We wanted to show there was another way to build and lead businesses. So Hospitality Mavericks was born. We wanted to gather together the worldβs Mavericks who do things differently from the norm. They are leaders from all walks of life who have shown and proven that there is a better way forward without cashing out on their values; ripping off their people, community and planet. That was over ten years ago. Since then we've worked with and interviewed more than 200 leaders, thinkers and experts on the best way to build a business that makes a positive impact on all stakeholders. We are the home to impactful leaders that KNOW and DO things in a better way. A network for those seeking a different path. So donβt just be like the others! Dare to Be Different β

QUOTE I'M REFLECTING ON
WEBINAR TO WATCH

I have been preparing for a third interview with Ari Weinzwig Co-Founder at Zingerman's, in the last weeks. This time we will dive deep into the power of beliefs in business and how you start writing your own "statement of beliefs".
Learn from Zingerman's that writing a statement of beliefs is a valuable exercise that can help to clarify values, create a sense of purpose and direction, and communicate those values to employees and customers. A successful statement of beliefs should be authentic, specific, action-oriented, and reflective of the unique culture and mission of the business.
In case you are wondering when the interview with Ari will be live - you have to wait until August ;)

Wise selfishness vs foolish selfishness.Last week, I was captivated by a Netflix documentary featuring the late Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama titled "Joy." Here, they discuss how to find joy and happiness during troubled times. At some point in the interview, they discuss the need to care for yourself without hurting others.They state that you must take care of yourself, or you can not survive or be helpful to others.But caring for oneself should not hurt others. The Daila Lama brings up...
The Power of Positive Energy.None of us can expect to get through life and work without obstacles. Life and work do not always go our way.But that does not mean you canβt navigate it better. You need more POSITIVE ENERGY.In my work observing what Maverick leaders KNOW and DO, I have found that they see positive energy as THE fuel for driving themselves and their organisation to greatness.When I talk about positive energy, I do not think about the rah-rah kind. I think about:- Optimism.-...
Slow down to go far...In the bustling landscape of entrepreneurship and life, finding the silence and solitude one needs to think clearly can be challenging.In the last few years, I've recognised its profound impact on my life and work.Not only when it comes to coping now but also to ensure I can keep going.Silence is often overlooked in our fast-paced world.It holds the key to bettering ourselves and enhancing our leadership.When we neglect this vital space, the quality of our...
