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.

Heading to #QuirksChicago? Join our session on Tuesday, March 26 to hear from industry experts at Molson Coors Beverage Company and Beam Suntory about the state of the alcohol industry and how to embrace evolving dynamics to meet consumers where they are.    It’s no secret that alcohol brands are having to adjust as consumers change their drinking habits – whether it’s lower alcohol drinks, going completely alcohol free, or the sober curious movement.  Eboni Washington, Director, Consumer Insights - Strategic Innovation & Ready to Drink/Ready to Serve at Beam Suntory and Sean McCullough, Sr. Insights Manager at Molson Coors will join our own Jessie Janego Higgins on stage to discuss:   ➤ With so many products on the shelf today, how are consumers choosing between full strength, low, or no alcohol options?   ➤ We know younger generations are drinking less – what's driving this and do alcohol brands need to change their approach?   ➤ How can brands continue to resonate with consumers in an authentic way with the coming social/cultural/generational shifts?    And come visit us at Booth 322 to learn more about our industry-leading #research technology on the #TolunaStart platform and full-service suite of research solutions for every budget.

Will you help me Identify the Most Successful Regional Tea Brands | Customers today celebrate fragmented markets like tea and cheese for their diverse offerings and strict adherence to "distinctive" characteristics. Quit dumbing down blends to save a buck. Instead, double down on the ingredients that make a blend distinctive. Remember that tiny portion of Keemum that was costly but added a pleasant note to English Breakfast blends? How about that flavorful high-mountain Orthodox from Kandy, Sri Lanka, now virtually eliminated from the very brands whose reputations for quality were largely based on Sri Lanka's unique flavor profile? Stay true to what defines your tea. No compromise. This is why regional brands are triumphant... Caykur, Wagh Bakri, BOH, AOI Once they master online sales and last-mile distribution, they rocket... look at Luxmi Estates sales via Amazon Global Selling: "We now make ₹1.5 to 2 crore (₹ 20 million) in sales via Amazon monthly. The U.S. is our biggest market on Amazon, accounting for 70% of our online sales. We see sale numbers shooting up to 3x during Amazon sale events such as Prime Day."

Connections and entrepreneurship are global topics in all endeavors. They are also great topics to discuss over a glass of good wine.

So many cool things about these organizations and this video. Love Sherwood leads with "Believing in Abilities." An organization who provides services to those with disabilities can spend alot of time on the negative which is the "disability." Sherwood believes in the potential, sometimes hidden abilities, in EVERYONE. They have found some partners who feel the same way! #marketing #believing #nonprofits #sherwood #branding #jobsearch #resume #coffee
