Ready to enter St James and the clubs in my club jacket and jubilee tie. Networking with social and business connections is a valuable part of my ecosystem.
I was heading to The East India Club, a private members club in the heart of London’s clubland. Founded in the middle of the 19th century, its original members were the servants of the East India Company and Commissioned Officers of Her Majesty’s Army and Navy.
I have been working with several well-known personalities in business, our community and international relations etc. One of them told me you need to have a great conversation opener.
Today I am a primrose. The "favourite flower" of Benjamin Disraeli, and so became associated with him.
I am preparing my working weekend in Stockholm with two board-related assignments and a strategy planning session, as well as a black tie event celebrating 100 years of fellowship.
What should I choose? Red tuxedo jacket in velvet with plain jacket lapels. Or a black model in velvet with detailed jacket lapels.
The Hall of Mirrors is a magnificent ballroom at the Grand Hotel, Stockholm, inspired by the Galerie des Glaces in the Palace of Versailles. At this venue, the Nobel Prize ceremony and banquet traditionally took place until 1929. This heritage-rich piece of cultural history in Stockholm hosted all guests at the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kingdom of Sweden. H.E. Ambassador Sergey Nurtayev and Mrs. Ekaterina Nurtaeva welcomed H.E. Honorary Consul Joakim Dahl with his wife. Photo by: Cawa Media - December 14, 2022
