Career transitions, college students, and goal seekers all know how difficult it is to carry the burden of studies to get to the finish line. It’s no easy task.

Parents know how difficult it is to bear the burden of the change in lifestyle as a newborn is expected. It’s no easy task.

Let’s not forget authors whose stories became known from a dream, to a thought, to a page, to a book. Published! It’s no easy task.

Hospitality 25th Anniversary Awards Event…

Celebrate what you want to see more of
Tom Peters

It’s such a beautiful feeling when dreams come through. This impactful organization (HHRABC) had never celebrated its over 25 years of industry contribution. It was such a delight to work with the board to make this dream a reality.

Among the leaders recognized were Florida Atlantic University’s Dr Peter Ricci, Attorney Bob Turk, Hotelier & Author Charles Ryan Minton, Labor and Employment Attorney David Miklas, Florida’s Department of Defense (DoD) Peter Caspari along with HHRABC President and Board members throughout the years.

As Vice President for the past four years, it was indeed a joy to dream of this celebration and to see it come through.

Life’s achievements are to be celebrated.

Cheers!

Take a day off from writing
Work on two different books at the same time. If you have trouble with one, move to the other. It helps with the creative process
If you don’t know what you’re going to write there’s no point in sitting down. What you can do is think during the day what the next few pages are going to be like (when writing fiction). So when you sit you know exactly what’s coming

Pay Grade: Know Before You Go…

Success is not just making money. Success is happiness. Success is fulfillment; it’s the ability to give.
Adam Neumann

241K Jobs added to the American economy in the third Quarter 2022. Assuredly of this number, hundreds of applicants went armed to interviews with knowledge of what they desired in a new job. In a heartbeat most will say high paying salaries, while others will say great benefits, great culture, remote work and more.

Are Jobseekers & Organizations Prepared for The Future?

Are organizations prepared for the workforce of the future? Research on Success Strategies of Leaders with Nova Southeastern University delved deeply into this question. To date, the most common top priority remains salary. Employers must become armed with the most in-depth information so they can be ready to attract, capture and retain top talent in the marketplace. Accordingly, it was great to collaborate with representatives of salary.com to meet with HR leaders in the industry through the Hospitality Association in Florida, HHRABC.org where I serve on the board as VP. Interest sparked post-pandemic, leaders are now ready to step in and hire the best.

As a certified coach my emphasis is on those candidates seeking a career change. Jobseekers, are you ready? Not sure? Let’s connect to see if coaching is right for you.

Cheers!
