Building Emotional Connections and Customer Loyalty  Shep interviews Michael Cecchi-Azzolina, owner of Cecchi's Bar & Grill and author of Your Table Is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maître D'. He shares insights from his extensive experience in the restaurant industry about how kindness and creating an emotional connection with customers help deliver exceptional service.   This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What is hospitality mentality?  What are the differences between technical service skills and the soft service skills (the softer, people-focused side of service)?  Why is emotional connection important in business?  What lessons can businesses learn from the hospitality industry?  How can businesses identify candidates with a natural aptitude for delivering exceptional customer service?  Top Takeaways:    The “hospitality mentality" is about the attitude and warmth that staff bring to their roles in serving customers. People crave acknowledgment and kindness, elevating a customer's experience from good to amazing.     Customer service is not just about technical execution. Customers resonate with the "soft side" of service, which is all about the emotional connection that makes them feel welcome and motivates them to come back.     An emotional connection is a powerful tool in hospitality. Customers go to restaurants not just for the food but for the joy and comfort it brings them. When you understand and cater to the customer's emotional needs, you can generate repeat business and nurture loyalty within your customer base.    Creating a great customer experience hinges on hiring the right people. Technical skills can be trained for, and experience can be earned. Look for candidates with a people-oriented mindset and a genuine passion for creating great customer experiences.      Building an amazing customer experience is all about the details. In a restaurant setting, details such as ensuring the music is just the right volume so as not to disrupt the conversation, lighting that sets the perfect mood, and friendly staff that acknowledge customers right away all contribute to the overall experience.    Kindness can be the golden rule in any industry. It's a simple yet overlooked way to enhance customer and employee interactions and build loyalty.     Authentic leaders can transform a business. When owners or managers work alongside their staff, it elevates the whole team's performance. It improves employee morale and connects with customers, making everyone feel appreciated and special.    Plus, Michael shares how running a restaurant is like being on a Broadway stage.

