The Zimbabwe Institute of Diplomacy (ZID) today conducted a tailored training session for Protocol Officers and Ushers of the African Women Leaders Network (AWLN) in preparation for their upcoming high-level event, which will host VVIP guests and Diplomats. The focus was on Diplomatic, Corporate, Social and Event Management Protocol—critical skills for ensuring elegance, order and professionalism in hosting dignitaries.
The workshop offered hands-on training in VIP handling, professional ushering, seating arrangements, grooming and appearance and respectful communication with dignitaries. Special emphasis was placed on receiving, walking and sending off protocols and maintaining composure and decorum under pressure. The session was a ZID gratis endeavour to capacitate the AWLN’s preparation for the forthcoming high-level event. Mr V. A. Chikanda facilitated the training.
