Employees must be hyper-vigilant of spatial orientation to engage, impress, and interact with guests. For simply being near a guest, employees are trained to: Make eye contact and smile. Greet and welcome each and every guest. Seek out guest contact. Provide immediate service recovery. Always display appropriate body language. Preserve the "magical guest experience. Thank each guest and demonstrate that appreciation."

If you are helping people only to see what you can get out of it, your pie stays small and your opportunities stay limited. However, if you sincerely want to help people succeed, you will not only enjoy more success, but expand your possibilities beyond your expectations. Once you see the benefits from all directions, you will not want it any other way!"
"It is not blindly pushing your own agenda that will enrich the world. It's is your ability and willingness to understand, appreciate, anticipate, address, serve and support the lives of others that will."
