These are my opinions on where there is room for revenue at this particular location and not a reflection of other locations or the corporation. #roomforrevenue #sandiego #revenue #sales #hospitality

I am attending #IGBLive Amsterdam. We’ll be chatting about our new launches this year. Let’s book a meeting

Happy 4th of July! As cities across the nation light up the sky with their fireworks displays, let's also celebrate the meticulous planning, coordination, and execution that went on behind the scenes – using the #Baldrige Excellence Framework! 💥 Criteria 1: Leadership - City officials and event organizers demonstrated visionary leadership by planning a large-scale public event that celebrates a national holiday. 💥 Criteria 2: Customer Focus - The event was designed to entertain and inspire residents, while also keeping them safe. 💥 Criteria 3: Strategic Planning - Organizers developed a strategic plan for the event, considering factors like budget, logistics, safety, and entertainment value. 💥 Criteria 4: Measurement, Analysis, and Knowledge Management - Organizers will gather data on attendance, feedback, and areas for improvement to enhance future events. 💥 Criteria 5: Workforce - A dedicated team with diverse skills planned and now will work together to ensure the smooth execution of the event. 💥 Criteria 6: Operations - Clear processes have been established for everything from firework selection and timing to crowd control and cleanup. 💥 Criteria 7: Results - A successful firework display delivers a positive experience for attendees, showcasing the city's commitment to community engagement. Holiday traditions like today takes hard work from dedicated teams, and this is just one example of how Baldrige can be applied to the nitty gritty along the way! #performanceexcellence #inaction

Feeling very inspired after Tuesday night's Salon Canberra event ‘Enhancing Communities through Infrastructure, Placemaking and Public Art’. The beautiful theatrette at the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia was completely full. Thank you to Catherine Carter for providing this opportunity. There were many takeaways from the panel that stuck with me, but my favourite was from Nikos Kalogeropoulos: We are creating fewer reasons to step into the public realm. We create bigger, more elaborate homes, with home gyms, home theatres etc. We drive from these ultra-comfortable homes straight to our sterile, climate-controlled offices and then home again. And yet, so often are the memorable moments made elsewhere, in the public realm. In the spaces between destinations. This was a thought-provoking moment for me, that something seemingly trivial can have a huge impact on the community and its engagement. We need to include art and the public realm in our daily lives. How much beauty and culture do we miss? How many moments of connection do we simply, subconsciously, refuse to experience?

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts." This phrase, often attributed to the philosopher Aristotle, suggests that the total value or effectiveness of a group or system is greater than the sum of its individual components Leading alongside remarkable women such as S. Kathryn Allen, Esq., Theresa Harrison, Keisha L. Mack, PhD, Aimee Griffin, Esq., LLM, and Nic Cober, Esquire, is truly an honor. I consider it an honor to belong to a sisterhood that stands as a representation of the top 1% of Black Women-owned businesses.

"The People's House: A White House Experience" is opening in Washington, DC this week. It's a 33,000 sq ft, three-floor interactive tech-powered experience designed to evolve over time alongside each presidency. This is interesting, and hopefully will help the attraction stay current vs. the stale animatronic Hall of Presidents experience from the past. Located less than a block from the actual White House, this is a collaboration between The White House Historical Association, Gensler, Ralph Applebaum Associates, and Cortina Productions. I understand the security precautions of building a separate attraction, and the scalability to make a visit more accessible to the greater public, but it's hard to think of another iconic building that could do the same. Imagine if a visit to the Empire State Building took place at a smaller replica down the block with only video views of the Manhattan skyline? It's unclear if one of the technology powered interactive experiences included a mini Zamboni to usher out guests who believe they have won the election and refuse to leave the building. I will definitely check this out the next time I'm in Washington, DC. It's great to see a modern experience applied to an educational and inspirational political environment. #ImmersiveExperience #InteractiveExhibits #ExperienceDesign #WashingtonDC #TechInMuseums #EducationalExperiences #PoliticalHistory #VisitorAttractions #CulturalHeritage #Gensler #RalphAppelbaumAssociates #CortinaProductions #WhiteHouse #AmericanHistory #ModernMuseums #ExhibitionDesign #DigitalInnovation #PresidentialHistory #HistoricPreservation #MuseumsAndTechnology #VisitorExperience #ExperientialDesign #InnovationInMuseums #DCAttractions #CulturalExperience #StorytellingThroughTech #MuseumTech #CivicEngagement #TechInEducation #ExperienceEconomy #CulturalInnovation #WXO #WorldExperienceOrganization "Home - The People's House"

Remarkably clever. 🌟 In a time where the datafication of everything now includes humans, it’s incredible to see such a clever and elegant representation of what makes a company extraordinary—its people. In today’s hybrid and remote work environments, having a central, persistent 3D visual presence of the workforce feels so timely and relevant. It captures the essence of our colleagues in a way that’s more aligned with our real-world interactions and thoughts than the flatness of a name on a spreadsheet or an email address. When I think of my teammates, I envision them FAR CLOSER to something like a 3D model in my mind when compared to something reductively unoriginal like headshots or data points. This brilliant installation truly challenges the standardization of human representation, and it’s got me thinking about how I can implement something similar with my own team as Gemba grows. This idea is not only clever but deceptively brilliant, showcasing our ability to present data in ways that are more human, more connected, and more appropriate to how we live and think. 💭 How do you see your team? What are some unique ways you represent your workforce? #HumanCentered #DataInnovation #3DVisuals #WorkforceRepresentation #HybridWork

Education doesn't always have to look so formal - PowerPoints, sitting in chairs, business casual attire...you can see it in your head right now, can't you? It can look like leadership getting creative. You can break up the many tools of success into bite-sized bits that are easier to absorb and remember. You can wear jeans, T-shirts, and even throw in the occasional letterman's jacket to up the cool factor. We recently held a Real Estate Fair at our office for a chance to change the pace while still offering quality education. We were excited at the turnout and heard from so many attendees that the fair not only taught them about real estate but that it energized and motivated them to get out into the field. It didn't take incredibly more time to plan than a normal workshop and the casual atmosphere made it easier for people to engage in conversations, ask critical questions, and pick the brains of some of our most talented team. We call that a win. #CreativeLeadership #RealEstateEducation #RealEstateFair #MotivatedMindset #EngagingConversations #TalentedTeam #BiteSizedLearning #QualityEducation #OWNYourGrowth #OWNFamily #CommunityOverCompetition
