That added pressure often results in conflict in their business and personal lives, and takes a toll on performance.

How can managers and staff be their best in navigating these stormy economic seas? “INTEGRATED CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINING” creates workshop custom-designed to give hospitality industry staff and managers enhanced knowledge. and tools for successfully managing difficult situations.

These workshops focus on real-life conflict situations faced by hospitality-industry professionals at work. Attendees “test-drive” their enhanced or newly acquired skills under the guidance of a professional conflict manager and a veteran of the hospitality industry. It’s a powerful training opportunity that introduces participants to a better way of being at work – TO LEARN TO SMILE – AND FLOURISH – IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY.

“A Salt Spring based restaurateur, chef, food consultant and writer, Richard was most recently the general manager and executive chef at Moby’s Oyster Bar and Marine Grill after having owned and operated the extremely popular Raven Street Cafe for more than ten years. Richard’s love of fresh, local and sustainable foods is evident in everything he does, and his affection for the open flame is well known – if occasionally a little unnerving.” ~ Sip And Savour 2011

Richard and I have been pals and business partners for years. Soup to nuts, he is there for you if you need anything done in restaurants or hospitality.
