This has been a fascinating journey, in part beyond my expectations. Initially I wanted to see where Rembrandt walked, and sketched, but in this I was thwarted by the modern world. However, the streets of old Leiden where Rembrandt grew up are still quiet and evocative of the past...... Some of the houses like these around the Pieterskerk were where the original Pilgrim Fathers settled, escaping religious persecution in England. From Leiden some of them, including an ancestor of Barack Obama, set sail on the Speedwell, in July 1620, to meet with the Mayflower in Plymouth before attempting to cross the Atlantic (the Speedwell had to be abandoned in Dartmouth).This was a surprise indeed.
We had come a long way from the Golden Age, and my intention to find and emulate the early masters had come unstuck. It was time to withdraw, and to rest a while within the warmth and depth of a Dutch interior. Just down the road, unnervingly on the Brink (which I am relieved to learn means the village green) we found Cafe t' Bonte Paard (The Spotted Horse), where thick pea soup and dark beer smoothed over the wrinkles of post-modernism.The Protocol Institute recently started a minor in modern protocol and relationship management, in a cooperation with The Hague University. During six weeks the students learn how to develop a relationship management strategy and how to translate this strategy into a meeting with the stakeholders. The students of the minor are trained by the Dutch protocol and etiquette experts as well as by behavioural scientists, compliance and ethics officers, cross cultural managers and marketing managers. 'Developing a minor is a lot of work', Jean Paul explained. 'It is a non-commercial activity, supported by many colleagues and meant to further professionalize the business of protocol and relationship management. Let's hope we will succeed!'.
