When I was a youngster, I used to go hunting with my dad and my older brother, Ray. I never hunted with my younger brother, Michael, until just a few years ago. But Ray, Dad and I spent many weekday evenings and weekends in the woods.

Consumers Value Community More Than Ever Before. We live in an era where people feel disconnected. You walk into a coffee shop, it’s packed, but everyone is on their laptop or phone barely glancing up at the world around them. One of the few time we all pause (and yes, it may be to take a photo) is over food, and sharing an experience about food. The rise of #foodporn on your Instagram feed isn’t just because of its beauty, it’s also belonging.

I spoke at DreamForce 16 this year. My presentation was about coaching. You can watch it here. The key quote from the presentation was this; “Nobody Brags About Developing Somebody” When I said it on stage, it was a powerful observation. I didn’t build it into my presentation. It just came to me as I was speaking. It’s been retweeted several times since, so it clearly affected others as well.

Il y a bien longtemps, lors de mon adolescence, j’ai appris à jouer de différents instruments de musique. À cette époque, l’un de mes professeurs m’a parlé d’une technique utilisée par de nombreux artistes qui souhaitaient s’améliorer : trouver un modèle ou un mentor et s’en inspirer. L’idée était la suivante : plutôt que d’avancer à l’aveuglette, il est toujours préférable de trouver quelque part quelqu’un qu’on estime très performant et de chercher à saisir ses techniques pour les reproduire e

There is a book called The Numbers Game; Why Everything You Know About Soccer is Wrong. It was written by Chris Anderson and David Sally. Think Moneyball for soccer. If you’re a soccer fan, you may have heard of it. If you’re Malcolm Gladwell fan and have been listening to his new podcast, it may ring a bell, because he references it in the My Hundred Million episode.

It’s simple right? Money in, money out. In a time where budgets are growing for some but plateauing for most, planners need to show how their efforts will drive money back into their own pockets. The good news is that there’s more than one way to make the case for more cash. Start with these 7 ideas to negotiate a bigger events budget: 1.) Ask.

There are a lot of skills and attitudes sales people must have to be successful. But there is one sales tip that rises above the rest that I share with everyone. It’s the importance of giving a s**t. What does that mean? It means, if you want to take your game to the next level in sales, you have to care more about your customers and prospects than you do you.

If you’re like me when planning a meeting or event, the rentals portion of the budget can consume all of your time and energy. Good news: it doesn’t have to. The only change you need to make from your current way of thinking is to add in some courage. If you ask the right questions, to the right people (your boss, stakeholders and/or most importantly, your rental vendor), you’ll be well on your way to savings.

A craft is something we look to perfect. A craft requires passion. A craft, by definition, requires skill and the constant improvement of that skill. When we embrace our craft, we are more committed to its purpose. We are more inclined to improvement and the execution of the craft. When we embrace our craft, we are focused on the outcomes, the value it creates for others, our influence in the outcomes and how we deliver the outcomes.

There are certain people who are just not amenable to coaching. I’m not talking about people who struggle with different styles, but rather those people who just are not receptive to feedback. The people who defend everything, argue when given constructive criticism, and aren’t open to hearing about their shortcomings, that’s who this article is about.

Companies all over the world, including Marriot International and Hilton Worldwide, are aware of the value of including DEI in their talent acquisition strategy. However, despite these initiatives, there is still plenty that the hospitality sector can do to promote DEI. When comparing the hospitality industries in India, Iraq, the UK, and the US, you will see that there is a consistent underrepresentation of persons from different ethnic, gender, and disability origins across all levels of the i

Have you ever asked yourself how much your marketing content is worth? You know, the ebooks you create. The infographics you design. The webinars you host. How much are they worth? You need to know, because contrary to your beliefs, they have value and your ability to apply the appropriate value matters. The value of your marketing content isn’t measured in terms of money, but rather by how much information your prospects are willing to give up.

Meetings are happening more frequently than ever before. As a result, planners have less time to plan and execute. Corporate leaders everywhere are looking to events as viable marketing channels, or as engaging platforms for internal initiatives. Take for example, Salesforce.com’s annual conference, Dreamforce.

Récemment, un ami m’a fait part d’analyses très intéressantes qu’il avait faites sur les taux d’annulation et leur rapport sur la baisse du prix moyen de certains hôtels. Trouvant ses observations extrêmement pertinentes, j’ai ensuite évoqué le sujet avec plusieurs dizaines de directeurs d’hôtel. Tous, sans exception, ont alors exprimé leur constat sur l’augmentation constante de leur taux d’annulation et l’insécurité dans laquelle ils se retrouvaient désormais.
