Amidst the festive chaos, Christmas traditions can actually be a lifeline. 🎄✨ For many neurodivergent people, the predictability of traditions brings comfort and calm. Whether it’s knowing that the day will start with stockings or that Christmas dinner will always have roasties, traditions provide a routine in the whirlwind of change. This is a reminder that small rituals, even in the workplace, can bring that same sense of security. 🎁 Holding a morning briefing before a big event 🎁 Having an annual Secret Santa with clear guidelines 🎁 Ending the year with a team celebration at the same venue It’s not about being rigid - it’s about creating anchors in the chaos.

A Moment That Taught Me What Hospitality Really Means Last week, I witnessed a moment that reminded me why I love this industry. A couple traveling with their 10-month-old child found themselves in a stressful situation in our lobby bathroom. Their baby needed a diaper change, and they were visibly overwhelmed. That’s when one of our public area attendants quietly stepped in. With so much kindness and care, she offered to help. She reassured the parents, gently assisted them, and made sure the baby was comfortable. It wasn’t part of her job description it was simply her humanity shining through. Later, the parents told us how much that small act of kindness meant to them. They felt supported in a moment of vulnerability, and it turned their entire experience around. This moment stuck with me. It reminded me that hospitality isn’t just about clean rooms or great food. It’s about being human. It’s about noticing when someone needs help and stepping up with empathy. As we start this Monday, let’s carry that spirit into everything we do whether it’s for our guests, our colleagues, or our loved ones. A little care can go a long way. #MondayMotivation #HospitalityStories #GoTheExtraMile #KindnessMatters #HumanTouch #GuestExperience #ServiceWithHeart #HospitalityHeroes #LeadershipInAction #CustomerCare

As Thanksgiving approaches, I'm reflecting on the deeper meaning of this special holiday—a time to embrace gratitude, unity, and shared humanity. While Thanksgiving is a deeply American tradition, its message transcends borders, reminding us to pause and appreciate the people, opportunities, and experiences that enrich our lives. This year, I'm privileged to celebrate Thanksgiving in Israel with family and friends, weaving together traditions old and new in a place where cultural exchange carries profound significance. Gratitude knows no boundaries, and this holiday illuminates its remarkable power to bridge divides—whether in our personal relationships or professional endeavors. In the workplace, the essence of Thanksgiving resonates powerfully. Gratitude serves as a catalyst for collaboration deepens professional bonds, and nurtures an environment where trust and respect can flourish. With partners, prospects, and customers alike, expressing genuine appreciation transcends mere courtesy to become the foundation of lasting, meaningful connections. In these times of global complexity and division, Thanksgiving offers a transformative lens through which to view both life and business: by honoring our shared humanity, celebrating what unites us, and valuing the distinct contributions of each individual, we create spaces where trust, understanding, and progress can thrive. To everyone, near and far, I extend wishes for a season filled with warmth, gratitude, and genuine connection. May we carry the spirit of Thanksgiving into our workplaces, our partnerships, and every relationship we nurture throughout the year. #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #WorkplaceCulture #Partnerships #GlobalUnity #SharedHumanity

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it—near or far! 🦃🍂 Thanksgiving has always been a meaningful holiday for me. It’s also a time to reflect on how holidays can differ around the world. What might seem like an ordinary Thursday in one part of the world is a national celebration in another. Taking the time to learn about someone else’s customs, traditions, and holidays is a simple way to show kindness and make others feel valued. Small gestures can go a long way in fostering connection across cultures. Let’s all continue to learn about and honor the traditions that shape those around us. A simple recognition of someone's special day—whether it’s a holiday, tradition, or personal event—can show them kindness. One small gesture at a time, we can foster connection. 🌍🤝 #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #CulturalAwareness #KindnessMatters #GlobalConnections