Ci sono tutti i grandi marchi della nautica, e anche volti nuovi, a presentare gli ultimi modelli dei più innovativi, performanti, eleganti e anche sostenibili yacht, barche a vela e imbarcazioni di ogni taglia e tipologia. Il Salone Nautico internazionale di Genova, arrivato alla 64 esima edizione ha aperto i battenti oggi e durerà fino al 24 settembre, con più spazi rispetto all'edizione precedente e un "contenitore" più completo, grazie all'avanzamento dei lavori del Waterfront di levante di Genova, progettato dall'architetto Renzo Piano, anche se resta ancora un pezzo di cantiere: il nuovo ingresso nel "vecchio" Palasport ristrutturato, le barche esposte anche nel canale che circonda per intero l'isola del Padiglione Blu.Il dato annunciato oggi dal presidente di Confindustria Nautica Saverio Cecchi subito dopo la cerimonia di inaugurazione del Salone Nautico e contenuto nel report dell'ufficio studi "La nautica in cifre Log" è storico: il fatturato della nautica italiana nel 2023 è arrivato a quota 8,33 miliardi, un nuovo massimo per l'industria. Un miliardo di euro in più, pari al 13,6% di crescita sul 2022 per un fatturato quasi triplicato negli ultimi otto anni. Lo stesso presidente Cecchi, lo scorso 2 settembre in occasione della presentazione dell'evento, ha ricordato che il settore è ormai stabilmente il quarto pilastro del made in Italy (insieme a moda, arredo, alimentare).Sono intervenuti ai microfoni di Sebastiano Barisoni: Marco Fortis, docente di Economia industriale e Commercio estero presso la Facoltà di Scienze politiche dell'Università Cattolica di Milano, è anche direttore e vicepresidente della Fondazione Edison, Carla Demaria consigliere delegato di Sanlorenzo, CEO di Blugame brand del gruppo Sanlorenzo e Past President di Confindustria Nautica, Piero Formenti vice presidente di Confindustria Nautica da due mandati e dal 1979 proprietario e A.D. di Zar Formenti e Pietro Lucchese, CEO di Mr.Blu Yacht Dealers. La Fed taglia i tassi di mezzo punto e lo farà ancoraLa Fed apre una nuova era e taglia i tassi di interesse di mezzo punto, in quella che è la prima riduzione dal 2020. La decisione di portare il costo del denaro ad una forchetta compresa fra il 4,75% e il 5% punta a prevenire che il graduale raffreddamento del mercato del lavoro si trasformi in un completo stop. E mostra la determinazione della banca a centrare l'obiettivo di un atterraggio morbido per l'economia, evitando una tanto temuta recessione. E, sicuramente, i tassi scenderanno di altro mezzo punto entro la fine dell'anno, decidendo riunione per riunione. "L'economia è forte e siamo impegnati a mantenerla così forte", ha detto il presidente Jerome Powell osservando come la crescita media del Pil è stimata restare "solida" al +2% con un tasso di disoccupazione al 4,4% alla fine di quest'anno e un'inflazione al 2,1% nel 2025. "I rischi al rialzo per l'inflazione sono calati", ha aggiunto Powell che, mentre Wall Street ha ingranato la marcia positiva e l'oro ha toccato nuovi record, ha osservato come l'approccio paziente adottato dalla Fed nell'ultimo anno ha dato i suoi frutti sul fronte dei prezzi.Nell'annunciare la sua storica decisione, la banca centrale americana ha ribadito il suo "impegno alla massima occupazione e a un'inflazione al 2%", ovvero gli obiettivi stabiliti nel suo mandato. "Abbiamo guadagnato una maggiore fiducia in merito a un calo sostenibile dell'inflazione verso il 2%, e riteniamo che i rischi per centrare i nostri obiettivi sull'occupazione e l'inflazione siano più bilanciati. Le prospettive economiche sono incerte, e saremo attenti ai rischi", ha assicurato la Fed nel comunicato diffuso al termine della riunione, dal quale emerge che la decisone non è stata unanime. Il taglio aiuterà l'economia a due mesi dalle elezioni americane, esponendo la Fed a critiche. Con al decisione odierna infatti la banca centrale scontenta quei democratici che chiedevano un taglio di 75 punti base e tutti i repubblicani che premevano invece per rimandare ogni decisione a dopo il voto. "Questo taglio dimostra che Powell ha atteso troppo per tagliare i tassi", ha commentato la senatrice liberal Elizabeth Warren, chiedendo ulteriori riduzioni del costo del denaro. La prossima riunione della Fed cade proprio il giorno dopo le elezioni, liberando le mani alla Fed anche se i risultati - secondo gli osservatori - non saranno ancora noti. Per la Fed il taglio in un contesto di economia solida ma in rallentamento. Mai in passato si è trovata infatti in un simile situazione. L'obiettivo di Powell è quello di un atterraggio morbido, che sarebbe una vittoria per la Fed. Negli ultimi sei cicli di allentamento monetario dal 1989, solo in due casi - nel 1995 e nel 1998 - la banca centrale americana è riuscita a evitare una recessione. In ambedue i casi alla guida c'era Alan Greenspan mentre Jerome Powell spera di centrare il suo successo. Il mercato azionario e quello dei bond anticipano che la Fed centrerà un soft landing stile 1995, e il taglio da mezzo punto sembra puntare - secondo gli osservatori - proprio in questa direzione.Il commento di Riccardo Sorrentino, Il Sole 24 Ore a Focus Economia.

You will well know that at TM&TM we tackle the pressing intellectual questions of the day. There's next to no prevarication in our latest episode as Fergus & Lee ask just what was Humpty Dumpty? Is the Forbidden Fruit actually a PIWI? And what connects the Tuscan Maremma with Sussex? But it's not all fun and games. Firstly we wish FotP Janina our best wishes as she has lost her voice (she had when we recorded this mess 3 weeks ago). Then we deal with a most serious complaint that has arrived via unofficial channels. Karen Jenkins was furious when she accosted Lee and gave him a piece of her mind. He deserved it. We hope to use the AAA technique as we Acknowledge, Apologise, and Assure Karen that we will right the severe injustice she has discovered. If you were expecting one of our host to ‘Go Full Partridge', you'd probably think it would be Lee. Well, you'd be wrong. Ferg out-Partridges Partridge as he introduces a new segment: Ferg's Nordic Stories' This leads to another issue as Ferg takes umbrage with Lee's response to Brad Horne's March Madness questions.

Your Table is Ready is a funny and endearing memoir of high-end restaurant life in New York City.

