SUMMARY:🪑 The Collective Table - A Global Hospitality Collective Virtual Networking Call
DESCRIPTION:The Collective Table is a no-pitch\, no-posturing monthly meet-up for hospitality professionals who want honest conversation\, shared learning\, and real connection with people who get the work. Facilitated by Coach Brittany Blackman\, this one-hour virtual networking call allows passionate hospitality-minded people to join an interactive conversation around the industry\, work\, and what it’s like to live a servant-hearted life.\nOur Purpose & Intentions\n\n\n\nNow more than ever\, people are craving community — a place filled with like-minded individuals where there’s no judgment\, ideas can be shared freely\, and no question feels off-limits or too small to ask. We want to be intentional and clear about why we brought this group together and what we hope you experience by being part of it. This space was created to encourage honest conversations\, different perspectives\, meaningful connections\, and the kind of support that reminds you that you don’t have to figure it all out alone. A good community feels a little like pulling up a chair\, taking a deep breath\, and realizing\, “Oh good… these are my people.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Community Culture\n\n\n\nWe’re not here to create a long list of rules or make this feel like a place where you need to walk on eggshells. We’re here to create a space people actually want to be part of. How we show up matters. We ask that members come with curiosity over criticism\, respect over judgment\, and a willingness to listen as much as they speak. We encourage different perspectives\, thoughtful conversations\, and asking questions — even the messy ones. Support one another. Celebrate wins. Share ideas. Give feedback with kindness. Assume positive intent. Be open to learning. And remember there is a real human on the other side of the screen. You do not have to agree with everyone. You do not have to have all the answers. You just have to show up in a way that makes this space feel safe\, valuable\, and worth coming back to. The goal is simple: leave people better than you found them. \n\nOur Ideal Members\n\n\n\nHosts\, operators\, property managers\, and lodging professionals who: \n\nHave been in business long enough to know this is real work\, not passive income.\nAre likely around 2–7 years into the industry or business\, though this is not a hard rule.\nCare deeply about hospitality\, guest experience\, owner relationships\, team health\, and long-term sustainability.\nWant honest conversations with people who understand the real day-to-day challenges of the industry.\nAre open\, curious\, and willing to learn from others.\nDo not believe they have all the answers.\nAre willing to share both wins and mistakes so others can learn from them.\nWant to talk about what is working\, what is not working\, what to avoid\, and what they wish they had known sooner.\nValue the people side of the business\, not just revenue\, automation\, or growth.\nAre building something with intention\, whether that is for their family\, their team\, their future\, a sale\, or a long-term legacy.\nWant connection beyond conferences\, events\, and quick online comments.\nAre willing to participate\, not just sit back and consume.

SUMMARY:Leadership Training: Can Your Team Hear What You're Actually Saying?
DESCRIPTION:How much is miscommunication actually costing you? \nNot in theory. In real numbers. The project that had to be redone. The deadline that slipped because two departments had “different understandings.” The great employee who quit and said in the exit interview that they “never really knew what was expected.” \nHere’s the uncomfortable truth most leadership training tiptoes around: the problem usually isn’t your people. And it isn’t you\, either. It’s the invisible gap between what gets said and what gets heard\, and almost no one has ever been trained to see it\, let alone close it. \nThink about your last week. How many times did you re-explain something you were sure you’d already covered? How often did you review work and think\, “How did they get ~that~ from what I said?” How many meetings ended with nods and started over the next day with confusion? \nYou’ve probably tried the usual fixes. More meetings. Longer emails. Detailed SOPs. Follow-up messages to confirm the follow-up messages. And still\, things fall through the cracks because none of those fix the actual problem. They just add more words to a channel that’s already leaking. \nThis workshop takes a completely different approach: instead of telling you where communication breaks down\, it lets you feel it. \nHere’s what the experience is like:\nYou’ll work in pairs and small groups on a series of deceptively simple challenges — ones that seem easy right up until the moment they’re not. Within minutes\, you’ll watch confident\, articulate\, experienced leaders (including yourself) discover just how much of their “clear communication” depends on assumptions the other person doesn’t share. It’s humbling. It’s hilarious. And it rewires how you talk to your team — because you’ll never again assume that “I said it” means “they got it.” \nBetween rounds\, we debrief. This is where the real work happens: connecting what just occurred at the table to what happens every day in your business. The instruction that seemed obvious to you. The question your employee was afraid to ask. The feedback that landed as criticism when you meant it as coaching. You’ll leave this training with language and tools you can use immediately — not concepts to file away\, but phrases and habits to use in your very next conversation. \nWhat actually changes after these two hours:\nYou’ll diagnose miscommunication before it costs you — spotting the moment understanding breaks instead of discovering it a week later in botched work. You’ll ask questions that surface what your people are actually thinking\, instead of questions that just collect nods. You’ll give direction that works even when you’re not in the room to clarify — which is the difference between a team that waits for instructions and a team that takes initiative. And you’ll build the kind of psychological safety where your people tell you the truth early\, while problems are still cheap to fix. \nFor owners and managers\, there’s a bigger payoff underneath all of it: you stop being the bottleneck. When your communication lands the first time\, you delegate with confidence\, your team moves without constant check-ins\, and you get back the hours you currently spend repeating\, correcting\, and refereeing misunderstandings. \nThis isn’t a lecture\, a webinar\, or a slideshow with a workbook. It’s two hours of doing\, laughing\, failing forward\, and connecting with other Florida panhandle-area leaders who face the same challenges you do. Many past participants say the conversations with fellow business owners were worth the seat alone because it turns out everyone’s fighting the same invisible gap\, and nobody talks about it. \nSeats are intentionally limited to keep the experience personal and the conversations honest. If leading humans is part of your job — this room was built for you. \n  \nThe workshop begins at 1:00 PM CT and will conclude at 3:00 PM CT.
