Quoted in The Media Conde Nast Traveler / November 2010
Robert Hickey quoted in "Etiquette 101: What Gives" Sara Tucker, November 2010
"In our abundant culture, where everybody has so much, gifts don't mean as much as they do elsewhere in the world," says Robert Hickey, deputy director of the Protocol School of Washington. "A gift should be a distilled symbol of your relationship." In exchange for his gift to Brown, the president scored a first-edition biography of Winston Churchill in seven volumes, a framed commission for the H.M.S. Resolute, and a penholder. The penholder was only the latest artifact in a story going back to 1855, when the Resolute was rescued by an American whaler and later returned to England. A desk made from its timbers was presented to President Rutherford B. Hayes by Queen Victoria and has been used by American presidents ever since. The gift to Obama was crafted from the wood of the Resolute's sister ship, the Gannet, which once went on anti-slavery missions off Africa. The symbolism here is indeed exquisite. "It was only a penholder, but it was infused with meaning," says Hickey. "That was a brilliant gift."
"W" Magazine / June 2009
Robert Hickey interviewed in the Editor's Blog. "Five Minutes With A Master of Protocol" wmagazine.com, Haven Thompson, June 12, 2009
“The world may be flat, but people at the top of the pecking order don't think so. So if you're sitting next to a baroness, it would be fun to know what to call her. And wouldn't it be fun to have a good conversation with her?"

“It’s always the substance of the conversation that is the most important thing, but it is interesting how often these titles and things determine how the conversation goes,” says Hickey

Teaching in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
I was teaching an International Protocol Manager Training with The Protocol School of Washington® June 28-July 1, 2010 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in a training under the patronage of The Protocol Department of His Highness the Ruler of Dubai. There were students from the U.A.E. (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah, and Sharjah), Oman, Qatar, Lebanon, and even one who came from the U.S.A.
Below is a photo of me on the back terrace of the Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi (with the Persian Gulf in the background). It was about 110 degrees F and very humid, so I wasn't out there for long.
And also there's a photo of the International Protocol Manager class on the 124th floor observation deck of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world in Dubai, U.A.E. I'm the tallest person, back left, wearing the red tie.
