𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲: In 2024, I didn’t hit record-breaking numbers in my recruitment business. (And trust me, my bar was intentionally sky-high.) But here’s the twist: I’ve never felt more successful. STOP. PAUSE. Take a breath and ask yourself: What if everything you know about success is outdated? Because success isn’t one-dimensional. It’s not just digits in your bank account. It’s a full-circle, 360-degree measurement of your life. Here’s what success looked like for me this year: ➡️ I made more than enough income while working smarter. ➡️ I got to know myself deeper than ever before. ➡️ I’ve built impactful human connections through recruitment worldwide ➡️ I gained more free time – precious, abundant free time. ➡️ I unapologetically showed up for myself: daily yoga, meditation, sports – because it fuels me. ➡️ My energy skyrocketed. ➡️ I never felt this balanced ➡️ I tuned into something bigger – a purpose that transcends just me: helping humanity. This purpose gave birth to an additional business: Heidiscoaching Not because I need it but because the world needs it. In 2025 let’s unlock a higher level of success—one that matters—for ourselves and for the world. How will you make 2025 a year of real, heart-centered success? #hiring #culture #hotelindustry #HR #hospitality #recruiting #uhnwi #2025

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. As we step into the season of stars, take a moment to stop. When you walk into a restaurant or hotel, remember this: True hospitality isn’t just service—it’s energy. And here’s the truth: energy cannot be faked. You feel it. You know it. It’s in how people show up, in the care they give, and in the light they bring. There’s one fundamental choice that separates people: ➡️One is as though stars stay in the sky—distant, untouchable, out of reach. ➡️The other is as though every action pulls a star from the heavens, planting it here on earth to light paths, spark ideas, and ignite possibilities. Choose wisely. One path dims in fear; the other blazes with the courage to create brilliance. Now, think about this: What are the highlights of your life? The sweetest memories? The moments that left you in awe? I’d bet they weren’t planned. They surprised you—came out of nowhere, like a shooting star streaking across your life. Because in the end, life’s most vivid imprints are a collection of those unexpected, dazzling moments. These are the moments that make life worth living. So go out there and be a star maker—crafting unforgettable brilliance, one moment at a time. The holidays remind us of something powerful: Every action, no matter how small, has the power to make someone feel like they’re standing under a sky full of stars. This season, let’s not just celebrate stars—let’s be them. And more importantly, let’s carry that brilliance far beyond the season. P.S. Got my thinking hat on… #hiring #culture #hotelindustry #HR #hospitality #recruiting #uhnwi

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗠𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀! Recently, I interviewed a chef who shared a perspective that blew me away. You know I have a taste for chefs—they don't sugarcoat. Like this one, he revealed that he evaluates every job opportunity using the four elements: AIR - WATER - EARTH - FIRE. Because, as in the kitchen, the magic lies in how well the elements come together. Here’s what he brought to the table: 𝗔𝗜𝗥: Does the recruiter’s approach allow me to breathe? Am I suffocated by ego or irrelevant questions, or do I feel respected and comfortable in their space? 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥: Will this role quench my thirst for growth, stability, and truth? Are the promises life-sustaining or just illusions? 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛: Can this position ground me, provide stability for my family, and offer the security I need to grow? 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘: Does this role ignite my passion and protect me from burnout? Can it shield me from toxicity and fuel my ambitions? This blend isn’t just for candidates—it’s a chef’s critique for recruiters too. Are we creating environments that meet these essential needs—or merely projecting illusions? After your next job interview, let it marinate and ask yourself—what’s really cooking? #hiring #culture #hotelindustry #HR #hospitality #recruiting #uhnwi #chefs #chef

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀… 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲. Just yesterday, a client asked me: "Isn't growth always better?” What they really meant was: 🔹 Should WIPS open more offices globally? 🔹 Add partners? 🔹 Hire dozens of people? Broader. Bigger. Better. Right? 𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴. Here’s the truth: Growth isn’t always the answer. When I took over WIPS 7+ years ago (an international recruitment agency for luxury hospitality, I believed I had to grow—expand like a balloon filling with air."—to prove success. Gamechanger: I realized the beauty of staying small. You see, small isn’t weak. Small is powerful. Why? ✅ Small is fast. Decisions happen quickly. ✅ Small is personal. No red tape, no long processes. Just connection. ✅ Small is smart. Simplicity beats unnecessary complexity every time. ✅ Small is sustainable. Less waste, more impact. Here’s the real deal: The work we do is intentional. Every move we make serves a purpose. And at the end of the year, we don’t just succeed—we thrive, with profits to prove it. Big businesses often lose their soul. Small businesses keep their heart. At WIPS, our purpose has always been clear: To connect brilliant talent with brilliant companies—bringing brilliance to the world. And staying small keeps us aligned, nimble, and creative—qualities big businesses often envy. And here is the thing: If you think being small can’t make a big impact, you’ve never lit a single match in the dark. Small isn’t less. It’s MORE. More impactful. More memorable. More real. So next time someone says, “Why not grow bigger?” I say: We’re growing deeper. Because small is beautiful. #hiring #culture #hotelindustry #HR #hospitality

