AFTER THE VISIT

The Advisory 

The Advisory is six months of direct, standing counsel for hosts and delegations turning one visit into a lasting relationship: the follow-up, the next meeting, the return visit.

Where visits go quiet

The visit went well. Everyone said so.

Then the follow-up email that sounded clear in London reads as cold in Buenos Aires. The hosts wait for a formal proposal. The guests wait for a call. Six weeks later, each side assumes the other lost interest.

I've spent over a decade in diplomatic sessions, state visits, trade negotiations and boardrooms between the UK and Latin America. The Advisory keeps that experience on your side between visits: someone who knows your specific rooms, not a system you're left to apply alone.

HOW IT'S DIFFERENT

Before, during, and after.

The Brief

Before. Prepares both sides for one visit.

The Bilateral

During. In the room, so every word lands on both sides.

The Advisory

After. A standing relationship between visits, six mont

What's included

*

Direct access

You reach me directly, not a team.

*

Custom-scoped

Built around the relationship the visit started, not a fixed curriculum.

*

Ongoing

Six months of standing support, through the follow-up and into the next visit.

What The Advisory isn't

Business strategy, pricing or deal advice. That stays with the people who know your business. I work on how both sides engage.

WHO IT'S FOR

For hosts and delegations who plan to meet again

Hosting: UK organisations with recurring Latin American visitors or partners. Trade bodies and agencies following up on inward missions. Government departments managing ongoing bilateral programmes.

Visiting: Latin American organisations turning a first visit into a standing UK relationship. Embassy teams managing a programme of visits. Delegations planning a return trip.

I only take on 4 Advisory roles a year. Secure yours before the calendar fills up.

My Multilateral Way

Six rules I set years ago, when interpreting was the only thing I did. They've held up, so I made room for what Multilateral Studio has grown into.

1- Be useful 

Whether it’s for one day or for five years, I'm on your team. Every session, every system, every book should leave you better equipped than it found you.

2- Be respectful 

Good manners, obviously. But also respect for your work, your goals, and your organisation's culture. I don't parachute in with my own agenda.

3- Be discreet 

The Othello Principle still holds. What happens in the room stays there. That's not a policy, it's the whole job.

4- Be attentive 

The friction that costs you a deal usually lives in a detail nobody's named. I see it before it costs you anything.

5- Be fair and transparent 

Pricing, scope, conflicts of interest: all on the table, all the time. Transparency is how I work better, with you.

6- Be curious 

Over a decade in these rooms and I still learn something new in most of them. The day I stop is the day I stop being useful to you.

'Cecilia clearly weaves her decade of experience receiving Latin American delegations in the UK to provide practical advice on how to optimise your stakeholder interactions across cultures to drive impact.'
