WOW, I know it’s LinkedIn but it’s a special moment to share. Isel Laguado, MPM and I both worked in the Cruise Idustry and as everyone knows our industry was dramatically hit due to Covid and 1,000’s of us were all laid off with a bleak future and so much uncertainty. I found myself with no job, no income, a single father with 2 children, times were tough and the light at the end of the tunnel was very distance. LinkedIn was my savior, my morning routine over coffee searching for employment opportunities, connecting with people, and that’s where I connected with Isel, we were both searching. She was a single mother with two children with the same challenges and struggles, We chatted, connected. encouraged each other to keep searching, sharing employment opportunity daily, and then I finally got the courage to say “hey let’s meet up” Well 4 years later we said “I do” on April 20th in a ceremony in Mexico City surrounded by family and friends celebrating our special day. We now both have amazing jobs back in the Crusie Industry that we both love and enjoy, are families are connected (blended 6) and we have never been happier.Thanks Linkedin for providing the hope and platform to motivate and inspire us to find work and connect with people when times are tough. Never loose hope, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it’s shining so bright now for us and we could not be more thankful and happy.#cruiseindustry, #neverloosehope, #linkedin, #thankful, #stayfocused, #cruiseships, #cruiselife,

Say hello 👋 to Caspar MacRae, CEO & President at The Glenmorangie Company, and this week’s incredible #IndustryInspiration!Caspar’s career has been driven by curiosity and passion, starting out as a Whisky Brand Ambassador, ultimately leading to his current role as the CEO at The Glenmorangie Company. Caspar shares, “Glenmorangie was my Dad’s favourite single malt and Dr. Bill Lumsden was one of my first industry heroes – so I feel very privileged and fortunate to have this role.”Offering insight into his role as CEO, Caspar explains, “When I first started as an Ambassador, I saw the CEO as the person who gets to do what they want with a brand and company. Now that I find myself in that position, I realise that it’s my job to be in service of the 300+ talented people who work here. The effort they put in, the passion they have, and the creativity they bring – it’s my role to ensure what they do is directed in a way that makes the brands successful, and means the team have the growth and personal development opportunities they deserve.” Speaking on his love for the brand, Caspar shares, “People – behind every single bottle of Glenmorangie and Ardbeg stands a community of craftspeople, creatives and team members united behind a purpose of creating and sharing great whisky experiences. In many cases their families have been doing this for generations. “The way that they take care of each other, strive to get better and celebrate each other’s success – it’s infectious.” The future looks bright for Caspar as he shares his short and long-term goals, “We have ambitious goals! We want Glenmorangie to be the most delicious and inventive whisky in the world. We want Ardbeg to be recognised as the best smoky whisky in the world. We would like our company to be the best place to work in Scotland. “It’s a competitive world, so those goal posts will keep moving, but that’s the exciting challenge and we need to continue to stretch ourselves to get there.” To conclude, Caspar shares some advice to fellow hospitality professionals, “I think that customer-facing roles are the best possible ‘training ground’ for future industry leaders. You understand the realities of how consumers learn, choose and enjoy our brands. You understand the challenges of our hospitality trade partners. “When I took myself to business school I was so much better equipped to match theory with real world experience thanks to my time as an ambassador. So realise that wherever you are in your career, there is a lot to learn, but don’t discount the unique value of what you already understand!”We congratulate Caspar on his incredible achievements in the industry and wish him continues success in the future!

☕️🍷Spring break travels often bring unexpected delights – like being offered a cup of coffee beans at a charming restaurant during my latest adventure. 🌍✈️Did you know that coffee beans aren't just for your morning cup? As thought leaders, we can learn a valuable lesson from the world of wine tasting.Just like wine tasters use coffee beans to cleanse their palate between tastings, we can use travel experiences to refresh our perspectives. Traveling exposes us to diverse cultures, clearing away the mental clutter and allowing us to approach challenges with renewed clarity.So, next time you're jet-setting to a new destination, remember the power of the humble coffee bean. Let it serve as a reminder to cleanse your mind, unlock new insights, and savor the journey. ☕️🌍 #ThoughtLeadership #TravelInspiration #CoffeeBeans #GenomeAlly

Gratitude An expression of gratitude or a simple thank you. Can go a long way. Yet, how often do people express it?In the Asian countries I have visited. It is often expressed in the form of a gesture with a massive smile and sincerity.I am one who is always genuine. And loves expressing gratitude. No matter how good or bad my experience was. I recall a visit to a restaurant in Sacramento California. The worst service a waiter has ever given me to date. I said thank you and left a tip that was more than my bill. Foolish of me. Some would argue. However, I am sure we all have a bad day occasionally. He may have had a really bad day when I chose to walk in. Did I ever return to that restaurant? Not a chance. In case every day is a bad day for him.When I travel. I typically pack an hour or so before I must leave the house and often, I am running to the boarding gate. I do however always try to buy chocolates or a tin of quality streets. I give these to the flight crew with a massive thanks for a great flight.I left Cape Town recently. Rushing for the boarding gate with no time to stop at the duty-free. With nothing to give the flight crew. I was happy that I always carry a pen and notepad. On this flight, I gave them a handwritten thank you note.What little expression of gratitude is your go-to?#business #carehomes #hotels #success #management #leadership
