The Global Diplomatic Center (GDC) was established to strengthen the resources and tools of Diplomats, government officials and leaders looking to broaden and expand in their careers. Based in Washington DC, the GDC is at the heart of the world of diplomacy and training preeminence. The future is full of bright individuals chasing their dreams.
GDC is the culmination of two decades of excellence. GDC has made great contributions to the international sphere of diplomacy, international relations and global engagement. In fact, the GDC was created to support the work of diplomacy around the world, to create economic prosperity and to bring peace.
The Global Diplomatic Center is built from four foundational pillars. These buildings blocks at the root are what our organization represents and will continue to make advance keeping to our core values. The GDC has developed its expertise around the four pillars, the foundation on which all our training programs are built. The four pillars are: Diplomacy, Leadership, Communication & Digitalization, and Entrepreneurship. These four pillars are essential to achieving excellence in diplomacy and international relations, in addition to socio-economic stability. By applying these pillars to both foreign and internal relations, together we can create national and international security and peace.
Pillar I - Diplomacy
The sector of diplomacy is essential in serving nations and improving the practice of foreign policy globally. Diplomacy is at the heart of foreign affairs, but also touches every part of the government, public institutions, and beyond.
Pilar II - Leadership
The difference between leadership and management is the ability to successfully adapt to change, and to cope with the many challenges of our current global reality, including climate change, the pandemic, economic recessions, water scarcity, etc. This is why studying and mastering leadership skills is important for senior officials, decision makers and executives in the different public, semi-public structures.
Pillar III - Communication & Digitalization
Finally, communication and digitalization make it possible to succeed in diplomacy and leadership by keeping global leaders in alignment. Communication includes all the facets of networking, speaking, negotiation, cooperation and the mastering of foreign languages as well as the fast-evolving technologies that make instant global communication possible.
Pillar IV - Entrepreneurship
The first three pillars—leadership, diplomacy, and communication & digitalization—are indeed essential for diplomatic excellence. However, without a safe and secure environment, they are not sufficient. Providing security is tightly linked to providing jobs and helping new businesses to develop and grow. Therefore, creating a nurturing business environment will help pave the way to foreign investment. Job creation is essential to national stability and social well-being. This is why a fourth pillar to prepare and train aspiring entrepreneurs, and to create a nurturing environment for business, is crucial
