February Education Program - Hospitality Begins with Your Self-Care

This program will provide new tools for ongoing practice in your workplace for yourself and others. Beginning with a growth mindset in place of the perfectionist edge, a landscape viewpoint of your leadership that creates a positive ripple in lieu of dramatic wakes, and a generative principle to increase your ability to work with a wide variety of clients, suppliers, and team members - all while increasing your energy and vibrancy. Rather than feeling drained or depleted or acting out of frustration, impatience and irritability, you’ll have choice and discernment to be kind. Why? Because you’ve been kind to you—first!
