Speaker: Robbie Hanson, Author, Speaker, Facilitator

Robbie will be giving a presentation based on his book "Ready, Set, WOW!"

Ready, Set, WOW! is a practical playbook for both the new and experienced manager. Wowing the employee is about creating a dynamic work environment, resulting in increased productivity, better communication and higher employee retention.

Based on the five principles of respect, learning, trust appreciation, and having fun, Robbie will teach us his method of applying these methods for positive outcomes. Ready, Set, WOW! is for the engaged and strategic leader who wants to unleash their team's human potential.

Learner Outcomes:

• Increased self and employee appreciation
• Ability to clearly communicate priorities with co-workers and employees
• Inspiring ways to have fun at work

Robbie is a dynamic leader in hospitality and has worked for companies such as Alaska Airlines, Disney, Nordstrom, Pastini Restaurants, Tillamook Cheese, and more. His boundless energy and inquisitive nature have helped him develop winning teams in several different channels of the hospitality industry and this presentation will help you learn tools that you can take back to your own teams.