Can leaders strive for more inclusivity in the workplace and improve outcomes in the process? Employers invest in and manage their key asset — talent — to be as high-performing as possible. Like a winning stock, it can be argued that successful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) actions likewise pay back over time: that dividend is paid to the company through higher performance, talent acquisition, training, and other savings — as well as to society in general. How can leaders make informed choices at the right moments to create lasting change? In Diversity Dividend, scientist, attorney, and Harvard Professor Paola Cecchi-Dimeglio uses a combination of data and real-world application to create a new view of gender and racial equity in the workplace. Aiming to be both empowering and comprehensive, Diversity Dividend seeks to remove the guesswork that naturally arises when some methods work and others fail, thereby giving leaders the tools they need to make more impactful choices. Joined in conversation by Oriona Spaulding, Chief Operating Officer of Microsoft's Venture Fund, M12, the two leaders discuss ways to remove the systemic barriers that prevent women and underrepresented groups from advancing in their organizations. Dr. Paola Cecchi-Dimeglio is a behavioral and data scientist (Big Data and AI), as well as a lawyer. As a decision science, organizational behavior, and gender specialist, she is advising some of the largest for-profit and non-profit organizations in the world by enabling organizations to tap into insights from behavioral science and related fields, allowing senior leadership to make better and more inclusive decisions for themselves and their companies. She works with executives from Fortune 500 firms, governments, and top professional service firms, including Magic Circle law firms and AmLaw 100. She has developed several software and SAAS tools and owns several patents. As Chief Operating Officer of Microsoft's Venture Fund, M12, Oriona Spaulding leads the fund's operating team, including portfolio development, marketing and communications, strategy, and fund operations including finance. Prior to joining M12, Oriona spent 14 years in various capacities within Microsoft after joining as an antitrust attorney. Most recently, she served as Chief of Staff for the EVP of Business Development, Strategy, and Ventures overseeing organizational strategy, operations, and communications and helping manage several international partnerships and market expansions. Her roles have allowed Oriona to spend a great deal of time working closely with Microsoft's field teams around the world and some of Microsoft's largest and smallest customers.

From entry-level to the boardroom, what works to create large-scale change in organizations looking to accelerate their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and reap financial benefits. Every leader endeavors to invest in and manage their key asset--talent--to be as high-performing as possible. Like a winning stock, successful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) actions pay back over time. That dividend is paid both to the company--through not only higher performance but also talent acquisition, training, and other savings--and to society in general. In Diversity Dividend, Paola Cecchi-Dimeglio offers a fresh, detailed look at how to realize gender and racial equity along the company-employee pathway--from attracting and interviewing applicants to onboarding, promoting, and sustaining hires--and how to remove systemic barriers at the organizational level that prevent women and underrepresented groups from advancing. While other books have delved into DEI and the challenges inherent in sustaining successful efforts, no book has done so in concert with the depth and scope of data, basis in science, and application in the real world. In Diversity Dividend, Cecchi-Dimeglio artfully combines accessible anecdotal cases--where success was achieved or where, despite best intentions and efforts, things did not go as expected--with scientifically rigorous solutions as well as applications of data and big data. As empowering as it is comprehensive, Diversity Dividend (MIT Press, 2023) helps remove the guesswork and near-superstition that naturally arise when some methods work and others fail, thereby giving leaders the tools and insight to make informed choices at the right moments to create lasting change.

