Have you ever wrestled with an inner critic that berated you for any perceived flaws and prevented you from celebrating your strengths and achievements? While it can be difficult to fully accept yourself exactly as you are, self-acceptance is essential not only for your own happiness, but also the health of your relationships with others – and for leaders, self-acceptance is one of the keys to building high-performing teams.   Dr. Laura Gallaher is an organizational psychologist, keynote speaker, USA Today best-selling author, and leadership coach. After the space shuttle Columbia exploded upon reentry in 2003, the NASA Kennedy Space Center hired Laura and a team of organizational psychologists to change the cultural influences that were deemed to play a role in the tragedy. She worked for eight years with NASA to positively influence the culture, develop leadership capacity, and improve organizational performance at Kennedy Space Center, and was then hired by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to help manage radical changes with their performance management process and philosophy. Laura's company, Gallaher Edge, applies the science of human behavior to organizations so they can gain an edge, achieve together, and enjoy the journey. As our guest in Episode 227 of The Mindset Game® podcast, Laura shares the following: Why psychological safety, which begins with self-acceptance, is crucial for workforce success, as well as tips for leaders seeking to cultivate both Why self-acceptance should also include accepting your inner critic and striving to create harmony between them and your inner champion  The relationship between self-improvement and self-acceptance, and why accepting yourself as you are will not necessarily prevent you from continuing to grow and improve To get in touch with Dr. Laura Gallaher, find her on LinkedIn or take her quiz designed to assess your current level of self-acceptance at www.selfacceptancequiz.com. 

The week of 10/13 saw two major announcements come from both the Walt Disney Parks and Universal Parks and Entertainment and they couldn't be more different. Today, Matt and Casey discuss the new Lightning Lane Premier Pass coming to the Disney Parks beginning 10/23 at Disneyland and 10/30 at Walt Disney World as well as the opening date of Universal Epic Universe with tickets and packages going on sale on 10/22.

On this week's episode of Eating at a Meeting, I'm excited to welcome two incredible experts, Disability Rights Attorney Mary Vargas, and Hospitality Attorney Joshua Grimes, for an in-depth discussion on the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts US Inc. and Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant wrongful death lawsuit involving food allergies. Before it heads to court, we will unpack the case from all angles—guest safety, meeting planner responsibility, hotel and restaurant liability, and even the landlord's accountability. What lessons can we learn from this tragic case? How will it shape the future of food allergy management in the hospitality and events industry? These are crucial questions that we'll delve into deeply. Tune in as we explore what needs to change to ensure safer and more inclusive dining experiences for everyone—because the safety and well-being of every guest should always come first.

