September 2019 CHRIE Communiqué 1 Half Full or Half Empty? Kathy McCarty, Chief Executive Officer, International CHRIE

For whatever reason in the universe, I’ve had about 15 different conversations this past month with a variety of people on basically the same topic. Woven CHRIE Communiqué through every single one of these conversations was the thread of that age-old philosophical question, (USPS) 734-430 (ISSN) 1042-5918 “Do you view the contents of a glass of liquid is published monthly by as half full or half empty?” I’m sure somewhere someone has done the International Council on Hotel, research on this, but I’d be interested in seeing some statistics on the Restaurant and Institutional levels of progress or success for individuals and companies whose core initiatives are based on the half-full mindset as compared to a half- Education, at empty approach. The differences could be staggering. 2810 North Parham Road, Suite 230, Richmond, Virginia USA 23294.

After sharing the list of successes for the week, Alleah did something Publisher: Kathy McCarty interesting as she opened the discussion up for feedback and ideas for next year’s conference—she asked those in attendance to share ideas for how we can make next year’s conference even better. Alleah didn’t © 2019 International Council on ask for a list of how the New Orleans conference “glass” was half Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Education empty, she asked how we could make the Phoenix conference “glass” more full. She wasn’t pretending that everything that happened during the week was perfect, but was asking us to use what we learned during We are pleased to recognize the the week to improve next year’s experience. You could almost see the following ICHRIE members for switch in mindset occur in the heads of most of those in attendance. exceptional contributions: We plan to use this same approach in the ICHRIE office during our International CHRIE Partners 2019 regular staff meetings.
