Journey with me into my work life in hospitality

-


I have come again with yet another inspiration to share an authentic version of myself in my day to day life. If you have met me in person or for those that know me, you have probably experienced a version of me that is dedicated to the work i do. I have over the time encountered a number of experiences that have slowly fruited into a desire to tell you about my work, my challenges, my wins and some of the solutions that i have adapted to survive through the times. 

So who am I? I am not my job but my job does reflect some bits of me. I love my job and there is so much that I learn from it daily. I have worked in the hospitality industry for sometime now and i could comfortably say that on a scale of 1-10, I think am at 7 in growth. It is a sector where you encounter people daily and will be challenged to handle all situations you encounter with a unique approach. When I say this, I am referring to customers, employers and employees. Most of what I will share will be an accumulation of lessons derived from these experiences.

I am looking forward to sharing these experiences with you and for you to pick out any lessons  but better still for you to share with me your thoughts and input once you get to read. I hope we all connect and learn from each other from the experiences i shall be sharing with you. 

Get ready for some fruitful sharing in the days ahead.

Life in color♥️💕🌈

Not so long ago, I informed a friend that life without color for a lady is plain. He seemed not to see it that way. Perhaps not every lady. The era of makeup does throw a bit of light onto that statement.  We choose how we want to see life. For some of you, if the music stops playing, then your rhythm will stop while for someone else they still have a continued rhythm even without a sound. It is how I visualize life in my head without the actual crayons. I have attended events that have allowed me to experience variations in choices of color and artistry. You can tell the character of a person by what they surround themselves with. For my case, I love a good quality book for a journal with pages that will keep me writing. I enjoy the feel of a good pen as I write my thoughts. Such is the same with life, surround yourself with what articulates your personality. Hang with friends that add impact to you, people that won't judge you when you chose to dance naked in the rain. Sit wi...

Your Appeal

Hello! Anyone!? Are you there? Come and lets share our random thoughts. So how about we talk about perception and how people make conclusion of who you really are. After a long time now, I have gradually come to understand we are surrounded by people with different personalities. Do not spend your life expecting everyone to see life the way you see it. Let us start by saying you always need to be able to present yourself in a way that appeals to many. However, you need to understand that when I say appeal, I’m referring to the different ways you need to present yourself. There is that office appeal, there is the home appeal, and there is the social circle appeal, the church, the international and so forth. You don’t have to pull off an act everyday just so you can fit into your circles. The second you start your conversation, people are watching you and listening carefully for what is coming out of you. Now for people like me, I will probably listen more to get...

What is your personality like?

When you s ay that someone has a "good personality" that implies they are likable, interesting and pleasant to be with.  I have often lived my life with a high belief that I ought to try and make others comfortable but quite often it is mistaken for trying to please people. This is where we lose track of the good motive and people take for granted the niceness presented before them. In the industry that I currently work in, it is very important to establish relationships with people. Once you establish the relationship, retention of the clients is a no brainer. The one thing I am sure of about social connection is that there is value addition that will be a constant at all times even when events go sour. Once you have something of value benefit from the other party, you will always have a reason small or big to try and make things right.  Build up on your character on a daily. Work out something that nurtures your relationship abilities. Aim at listening to peopl...