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀! 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁? I had a conversation with a VP from a buzzing hospitality company about the future of the industry. He posed a question that lingered in the air, shimmering like the promise of a golden era in hospitality: “What do you think is missing for us to enter the golden age of hospitality? If you could send one message to the industry, what would it be?” I want to trumpet it from the heart of hospitality’s gold mine! Just like gold hitting record highs in 2024, in the hospitality industry, our people are our gold. Over time, their value consistently rises. Invest in them, and you’ll see returns far beyond any balance sheet. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. He didn’t just nod—he declared, “Only those who truly understand human value can rise to their brilliance. Agreed? #hiring #culture #hotelindustry #HR #hospitality #recruiting #uhnwi #gold

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝘀 (𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝘆)… I recently interviewed a candidate in a room so thick with ego, I could almost smell it – it was practically dripping off the walls! You know that feeling, right? When there's so much self-importance in the air, you’re just waiting for it to collapse and land on your head. Here's the thing: there's a difference between ego and confidence. Ego floats high, disconnected, while confidence stays grounded. And trust me, when interviewing, an intuitive recruiter can tell the difference. So next time you're in the hot seat, remember: stay grounded, keep your focus clear, and let your accomplishments speak without the need to shout. Confidence shines; ego… well, it just casts a shadow. #hiring #culture #hotelindustry #HR #hospitality #recruiting #uhnwi

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟰𝟬! 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲? This moment hasn’t led me to something new, but back to what truly matters: the heart of hospitality. When I first entered this industry, it was the love for people and the thrill of discovery that drew me in. Now, as a self-employed professional running my own recruitment and coaching agency, my purpose has deepened: To fulfill dreams and remind others that true richness lies not in the endless outward chase but in the connections we build and the richness of the heart. I am not a Headhunter. 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗮 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿. Let that sink in. My work is not transactional; it’s transformational. It’s about lives touched, uplifted, and inspired. In every interaction, I strive to hold us to our truest purpose—the love for people, the pulse that sustains us. Through clarity and discernment, I know that kindness is not weakness but powerful strength—the infinite intelligence of the heart. Hospitality is the universal heartbeat connecting us all. Every encounter is an opportunity to elevate each other and keep this pulse alive. This is the state of being from which I choose to live, act, and work. Here, our industry finds its soul. Will you join me? #hiring #culture #hotelindustry #HR #hospitality #recruiting #uhnwi

𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗗𝗘𝗡 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲! This will change the hospitality industry worldwide forever. From 2025 through 2030, the hotel industry is expected to grow like never before. Over 1,000 new hotels are projected to open each year globally, creating tens of thousands of roles in operations, management, and guest services annually. We’re entering a true Golden Age of Hospitality, and the need for top talent has never been more critical. For this momentous shift, we’re interviewing key executives. Today, we spoke with Marcel N.A. Holman, a leader known for transforming walls and spaces into iconic destinations. Marcel understands that anyone can build a hotel—but it takes people to fill it with heart, soul, and unforgettable experiences. Building hotels is one thing; bringing them to life takes a rare kind of talent. This era of growth demands a recruitment revolution—because, in hospitality’s golden moment, only the right strategy will turn this explosion of opportunity into a legacy of success.

𝗔𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿, 𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀! Now that’s a true nightmare! We’ve all seen the #OpenToWork banners, but maybe LinkedIn should introduce a Ghosting banner for those recruiters who vanish on candidates like a phantom after they interview them. Ghosting in recruitment is the real horror story! If you’re leaving candidates stranded in the dark forever, like ghosts lost in the night, after rounds of interviews with no word, guess what? You might be rocking the Ghosting banner without even realizing it! How to tear down that Ghosting banner: (before LinkedIn locks you up in LinkedIn Prison!) Let’s talk facts: Recruitment isn’t some bone-chilling ghost hunt. It’s about sparking human connections that light the way, not vanishing and leaving candidates stuck in the shadows like lost souls. When candidates invest their time and hear nothing back, it’s more than just pulling a ghost act—it’s the death of a human connection that could have been brought to life. Let’s cut to the chase: When candidates invest time and energy into the process and hear nothing, it’s more than just a missed opportunity—it’s a missed chance to be human. Nobody wants to serve time in the LinkedIn Ghosting Prison… So Guess what? #EndGhostingnow, because in the blink of an eye, the hunter becomes the haunted—treat candidates like your future depends on them because it might well!
