SUMMARY:Leadership Training: How to Handle Difficult Team Members and Hold Them Accountable
DESCRIPTION:You know the conversation needs to happen. Someone keeps missing the mark. A team member pushes back on every change. The same issue keeps showing up\, and you are starting to wonder how many times you can say the same thing before you lose your patience. So you wait… \nYou give it another week. You soften the message. You hope they figure it out on their own. Or maybe you come in too strong because by the time you finally address it\, you are already frustrated. \nThis session is for leaders\, managers\, and business owners who want to get better at the conversations that are easy to avoid and hard to fake. \nWe’ll talk about what happens when someone gets defensive\, resists change\, misses expectations\, or keeps repeating the same behavior. And we’ll practice how to stay clear\, calm\, and firm without turning every hard conversation into a fight. \nYou’ll walk away knowing how to address missed expectations\, handle pushback\, and have accountability conversations that are clear\, firm\, and respectful. If you have ever thought\, “I know I need to say something\, I just don’t know how to say it\,” this session is for you. \nBring the conversation you have been avoiding. \n  \nWorkshop Value: $49 \nWe offer a sliding scale so you can choose the rate that feels right for you. Pick the option that works best for your budget and come join us – no questions asked! \n********************************************************** \nPre-registration is required\, as we intentionally keep these groups small to allow for meaningful conversation\, interaction\, and participation. Save your seat HERE.

SUMMARY:☕🫱🏼‍🫲🏼 Coffee and Connections - Virtual Meetup for VR Suppliers/Vendors
DESCRIPTION:What if we stopped waiting for the “perfect” event to show up and started creating a different kind of industry gathering? \nThis SPECIAL EDITION of Coffee & Connections is a two-hour\, brainstorming-style conversation for vendors and suppliers in the vacation rental industry who want to explore ideas for creating small-scale regional meetups\, strengthening relationships with property managers\, and building more opportunities for local connection\, collaboration\, and conversation. \n➡️ You do not need to have hosted an event before.\n➡️ You might have years of experience putting together meetups.\n➡️ You might have an idea scribbled in your notes app.\n➡️ You might simply believe there has to be a better way to connect locally. \nCome ready to talk about: \n🔺 What has worked and what absolutely hasn’t\n🔺 Different formats\, topics\, locations\, and approaches\n🔺 How vendors can collaborate instead of trying to do everything alone\n🔺 What creates real value for property managers\n🔺 How we make these gatherings about relationships and community\, not just another sales opportunity\n🔺 Ideas we haven’t even thought of yet \nThis is meant to be a working room. I don’t have a presentation prepared and for those who know me best\, I won’t be talking “at” you either. I want participation. Questions. Different opinions. Lessons learned. Half-baked ideas. “What if we tried this?” conversations. My hope is that we leave with fresh perspectives\, new ideas\, potential collaborations\, and maybe a few plans that actually get put into motion. \nI believe deeply in community. I believe vendors and suppliers have an incredible opportunity to help create stronger regional connections across this industry. And I think we’re only scratching the surface of what that could look like. \nSo… let’s get the right people in a room and see what happens. Seats are limited to the first 25 people. This is intentionally a small\, participatory group\, so please only register if you plan to attend. If something changes\, I ask that you let me know so I can offer your seat to someone on the waitlist. \nAnd fair warning: I have a feeling this may only be the beginning of the conversation. 😉 \n********************************************************************************************* \nWHO SHOULD COME – Does this describe you?\n✔️ a vendor/supplier providing a service/product to vacation rental property managers\n✔️ ambitious\n✔️ enjoy building relationships\n✔️ eager to share and learn\n✔️ want a sense of community\n✔️ believe we are better together\n✔️ don’t own a high horse (fun fact\, my sister is allergic to them) \nFor my property manager friends feeling left out\, hang tight – Join us for our ongoing Sips and Strategies online events! \nAre you a vendor and a PM? No cross pollinating; sign up where you spend most of your focus in your business. Don’t be weird about it 😉 \n  \n📢 DO NOT FORGET to pre-register so you can hop in immediately once it’s showtime! Registration required for entry. ⚠️ \n \nWHO THIS IS FOR:\nThis casual virtual meeting gathers vendors/suppliers together who provide services/products to vacation rental property managers. If you are not representing a vendor\, you will be removed from the invite. \nTHE INTENTION:\nI hope to foster a more cohesive community amongst the vendors within the industry. This is a place where we’ll connect\, learn\, and create valuable relationships outside of the conferences. \n  \nNotetakers will not be permitted access. \nHost reserves the right to record the session for private review only – these meetings will not be shared publicly. \nA feedback request form may be sent post-session for your input.

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: What Worked\, What Didn’t & What’s Next: A year-end reflection & planning session
DESCRIPTION:Most of us spend the year moving from one thing to the next without ever really stopping long enough to look at what happened. We finish one project and move straight into another. We solve one problem and five more show up behind it. We keep saying we’ll slow down when things settle down\, but somehow they never really do. And then December rolls around and suddenly everyone is talking about goals for next year… \nBut before we start adding more to the list\, it might be worth asking a few better questions first. What actually worked this year? What took way more time and energy than it should have? What did you keep doing simply because you’ve always done it that way? What are you proud of? What are you tired of carrying? And what do you want to be more intentional about moving forward? \nWe’re not going to waste your time creating a giant list of goals that you’ll look back on in a few months and feel defeated by. Instead\, we’re going to create the space to slow down\, look back\, take stock\, and get honest about what worked\, what didn’t\, what you’re ready to let go of\, and what actually deserves your attention next. \nWhether you are a solopreneur\, founder\, business owner\, senior leader\, manager\, or team member\, if you rarely make time to pause and reflect on how you are working and leading\, this room is for you. It’s also a great chance to connect with others\, learn from how they’re thinking through similar challenges\, and leave feeling a little less alone in the things you’re working through. \nWorkshop Value: $49 \nWe offer a sliding scale so you can choose the rate that feels right for you. Pick the option that works best for your budget and come join us – no questions asked! \n********************************************************** \nPre-registration is required\, as we intentionally keep these groups small to allow for meaningful conversation\, interaction\, and participation.
