Mid-Year Manager's Celebration

KeKe Beach

Today was the Mid-Year's Managers' Celebration, surprisingly enough its purpose is to celebrate the manager's accomplishments so far. The meeting was also focused around the book "NOW, Discover your strengths!", which is basically a system of categorizing people's strengths into certain categories. I took the online test on Sunday and found out that my number one strength is the theme Input. Input is supposed to be someone who enjoys collecting and researching information. Some of my other strengths are Consistency, Learner, Intellectual, and Harmony. It was interesting to find out the areas that I'm strong in and fun to think that I can use these themes to guide me in my future career. At the meeting we learned about the other strengths from all the other managers and many of them had matching strengths to match the needs of their jobs. Interestingly enough, I was the only one with Input that I could find.

Before the meeting started, the culinary team put together an omelette station and fruit buffet for breakfast and then for a morning break they had a crepe station with fresh fruit and sauces. Its fun when you have meetings with the culinary team because they always want to really wow you. Of course, they usually do :)

The rest of the meeting I listened to presentations from all of different managers. I was one of the last people to present and I could tell that I had made a good impression on my coworkers. I presented what I had done with the Grand Slam Golf Package and the numbers that I had put together for it. After the meeting finished, Jay came and complimented me on my work with the package and presentation.

Today I squared away the charter bus and tomorrow I will have the PR description of the package finished. After that, we can release it through corporate web sites and also through the Kauai Visitors Bureau. It will be so cool if it sells well and then I will be able to leave a legacy with the hotel :).
