The question I keep getting asked is “how do I stand out with a captain when looking for a job with so many other people walking the docks and joining the industry?”, and so I wanted to address some of the little known things that could put you on the top of a captain’s list. 1. Side Skills. Can you cook a decent meal if the Chef is sleeping? Mix a mean margarita that guests will love? Do you know how to salsa or sing opera? Make sure you recognize and promote your unique skills. 2. Sense of Humor: If you can make me laugh while scrubbing the deck, you’re already halfway there, and bonus points if you laugh at my bad jokes too! 3. Positive Vibes: Bring some optimism and a great team spirit. Good energy attracts good energy! 4. Love for the Sea: Must genuinely enjoy salty air, sunsets, and occasionally (often) being splashed by waves. #yachtjobs #yachtcrew #yachtcaptain #yachties #yachtie #yachtlife #yachting #superyachting #yachtstew #deckcrew #yachtchef #yachtwork #resume #jobhunt #captainsclassroom

A recent article highlights how Six Flags Entertainment Corporation and other theme parks are leveraging seasonal events to boost attendance during traditionally slower periods. Here's how we are leading the charge: 👻 Halloween has become one of our most critical and profitable seasons. 👻 We've transformed our Fright Fest event into Fright Fest Extreme, now featuring branded experiences from major movie studios. 👻 This year's event includes a record 20 combined houses and scare zones, with branded mazes from six studios including Army of the Dead, The Conjuring, Saw, and Stranger Things. By investing in IP partnerships and expanding our offerings, we are creating new revenue streams and enhancing the guest experience. This strategy demonstrates how theme parks can transform traditionally slow periods into major attractions, driving both attendance and revenue. #ThemeParks #Halloween #SixFlags #FrightFest #SeasonalEvents

Planning a visit to Magic Kingdom? Check out these 10 insider tips and tricks for a magical, stress-free day at Disney’s most popular park!

As someone who studies Disney and its approach to leadership and innovation, I found this article fascinating. It explores why even the so-called "mediocre" attractions play a crucial role in the overall success of Disney parks. From managing guest flow to providing variety, these attractions might not grab headlines, but they’re essential to the magic and strategy behind the scenes. 💡 What do you think? Should every attraction aim for excellence, or is there a place for the "average" experience in creating a well-rounded theme park? Let's discuss! https://lnkd.in/guaQqEEy

Attached is a set of photos I took at the Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro last month. The word "Ipanema" is an indigenous word for "bad, dangerous waters", which is not far off, given the strong oversized waves that crash onto the shore. Photographing the huge waves with such a transient nature made me think about our career. Seizing opportunities when they arise is crucial for personal and professional growth. Opportunities often present themselves unexpectedly, and hesitation can lead to missed chances. In life, there are moments that can define our trajectory, and taking decisive action during these moments can make a significant difference. Even if the outcome isn't as anticipated, the experience gained can contribute to personal development and resilience. Life is a series of moments, and it's in these moments that the potential for growth and fulfillment resides. Business opportunities work the same way, indecision can result in opportunities slipping away, as time waits for no one. Embracing opportunities requires a willingness to step out of one's comfort zone and take calculated risks. #leadership #decisionmaking #selfdiscovery #photography https://lnkd.in/dTPjwdSH
