Verificado @marriott.comMost training sessions get swept under the rug once the whirlwind starts again, leaving teams unchanged and uninspired. This series was different. It broke internal barriers, got us involved with tools that truly make us better, and sparked an excitement in our Marriott that we haven’t felt in a long time. Not only are people still buzzing, but our teams are actively using the tools. A great example? My memo to Keith at the front desk—it’s proof that this training works.
