Today, I had the privilege of attending KML's Top 30 Under 30 Summit. Thank you The Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto and Sam for giving me and my colleagues this opportunity. And congratulations to Aaron for the well-deserved award! We're so proud of you! ?? I arrived already expecting to learn, but the panel sessions far exceeded my expectations. I'm excited to share my key takeaways: ??"Diversity" extends beyond race, age, and gender orientation to include learning abilities. Most people who work in FOH are experiential learners, retaining information better through hands-on experience. Training should be tailored accordingly, rather than relying solely on PowerPoint slides or written materials. ??Encourage every associate to collaborate and contribute to changes; give them a sense of purpose. ??When hiring, shift the focus from "Will they stay?" to "How do we retain them?"; what we should be looking for, especially in the service industry, is Authenticity. ??Going Green— This shouldn't mean taking away amenities or putting the burden on the guests in any way, it means offering an alternative. ??Pre-Shifts— the hallmark of service excellence; setting the mood for associates and keeping them informed impacts guest's experiences more than you think.

If you're at the NACD (National Association of Corporate Directors) Summit in DC next week, hit me up. Or come see my talk at 4 pm ET on Monday - I'm hitting on two topics: ?? Joining a new board of directors? Here's a set of quick hits for your first 90 days ?? 4 critical moments where you can add value to the company's strategy (while keeping your fingers out of the pot)

Have you ever wondered what you should say if you have been selected to receive an award, the experts say the following: 1. Express your gratitude and be genuine. Speak from the heart and remember to acknowledge the sponsoring organization as well as any other nominees. 2. Demonstrate why you are deserving of the honor. Keep the self-deprecation to a minimum; don't make them regret selecting you over others. 3. Recognize those who helped you achieve success. Use your moment in the spotlight to pay it forward. Personalize your speech with anecdotes. This is still a speech, after all, so make it memorable and meaningful. 4. Respect the audience and the clock. Not every awards ceremony has an orchestra to play you off the stage when you overstay your welcome.

Steven Gleason's acceptance speech for the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs profoundly touched me, especially his words: "It's clear to me that our ability to courageously share our vulnerabilities with each other is our greatest strength." This resonated deeply with me, as I grew up in a Catholic family where discussing struggles and vulnerabilities was often taboo. We were taught to hide our challenges, to not "air the dirty laundry." This culture of silence can be isolating and prevents true healing and authenticity. Steve's message challenges this mindset. By openly sharing his own vulnerabilities in his journey with ALS, he exemplifies how courage and strength can come from transparency and honesty. In a world where we often feel pressured to present a perfect facade, his words remind us of the power in being real and open with each other. We have one life to live, and it's crucial to embrace it fully—by being bold, open, and accepting of ourselves and others. Steven's speech is a powerful reminder to break down the barriers of silence and to find strength in our shared human experiences. Another moment in his speech that stood out to me, was when he spoke about the importance of purpose and connection. He said, "We are not alone. We are in this together." These words serve as a reminder that, despite our individual struggles, we can find solidarity and support in our communities if we have the courage to be vulnerable. Steven's journey and his words inspire me to live more authentically, to be open about my own struggles, and to support others in theirs. It's a reminder that our greatest strength lies not in hiding our vulnerabilities but in sharing them, fostering a deeper connection and understanding with those around us. https://lnkd.in/gSPY7tiR
