The What Do You Stand For Podcast!

Brought to you by Hospitality Industry Expert | Business Evangelist | Author | Social Entrepreneur Arthur Keith, this podcast will help you get yourself right in the area of your life where you spend the most time: WORK. Arthur and his co-hosts will be here to discuss the topics that corporate America avoids, but every manager and front line hospitality employee hopes their leaders will confront!

Karma! You get the workforce you deserve! In this debut episode of the What Do You Stand For podcast, we discuss how our personal life experiences have impacted our professional performance in the hospitality industry, and what this podcast aims to accomplish in the coming weeks.

What a horrible way to spend half of your waking hours, doing something you don’t enjoy.  Fortunately it doesn’t have to be this way.  There are people all over the world, who couldn’t stand their job, dropped it for doing something they enjoy, and are now far happier.

Great leaders pursue their passions with strong conviction and great energy, which enables them to weather the tough times when others give up. In this episode, Arthur and the Squad offer career tips on how you too can build the career you want and deserve.

Anyone who’s ever worked for a boss who is disorganized, scatterbrained, or simply overworked knows how difficult it can be to figure out exactly what’s expected of them.  If you find yourself in such a situation, you generally have two options. You could grit your teeth and try to endure the uncertainty. You could also try your hand at “managing up.”

In this episode, Arthur, Jerri & DJ dissect the technique of managing up.  Doing whatever you can to make your boss's job easier -- by essentially managing your manager  -- includes a combination of:

• communicating your priority and seeking feedback,
• being able to anticipate your boss's needs,
• and understanding what makes your boss tick.

Inspired by the recent headlines of great leader Mark Cuban's recognition of ex-Dallas-Maverick Delonte West's dire need for mental health services, Arthur and the Squad unpack how to be an empathetic leader, with boundaries, and minimized risk.

2020 has been a year like no other! Many of us feel like we've been run over by a train that we never saw coming. Given the uncertainty and disruptions experienced in 2020, what's next?
