joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Pamela Eyring discuss the following:
- What is The Protocol School of Washington® (PSOW) and how does it serve businesses and leaders in 2024?
- You have a compelling career history from serving as the first civilian to hold the position of Chief of Protocol at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, to now owning and leading PSOW’s global educational programs. Could you share what has motivated you to move forward in this field over the last 40+ years?
- As someone with experience in both military and professional work with heads of state, four-star general officers, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, leaders in academia, and entrepreneurs from around the globe — what still surprises you about leaders and their teams who may have not yet been trained in ‘protocol’?
- As younger generations enter the workforce, studies have shown that business etiquette as an expected baseline standard has declined. Why do you think protocol as a leadership training criteria is still so important even as today’s business climate becomes a bit more relaxed and less formal?
- The PSOW team is hosting an event in August. Could you share more with us about the upcoming Global Education Summit? Who is invited to attend and what sort of takeaways do attendees receive from the Summit?
- As part of the education you provide at PSOW, what is one tip from among many best practices in business etiquette that you recommend leaders cultivate in their teams and have their staff members show towards one another?
