The Art of Hospitality: A Contagious Choice

Make the most of what you have. Why attitude is important? Can people have different attitudes and still be effective?

Can you change someone's attitude?

Hospitality, at its core, transcends the act of serving guests or clients if you know what I mean!

It's an attitude, a way of being that radiates warmth, helpfulness, and a genuine desire to make others feel welcome and comfortable in your hospitable space.

This attitude isn't restricted to the hospitality industry; it can permeate all aspects of life, from our daily interactions with family and friends to professional settings. But the question arises: can we influence the attitudes of others, and inspire them to embrace hospitality?

The answer is a resounding yes. Hospitality is contagious.

A smile met with a smile, a helping hand reciprocated – these small acts create a ripple effect, fostering a more positive and welcoming environment. Imagine entering a Restaurant, or a Bar, where the staff greets you with genuine enthusiasm, or encountering a stranger who goes out of their way to help you with directions. These experiences leave a lasting magical impression, subtly nudging us to choose a more hospitable approach in our interactions.

However, inspiring a change in attitude requires more than just isolated acts of kindness. It's about leading by example. By consistently demonstrating a hospitable demeanor, we create a powerful template for others to follow. This doesn't require grand gestures; it's the everyday choices that matter. Actively listening to someone, offering a word of encouragement, or simply showing patience, these seemingly small acts embody the essence of hospitality I truly believe. Today is called luxury hospitality.

Everyone gets to choose. We all don't need to have the same attitude. but you can't play with a bad attitude.

The ability to choose our attitudes is a powerful tool we possess every day. By consciously opting for hospitality, we not only enhance the experiences of those around us but also cultivate a more positive and welcoming environment for ourselves and others.

A hospitable attitude fosters trust, strengthens relationships, and creates a sense of community. In a world that can often feel harsh and impersonal, a simple act of hospitality can be a beacon of light, reminding us of our shared humanity.

Therefore, let us embrace the power of hospitality. Let our smiles be genuine, our words kind, and our actions helpful. In doing so, we inspire others to choose hospitality as well, one contagious interaction at a time.

Build a positive service culture that can master your daily behaviors and thoughts, even before interacting with anyone.

Why share what we learn with our team and bring them to reality to see for themselves, it's important. Use the collective wisdom of your team to become a contagious hospitality choice, that will attract more ambassadors to your leadership style and develop new ones. It is all about human experiences.
