good diplomat

I was able to gain enlightenment on what diplomacy entails and how to be a good diplomat.

", "What makes a good diplomat?"

I also learnt qualities of a good diplomat and their importance to successful negotiation.

really helpful in expanding your knowledge base in diplomacy in general I would have liked to see some more videos on diplomatic case studies and methods to practically develop the qualities of a good diplomat.

The course is very interesting, it contains very important and new information that is outside the conventional definition people give to diplomacy; as it not only talks about the ethics and the work of a diplomat but also foresees the role of diplomacy in future times Amazing course with in-depth analysis of the qualities of a good diplomat .

Absolutely incredible course in diplomacy that gives you a perfect glimpse of understanding how diplomacy works in practice and what achievements you need to posses in order to become a good diplomat.
