    Gum Removal in Hotels
    Gum removal in hotels is one of the more important tasks set for hotel cleaning crews. This is because the presence of chewing gum pollution in hotels greatly detracts from the comfortable atmosphere of cleanliness and welcome that most hotels strive for. And, because chewing gum is so prevalent in our society, the fact of the matter is that gum removal in hotels will remain something that is very important.Areas that need active gum removal in hotels:Nearly every area of most hotels will require some sort of gum removal, as chewing gum soiling is common in all areas where people go. Indeed, gum is chewed quite often in order to freshen b

    Finding and Expressing Your Voice
    Each of us has a unique and significant set of traits, abilities, passions, and skills that we offer to the world. This is our voice. When we are expressing our voice we feel significant, valuable, and joyful. We seek and find a sense of meaning in our work and in our lives when we are operating at this level. When we are expressing our voice we are in alignment with who we are. I have met many people in organizations who are doing this. They love their jobs; they are passionate about what they do; they love making a contribution; they are constantly learning and growing; and they feel fulfilled doing their work. When you have an organization where eve
    It’s easy to say it's only a job. And the monetary compensation of a job is certainly a means to an end. If this is not enough and you are stressed by one-too-many seemingly perplexing and frustrating moments at work, consider these possibilities.

    1. Make sure other areas of your life are fulfilling, e.g. family, social life, physical activity, spirituality, community, etc.

    When things aren't going well in more than one area of your life it's like trying to balance on a tight rope while standing on one foot. Build up your satisfaction in other areas of your life, so you don't have to pick up that other foot and head for a fall.

    2. Change the viewing or the doing. (Source of phrase: Bill O'Hanlon, Author of 'Do One Thing Different: Ten Simple Ways to Change Your Life.')

    How can the situation be reframed or viewed so that you can live with it OR how can you DO something about the situation?

    Not in the job that you want? What can you learn from it that you haven't noticed yet? Interview a colleague to get a perspective (change the viewing) OR find another assignment (change the doing).

    3. No More Excuses.

    If you find yourself saying, 'If only he/she/they/the company would _______,' determine what you are going to do if he/she/they/the company doesn't________.

    4. Employ the Gandhi Method.

    At some point we all have probably been on the receiving end of this old management tactic. We raise an issue only to get assigned the task to deal with it. But then, what is so bad about that? I say pre-empt those management tricksters and assign it to yourself, employing what I call the *Gandhi method.*

    Be the change you want to see in the world. – Mahatma Gandhi

    5. Get It Taken Care Of.

    If Point 4 isn't working, get that need met somewhere else. What I call a “sideways” approach, can work. If you can take all your focus off of the current “hot spot,” you create room for movement or new ideas. (Bonus tip: Don’t get hung up on identifying the one-perfect step. Just take some step in the general right direction.) Examples:

  • Seek challenge by taking a class, volunteering, etc.
  • Seek advice for dealing with toxic relationships on the web, through books, etc.
  • Not feeling appreciated? Ask family and friends for encouraging feedback.

  • 6. Having Buddies Is Good.

    7. Interview people who appear to be enjoying their work.

    Sometimes it helps to hear from someone who seems to be doing just fine. Seek those people out. It only takes one new idea or perspective to re-energize or inspire you. You’ll want to find out what has allowed some people you respect and admire to work/live in your organization.

    8. Research interesting jobs or create your own job (really?).

    Many companies have an internal job posting mechanism. Check it out regularly. Even if you don't feel you meet the requirements of the job, if it looks interesting, interview the person in charge to learn more about that type of work.

    Another option -- while meeting the expectations of your current assignment, start doing things that interest you and clearly add value to your company. While running a manufacturing project, I began working with teams in the areas of valuing diversity, respectful treatment in the workplace, and career/skill development. This evolved into a full time assignment for me.

    9. Darn, I’m Good!

    There was a point in my corporate career when I was required to document how I was qualified for my current assignment. I really resented having to do that, but after investing over 20 hours on this task, and compiling a 1-inch thick file, I realized how much I had to offer, whether I was with my current employer or not. That helped me to feel not so vulnerable.

    10. Sit with the Discomfort.

    What do you do when you have tweaked your situation to a point of exhaustion, put your best into exploring other options or making your environment better and there is still a noticeable, more-than-annoying dissatisfaction? Maybe it is time to just sit with it. Contrary to what you might think, I don’t mean, “give up.”

    A Final Note…

    If you find that no amount of tweaking of your current job, career, or situation seems to be working, know that you are not alone and this is a perfectly normal part of the career development cycle. It might just mean that you’ve outgrown your current situation and are ready for a new challenge.
