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.

Early Start

Thank you to the Council of Michigan Foundations for the opportunity to share fraud-fighting best practices with the foundation community. The session offered many tips on how foundations can collaborate with their partner and awardee organizations to collectively prevent fraud. To avoid a commercial-like presentation, we shared some of our “secret sauce,” including many do-it-yourself tips and tricks, and even our engagement letter template and tasks, so attendees had a roadmap to perform these tasks themselves rather than needing to hire a third party like us. For those who need to hire a third party for fraud prevention services, we shared best practices and tips on managing that relationship, including the dos and don’ts we’ve learned (some the hard way) from performing this type of engagement with several organizations. Do you work for a foundation or municipality responsible for awarding funds but lack internal resources to help your partners? We have multiple relationships with foundations and governmental organizations that provide additional funding to their nonprofit partners specifically to hire us to enhance their fraud prevention toolkits and reduce fraud risk. This is a win-win scenario, as neither organization wants to end up in the headlines due to embezzlement, but often both lack the expertise or personnel to proactively address it.

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.

Why It Matters

A productive board meeting? Apparently, they can happen when you're talking about The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi. The organization's vision is to create a better world driven by the love of learning. This week's meeting has us moving toward that goal. #PhiKappaPhi #LoveOfLearning

We live in a world where we’re constantly fed a newsfeed of trophies. Another promotion. Another award. Another acknowledgement. Another “win.” Comparison is looking at someone’s progress and thinking: they’re better/further along/smarter/stronger/faster than me. Inspiration is looking at someone’s progress and thinking: look what they were able to do, maybe I can do something like that too? I find it easier to by inspired by someone’s words or actions rather than their medals. Medals aren’t bad, but they’re often the catalyst for comparison because they’re designed to emulate a status. Comparison is looking at other people’s progress as the absence of your own. Inspiration is looking at other people’s progress as evidence that it’s possible for you.
