Life is full of successes and failures, and we each win a few and lose a few along the way. Unless you set a record, nobody really notices. But we feel each and the emotions that go along with them can sometimes get you down, making it hard to keep going or put on a happy face. That’s life. As leaders, we need to keep that in mind and be there to give a boost at the beginning of each day. Whether working on an opening of a resort or running one, I found it helpful to start each shift with a message reminding everyone to be there for each other. That’s how these daily messages got started. That’s part of teamwork. And, no matter how you feel, that kind of support provides the courage to get going again. Life, like work, is hard enough, more so when feeling alone. Help others face and overcome the ups and downs they face and feel today.