That dividend is paid both to the company--through not only higher performance but also talent acquisition, training, and other savings--and to society in general. In Diversity Dividend, Paola Cecchi-Dimeglio offers a fresh, detailed look at how to realize gender and racial equity along the company-employee pathway--from attracting and interviewing applicants to onboarding, promoting, and sustaining hires--and how to remove systemic barriers at the organizational level that prevent women and underrepresented groups from advancing. While other books have delved into DEI and the challenges inherent in sustaining successful efforts, no book has done so in concert with the depth and scope of data, basis in science, and application in the real world. In Diversity Dividend, Cecchi-Dimeglio artfully combines accessible anecdotal cases--where success was achieved or where, despite best intentions and efforts, things did not go as expected--with scientifically rigorous solutions as well as applications of data and big data. As empowering as it is comprehensive, Diversity Dividend (MIT Press, 2023) helps remove the guesswork and near-superstition that naturally arise when some methods work and others fail, thereby giving leaders the tools and insight to make informed choices at the right moments to create lasting change.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Lisa Gautier. Lisa cares deeply about the hair on your head. That might sound weird but let me tell you why. 25 years ago, she and her husband started an environmental public charity called Matter of Trust. Matter of Trust is famous for running a program where they collect hair clippings from thousands of salons. They then form the hair clippings into mats that soak up oil spills because, as you've likely experienced, hair is excellent at collecting oil. Lisa co-founded the environmental public charity Matter of Trust in 1998. She concentrates on the positive, delivering sensible solutions and nurturing teams dedicated to ecology. Lisa also implements transformational programs that promote renewable resources, recycling, reuse, and repair including Matter of Trust's Eco-Industrial Hub and its Eco-Home. The Hub is a working model factory with exhibits about clean air, water, and energy. The immersive Eco-Home showcases how urban renters can have impactful, earth-friendly apartments and grow edible gardens. Through lectures and interviews, Lisa provides answers for the often asked “What can I do?” Prior to Matter of Trust, Lisa was Assistant Director in Paris at Valeo (International Development & Treasury 1995-1996) and at FedEx Logistics (1994). Previously in San Francisco, she worked at Cecchi & Massoni (Legal and Accounting 1985-1993). Her studies include French Language & Culture (Sorbonne, France 1993-4) then Zoo Management & Breeding of Endangered Species (Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust, UK 1983-4). Lisa serves on the Boards for MatterofTrust.org, Biomimicry.org and RandallMuseum.org. She resides in California, with her husband and their three daughters.

A front-of-the-house Kitchen Confidential from a career maître d'hotel who manned the front of the room in New York City's hottest and most in-demand restaurants. From the glamorous to the entitled, from royalty to the financially ruined, everyone who wanted to be seen—or just to gawk—at the hottest restaurants in New York City came to places Michael Cecchi-Azzolina helped run. His phone number was passed around among those who wanted to curry favor, during the decades when restaurants replaced clubs and theater as, well, theater in the most visible, vibrant city in the world.Besides dropping us back into a vanished time, Your Table Is Ready takes us places we'd never be able to get into on our own: Raoul's in Soho with its louche club vibe; Buzzy O'Keefe's casually elegant River Café (the only outer-borough establishment desirable enough to be included in this roster), from Keith McNally's Minetta Tavern to Nolita's Le Coucou, possibly the most beautiful room in New York City in 2018, with its French Country Auberge-meets-winery look and the most exquisite and enormous stands of flowers, changed every three days.From his early career serving theater stars like Tennessee Williams and Dustin Hoffman at La Rousse right through to the last pre-pandemic-shutdown full houses at Le Coucou, Cecchi-Azzolina has seen it all. In Your Table Is Ready, he breaks down how restaurants really run (and don't), and how the economics work for owners and overworked staff alike. The professionals who gravitate to the business are a special, tougher breed, practiced in dealing with the demanding patrons and with each other, in a very distinctive ecosystem that's somewhere between a George Orwell “down and out in….” dungeon and a sleek showman's smoke-and-mirrors palace.Your Table Is Ready is a rollicking, raunchy, revelatory memoir.Michael Cecchi-Azzolina has been in the restaurant industry for more than thirty-five years. From his early career at La Rousse, he has gone on to run the front of house at New York's most famous and influential restaurants, including The Water Club, The River Cafe, Raoul's, and Le Coucou. He lives in Manhattan.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9781250281982

New York City listeners will no doubt recognize Michael Cecchi-Azzolina's face, if not his name. For several decades now, he's run the dining rooms of some of the most popular, acclaimed, and influential restaurants in Manhattan, including Raoul's and Le Coucou. Michael's first book, Your Table is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maître D', which debuted just last week, is a no-holds-barred account of life in the front-of-house trenches, with all the vivid, sometimes lurid detail you'd expect. Andrew and MIchael sat down recently to discuss the book, its themes, and tangential issues such as guest etiquette (or lack thereof) and the most effective way to convey customer feedback.Andrew Talks to Chefs is a fully independent podcast and no longer affiliated with our former host network; please visit and bookmark our official website for all show updates, blog posts, personal and virtual appearances, and related news.
