"No one who ever changed the game did so by being reasonable...You need to be unreasonable to see a world that not yet exists" - Will Guidara, Unreasonable Hospitality This is a book I STRONGLY recommend for #serviceindustry individuals, #businessowners, #chefs and even #pastors

It fills me with immense pride to share that I've been awarded as Manager of the Year at McDonald's Glenellen for 2023 🏆 However this award goes beyond just personal achievement. The dedication of my team, has truly been the bedrock of my achievements. Their support and tireless efforts everyday have helped me to overcome challenges and have transformed potential setbacks into stepping stones for growth. This award, therefore, is a reflection of the collective spirit and the extraordinary efforts of every single member of my store. Personally it's a shared victory, celebrating the incredible teamwork and resilience that has been created through my tenure which started in 2019. Personally the complexities of both work and academic commitments has certainly posed a substantial challenge to me. However it has been immensely beneficial for my growth on both a personal and professional level. This balancing act has not only demonstrated my ability to manage diverse commitments effectively but has also pushed me to excel in both areas. It stands as a powerful reminder of what perseverance and dedication can achieve. My time spent at McDonald's has filled me with both gratitude and happiness. This is due to my McDonalds journey offering me invaluable lessons in leadership, teamwork, and adaptability. With that though, i'd like to give a massive thank you to everyone who's been part of my incredible journey. Your encouragement, support and teamwork have been the backbone of my experience. Here's to a future brimming with more growth, learning and achievements! 🚀 #Manager #leadership #professionalgrowth #award #adaptability #gratitude #successstory #teamwork #resilience #careerdevelopment

How did working at different restaurants help you grow in your career? ✏️ Working in different restaurants has helped me grow in my career by exposing me to a wide range of restaurant environments, management styles, and customer preferences. Each restaurant has its own unique set of challenges, and by working in different establishments, I have been able to develop versatile skills that allow me to adapt to various situations. I've also had the opportunity to learn from different supervisors and managers, picking up valuable leadership and management techniques along the way. Additionally, working in diverse restaurants has given me insight into different cuisines, service styles, and operational practices, which has broadened my knowledge and expertise in the industry. Overall, my experiences in different restaurants have allowed me to continuously develop my skills, knowledge, and adaptability, enabling me to take on the responsibilities of a restaurant supervisor with confidence.

Excellence in action...

When your first job is at McDonald’s… 🍔 You learn about processes and standards. You learn to think quick on your feet and be cool under pressure. You learn about customer service. You meet a sweet older couple every Sunday morning and you know their order by heart.  ❤️ You learn how to clean, mop, disinfect, and make the stainless-steel shine! You work with a diverse team, and you start to realize it’s ok if people have different opinions from yours. You build strong friendships. You learn about job training and then how to train others. You learn life skills. Thank you, McDonald’s, for teaching me all this and more!  🍟 We all started somewhere and that shaped a part of who you are today. Even if you didn’t enjoy your first job, I bet you learned something from it.  You may have learned how not to treat people from a bad boss, or how others should be appreciated and respected. What did you learn from your fist job and how did that shape the person you are today? #Leadership #lifeskills 🍔 #McDonalds #McLeanForrester

🍸 What job did you do in your early days that prepped you for being amazing at what you do today? 🥃 I spent 10 years in the restaurant industry as a bartender and server in fine dining and let me tell you...you learn a lot about people when you control the destiny of their food and booze 😎 I credit my experience in restaurants to my success as a People leader all the time. It taught me how to uncover a person's motivators, it taught me to be a mediator and problem solver, it taught me business principles and was the catalyst for me getting my business degree. There are way too many to list. Tell me your story! #growth #community #yourstory

During a weekend trip with a friend, I struck up a conversation with a waiter at a diner. His friendly demeanor, excellent service, confidence, and engaging conversation impressed us. Assuming he was the manager, we inquired, but he denied it. Even when we suggested the possibility of a team or shift leader role, he again declined. His response surprised me, given his obvious leadership qualities. The waiter proceeded to explain that despite his intelligence and capabilities, he chose to work at the restaurant because it offered a steady and honest income. I couldn't help but agree, acknowledging the value of meaningful work. His personality and confidence radiated in his every move. It was clear that confidence isn't about perfection, but rather embracing one's strengths and embracing uniqueness. Take a moment to reflect on a skill or quality that you excel in and put it in the comments. I'll leave mine too! 😃 #confidencebuilding #confidencestrategies #confidencetips #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipqualities #transformationjourney #purposealignment #consultant
