SUMMARY:Global Dialogue | The Power of Diplomacy | Marshall | Jun 1
DESCRIPTION:The Tennessee World Affairs Council\n\nin association with\nBelmont University Center for International Business and the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce present\nGlobal Dialogue\nThe Power of Diplomacy\n \nwith\nAmbassador Capricia Penavic Marshall\nAmbassador-in-Residence\, Atlantic Council and Former Chief of Protocol of the United States at the White House and Author of “Protocol: The Power of Diplomacy”\n\n\n \nWith Host\n \n\nKelly O’Connor\, CFRE\nMember of the Board\, Tennessee World Affairs Council\nJun 1\, 2021 @ 7 pm CT\nGlobal Dialogue | The Power of Diplomacy | Marshall | Jun 1\n \n\n\n\n\n \nChief of Protocol of the United States \nThe body of law\, customs and practices governing diplomatic conduct is called protocol. It is derived from the Greek words proto (first) and collon (glued)\, meaning that the first page of a manuscript\, often serving as a summary of a treaty or diplomatic dispatch\, must be glued to the outside of the document or volume. \nThe State Department first appointed a full-time protocol officer in 1916 and established the Office of the Chief of Protocol on February 4\, 1928. In 1946\, the President commissioned the State Department’s Chief of Protocol to also carry the title “Chief of Protocol of the White House.” Since 1961\, the Chief of Protocol has been commissioned an Ambassador\, requiring the President’s nominee to be confirmed by the Senate. \n\nProtocol: The Power of Diplomacy and How to Make it Work for you\n\nPresident Obama’s former United States chief of protocol looks at why diplomacy and etiquette matter—from the international stage to everyday life. \nHistory often appears to consist of big gestures and dramatic shifts. But for every peace treaty signed\, someone set the stage\, using hidden influence to effect the outcome. In her roles as chief of protocol for President Barack Obama and social secretary to President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton\, Capricia Penavic Marshall not only bore witness to history\, she facilitated it. From arranging a room to have an intended impact on the participants to knowing which cultural gestures earned trust\, her behind-the scenes preparations laid the groundwork for successful diplomacy between heads of state around the world and tilted the playing field in her team’s favor. \nIf there’s one thing that working at the highest levels of government for over two decades has taught Marshall\, it’s that there is power in detail and nuance—the micro-moves that affect the macro-shifts. When seemingly minor aspects of an engagement go missing or awry—a botched greeting or even a poorly chosen menu—it alters the emotions and tenor of an exchange\, setting up obstacles rather than paving a way forward. In some cases\, an oversight may put the entire endeavor in jeopardy. \nSharing unvarnished anecdotes from her time in office—harrowing near misses\, exhilarating triumphs\, heartwarming personal stories—Marshall  brings us a master class in soft power\, unveiling the complexity of human interactions and making the case that etiquette\, cultural IQ\, and a flexible mind-set matter now more than ever. When the notion of basic civility seems to be endangered\, Protocol reminds us how critical these principles are while providing an accessible guide for anyone who wants to be empowered by the tools of diplomacy in work and everyday life. \n–Amazon.com \n\n\nAmbassador Capricia Penavic Marshall \nCapricia Penavic Marshall serves as Ambassador-in-Residence at the Atlantic Council  in Washington\, DC.

He is dedicated to providing all Americans with access to travel information\, and has made extensive resources available for free on the Rick Steves’ Europe website\, via the Rick Steves Audio Europe™ app\, and in Rick Steves Classroom Europe™\, a searchable database of short\, teachable video clips. \nA longtime supporter of public broadcasting\, Rick produces and hosts public television and radio shows that air across the nation. \nRick is the founder and owner of Rick Steves’ Europe (RSE)\, a travel business with more than 100 full-time employees. RSE operates a successful tour program which brings more than 30\,000 people to Europe annually. The company contributes annually to a portfolio of climate-smart nonprofits\, essentially paying a self-imposed carbon tax. \nRick works closely with several advocacy groups and makes regular financial contributions to more than 170 organizations\, including annual contributions to Bread for the World. He is a board member of NORML and has been instrumental in the legalization of marijuana in several states. He has also provided $8 million in funding to build two new neighborhood centers in his community\, and has donated a 24-unit apartment building for homeless women and their children to his local YWCA. \nRick spends about four months a year in Europe\, researching guidebooks\, fine-tuning his tour program\, filming his TV show\, and making new discoveries for travelers. To recharge\, he plays piano\, relaxes at his family cabin in the Cascade mountains\, and spends time with his son Andy and daughter Jackie. He lives and works in his hometown of Edmonds\, Washington\, where his office window overlooks his old junior high school. \nhttps://www.ricksteves.com \n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/ricksteves/ \n\n\nAmanda Knarr is a member of the Tennessee World Affairs Council Board of Directors \nAmanda Knarr recently moved to Nashville from Washington\, DC.

He is dedicated to providing all Americans with access to travel information\, and has made extensive resources available for free on the Rick Steves’ Europe website\, via the Rick Steves Audio Europe™ app\, and in Rick Steves Classroom Europe™\, a searchable database of short\, teachable video clips. \nA longtime supporter of public broadcasting\, Rick produces and hosts public television and radio shows that air across the nation. \nRick is the founder and owner of Rick Steves’ Europe (RSE)\, a travel business with more than 100 full-time employees. RSE operates a successful tour program which brings more than 30\,000 people to Europe annually. The company contributes annually to a portfolio of climate-smart nonprofits\, essentially paying a self-imposed carbon tax. \nRick works closely with several advocacy groups and makes regular financial contributions to more than 170 organizations\, including annual contributions to Bread for the World. He is a board member of NORML and has been instrumental in the legalization of marijuana in several states. He has also provided $8 million in funding to build two new neighborhood centers in his community\, and has donated a 24-unit apartment building for homeless women and their children to his local YWCA. \nRick spends about four months a year in Europe\, researching guidebooks\, fine-tuning his tour program\, filming his TV show\, and making new discoveries for travelers. To recharge\, he plays piano\, relaxes at his family cabin in the Cascade mountains\, and spends time with his son Andy and daughter Jackie. He lives and works in his hometown of Edmonds\, Washington\, where his office window overlooks his old junior high school. \nhttps://www.ricksteves.com \n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/ricksteves/ \n\n\nAmanda Knarr is a member of the Tennessee World Affairs Council Board of Directors \nAmanda Knarr recently moved to Nashville from Washington\, DC.
