Back to Work….

at Home or Office?



There has been so much discussion lately on working from home or in person at the office.

I read two very interesting articles that address this issue. "What do workers want to return to regularly working in the office?" and "Gen Z Is Lonely Thanks to 'Flexible' Remote Work, Falling Behind"


For our staff we are taking the hybrid approach. There is no doubt that working from home is great for personal flexibility. However, I do believe that working in the office develops more team spirit and creativity. For now, we are doing a little of both. I have a love/hate relationship with Zoom….But it does make distance working a good alternative to in person. Let me know how things are working for you. Do you have any tips to share on what has been working for you and your team?


MPI Michigan Chapter


Are you planning on attending the October 27th MPI Michigan Chapter meeting “Topic: Horror Stories”? Hope you can circle it in on your calendar. I am pleased to let you know that I have been invited as one of the panelists for the program. I guess they figure that after over 30 years in this hospitality industry that I have a few meeting/conference horror stories to tell. More importantly to tell how to turn a zombie event into a successful event. Hope to see you there. Here is the LINK to register.


On Another Note…


Did any of you attend the revised Detroit Auto Show last month? One of my clients, Marketing & Sales Executives of Detroit wrote an interesting review if you would like to read it HERE. Also for any of you Sales & Marketing folks out there, that organization is having a networking event on Wednesday October 26th. This "Meet & Greet" is open to non-members and guests…please join us.


Till we meet again….enjoy the festivities this month!
