"Embracing My ADD: How a Passion for Hospitality Became My Superpower" At 18, I was diagnosed with ADD, a revelation that came thanks to a perceptive math teacher. Throughout high school, my busy life—juggling dance, social activities, and the stigma around ADD—masked my struggles. By the end of my freshman year in college, despite having made many friends, my academic performance was dismal. I was on the brink of failing, which was particularly frustrating given my interest in behavioral psychology and political science. Recognizing my brain worked differently, I transferred to a university closer to home. There, I worked at my aunt’s restaurants, immersing myself in a vibrant hospitality environment. Balancing work and school proved challenging, and I was again struggling academically. However, this period sparked my passion for hospitality and led to a major shift in my career direction. By my fifth year and during an internship at a Houston hotel, I was both determined and anxious about graduating. My father’s words, “Megan, just walk across that stage, your talent is people,” became a turning point. His support made me realize that my grades didn’t define me; my ability to connect with people did. I graduated with a mix of relief and pride, and from there, my career took off. At 24, I became a Director of Sales & Marketing and was honored as DOSM of the Year by Starwood for limited service hotels. By 27, I joined The Venetian Resort, which I believe is the best hotel in the world. My role here continues to challenge and excite me, and I’ve found that the hospitality industry is where my ADD thrives as a unique strength. Hospitality is more than a passion......in the words of Lady Gaga, “I was born this way.”? #CareerJourney #ADD #HospitalityIndustry #PersonalGrowth #FindingYourPassion #motivation

After working in over 8 different jobs—from selling uniforms to retail, F&B, dishwashing and others—primarily for financial reasons, I’m confident to say that my internship and subsequent part-time position with NTUC Club's UPlay Business Development Team has been the highlight of my working journey so far! This experience has been fantastic for my personal growth and professional development, offering a true sense of holistic development beyond just monetary gains. Here are the three key working values I have learned and observed from my colleagues in my department that I would like to share: ? ?????? ???????????????????? ???? ?? ???????????????????? ?????? ?????????????????????????? ??????????????????????. My colleagues have shown me the value of working in a closely-knit department. Everyone tries to bring each other up and help each other, prioritising collective success over individual motives. Despite having busy schedules and deadlines to meet, my superiors always found time to guide me, and were always willing to share their knowledge. This positive work environment fostered collective success and continuous learning. ? ???????????????????? ???? ???????????????????? ?????? ???????? ??????????????. Being between the Business Development and Marketing teams, I have seen how my superiors always strive to deliver the best service to their clients, both externally and internally. They often go the extra mile to provide added value wherever they can, and worked late hours whenever needed to ensure client satisfaction. This has truly opened my eyes to the meaning of being truly dedicated to one's craft. ? ?????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????????? ???? ????????. Observing my colleagues' dedication and enthusiasm for their roles has taught me the significance of finding passion and purpose in work. Their commitment to the team’s goals and the positive impact of their efforts have inspired me to seek fulfilment and meaning in my own tasks. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be part of team with amazing colleagues and for the lessons and growth I've experienced here. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey with me. #ProfessionalGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #Gratitude #Mentorship #Teamwork

???????Pream Brijlall P. BRIJLALL ??????????????????????????WSIB ANTISEMITISM, HATRED, AND RASESS; After a workplace accident, WSIB put me through hell and made my injuries twice as worse ? permanently then robbed me of my benefits just because of the colour of my skin. Sandra Di Carlo the case manager took me out from physio therapy that was helping me with my recovery and sent me to wsib Doctor and physio therapy that made my injuries twice as worse permanently. Deb Remekie, The lady at WSIB that robbed me of my benefit, she said that I can sell jewelry, she thinks because I am black I can steal jewelry and sell, so she decided to rob me of my benefit.

As someone who started her curiousity and exploration of the hospitality industry in 2019, I never addressed how tumultuous the events of 2020 were on the next few years of my professional development that was only getting started. I spent the years between 2020-2023 trying to hold on to that curiousity while trying to fight the grim uncertainty and instability of hospitality. In Fall 2023, I became a Master’s of Management in Hospitality (MMH) Candidate at Cornell where my hotelie-at-heart characteristics came into actual fruition. I love being a hotelie. Within the industry, I mainly worked frontline/heart-of-house service roles at resorts, but the thing I fell in love with was beverages, especially wine, coffee, and tea. In Fall 2021 and Spring 2022, as I was applying to summer internships to finish up my undergraduate degree at UNLV, I kept getting comments about how the only outlook for me was probably working in a restaurant as a bartender or a sales cashier at a liqour store with not much of a pathway forward. I did not know any better and believed what people were saying, so I decided that beverages weren’t worth pursuing - regardless of how interested I was. From Summer 2022-Winter 2023, instead of leaning into my interest, I wanted to distance myself from myself because I believed what I actually was would never amount to anything. During those times, I experienced the darker sides of imposter syndrome and was facing some major mental health complications. The first semester of graduate school was tough and my personal brand and professional image took a hit. In recent times, I’ve been anxious of how my future will be affected by the times when I was not my best-self. I’m sharing this post for a few reasons: ?Clarify my career interest in hospitality. I want to be involved in the strategic planning and analytics involved with beverage supply chain and connecting beverages to your favorite resorts, F&B outlets, and nightlife venues. ?Share part of my story as a way to address and help the cause in destigmatizing talking about imposter syndrome and mental health ?Drop my most recent picture with Touchdown - Go Big Red! ????

Are You Ready for the Great College Exodus? Tips for Restaurant Owners As I strolled through our local Wal-Mart, I couldn't help but notice the back-to-school displays taking center stage. The sheer efficiency and strategic timing of these promotions struck me. It seems like Wal-Mart is always a step ahead, anticipating needs before most people even realize they have them. This got me thinking about the restaurant owners and managers I speak with daily. It's that time of year again: the great exodus of employees heading back to college. Are you staffed and ready? The departure of student employees can significantly impact your operations if you're not prepared. Here are a few tips to ensure a seamless transition: Analyze Historical Data: Take a look at past years' data to forecast the upcoming demand and identify peak times where you might need extra hands. Early Recruitment: Start your recruitment process early. Reach out to local high schools, community colleges, and job fairs to find new talent. Offering flexible hours can attract students who are still around. Incentivize Current Staff: Consider offering bonuses or increased pay rates to current employees willing to take on additional shifts during this period. Streamline Training: Ensure your training programs are efficient and effective. A well-structured onboarding process can make new hires productive faster. Leverage Technology: Utilize scheduling software to optimize shift planning and avoid burnout among your remaining staff. Communicate Openly: Keep an open line of communication with your team. Discuss the upcoming changes and get their input on how to manage the transition smoothly. By staying one step ahead, much like those savvy marketers at Wal-Mart, you can handle the seasonal ebb and flow of your workforce without a hitch. Remember, preparation is key to maintaining excellent service and a happy team. Therefore, are you ready for the college exodus? If not, it's time to get cracking! #NorthDakota?#SDjobs?#SouthDakota?#MTjobs?#Montana?#WYjobs?#Wyoming?#GeckoHospitality?#WereHiring?#LetGoAndLetGecko?#GrowYourBusiness?#Business?#RecruitmentAgency?#NowHiring?#restaurant?#foodservice?#opportunity #hoteliers?#hotelmanagement
