Here on the Diplomatic Dance website,
we welcome you from all over the globe and around the corner in
Washington, D.C.
I have been fascinated with diplomacy ever since
my mother first introduced me to Embassy Row as a young girl. I've
always wanted to know what's happening behind those imposing embassy
gates. As a broadcaster and a writer, I've been welcomed into the
sitting rooms and private offices of some of the most important
and interesting foreign diplomats in the world.
Today, the world is one place and on one time
and we are all in this together more than ever before. News travels
instantly, our stock markets are intertwined, more corporations
are global, more marriages cross national borders, more children
have dual heritages and today's students and young professionals
move around the world as if it were their own backyard.
Foreign ambassadors posted here in Washington--still
the #1 diplomatic post in the world--work night and day and often
around the clock, depending on how far away they are from
their home country and how big the crisis.
Top ambassadors are as efficient and visionary
as our top CEO's. They and their spouses keep family together and
friends in touch with open e-mail, powerful cell phones and clever
shopping habits. They know how to entertain elegantly on a moment's
notice and on a limited budget. They are on the cutting edge of
global living.
I love to share my professional and personal
experiences on Embassy Row with others, both as a speaker and as
a journalist, and it was because of this love that I was asked to
write my book, Diplomatic
Dance: The New Embassy Life in America.
I am delighted to now be able to share these experiences with
an even larger audience through this website. I invite you to explore
my website, and to enjoy my book, Diplomatic
Dance: The New Embassy Life in America.
I continue to write and speak on diplomacy and
Embassy Row. Stories and books I am currently researching are listed
above under "Publications
and Projects." If you are looking for an event or conference
speaker please refer to my "Speaker"
page and my GAIL SCOTT &
CO. website. If you are a reporter or a student interested in
this field, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for visiting my website, and again,
Welcome to the "Diplomatic Dance,"