This Day in Legal History: Senate Adopts Cloture RuleOn this day in legal history, the U.S. Senate made a significant procedural change that would shape legislative debates for decades to come. On March 8, 1917, the Senate adopted the cloture rule, known as Rule 22, as a mechanism to limit the duration of filibusters. This development was a response to the procedural blockades that had increasingly frustrated the legislative process. Filibusters, long speeches or debates deliberately extended by senators to delay or block legislative action, had become a common tactic for minority opposition. The cloture rule introduced a way for the Senate to vote to close debate on a bill, requiring a supermajority to do so.Originally, Rule 22 stipulated that two-thirds of Senators present and voting could vote to invoke cloture and thus end a filibuster, forcing a vote on the bill in question. This threshold meant that a significant majority was necessary to overcome determined minority opposition. However, the landscape of Senate procedures would change again in 1975, when the requirement for invoking cloture was modified. The Senate lowered the threshold from two-thirds of Senators to three-fifths, or sixty Senators, acknowledging the need to facilitate a smoother legislative process while still preserving the minority's power to debate vigorously.The adoption and subsequent amendment of the cloture rule reflect the Senate's ongoing struggle to balance the rights of the minority to debate and delay with the majority's interest in legislative efficiency. These changes have had a profound impact on how the Senate operates, influencing the strategy and tactics of both majority and minority parties. Over the years, the use and implications of the cloture rule have continued to evolve, making it a critical aspect of parliamentary procedure in the U.S. Senate. As we look back on its adoption on March 8, 1917, we see not just a moment in legal history but a pivotal decision that continues to shape the dynamics of American democracy.In a spirited State of the Union speech aimed at revitalizing his 2024 reelection campaign against Donald Trump, President Joe Biden didn't name Trump directly but clearly targeted his "predecessor," emphasizing contrasts between their administrations. Biden's address, lasting over an hour, was not only a pitch for a second term but also a showcase of his first term's achievements, focusing on key issues like abortion rights, gun violence, foreign policy, and economic disparities. Despite concerns about his age, 81, Biden positioned his experience as an asset for leading America into the future, advocating for progressive taxation, healthcare reforms, and stricter gun control measures.Biden's speech came at a critical juncture, with polls suggesting a challenging race ahead against Trump, who has solidified his position as the likely Republican nominee. The event was politically charged, reflecting current global and domestic tensions, including support for Ukraine, debates over abortion rights, and the border crisis. Notably, Biden called for unity in addressing these challenges, while also taking a firm stance on foreign policy, particularly towards Russia and China.The response from Democrats was overwhelmingly positive, signaling strong party support for Biden as the 2024 race heats up. However, Republican reactions were mixed, highlighted by a strategic exchange between Biden and attendees over border security, underscoring the polarized political landscape. Biden's speech underscored a critical moment for American democracy, stressing the importance of defending democratic principles and addressing the nation's most pressing issues through bipartisan cooperation.Biden Says Freedom Under Threat as Speech Takes Aim at Trump (3)In the complex proceedings of Rite Aid Corp.'s bankruptcy, those who allege to have been harmed by the company's opioid dispensing practices, like Nancy Zailo, find themselves at a stark disadvantage. High-ranking executives, consultants, and secured creditors, including legal and financial firms, are prioritized in the repayment hierarchy, leaving little to nothing for thousands of opioid victims. Rite Aid's bankruptcy filing has essentially placed a hold on over 1,600 opioid-related lawsuits, with the company having not reached a settlement similar to its competitors, who have agreed to pay over $13 billion to resolve such claims.The bankruptcy process, expensive by nature, has amassed at least $200 million in advisory fees, further diminishing the funds available for unsecured creditors, among them the opioid claimants. The restructuring focuses on satisfying secured creditors, possibly leaving the company reorganized or sold without any provision for compensating opioid victims. This situation underscores the broader issue of using bankruptcy as a strategy to limit compensation to injured parties, despite the company's significant spending on executive bonuses and advisory fees before and during the bankruptcy.Rite Aid's role in the opioid crisis, highlighted by allegations of filling hundreds of thousands of invalid prescriptions and ignoring pharmacists' warnings, stands as a grim backdrop to the financial proceedings. Zailo's personal account of addiction, stemming from readily filled prescriptions at Rite Aid, illustrates the human cost behind the legal and financial machinations. Despite the company's considerable payouts in separate cases, a global settlement for opioid claims remains elusive, especially as Rite Aid navigates bankruptcy with the intent of emerging relieved of past liabilities and shielded from future lawsuits, leaving victims like Zailo facing the prospect of receiving no compensation.Rite Aid Pays Millions in Fees. Opioid Victims May Get Nothing.Special Counsel Jack Smith has labeled former President Donald Trump's claim of presidential immunity in the classified documents mishandling case as "frivolous" and a tactic to delay the trial. This assertion comes as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to consider Trump's immunity claim in a separate case related to efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat. Smith's filing contends that Trump's immunity claim, based on actions taken after his presidency, holds no merit since the alleged conduct, detailed in a 40-count indictment, occurred post-presidency and pertains to issues of national security, making them indisputably non-personal.Trump defends himself by arguing that the charges arise from decisions made in his final presidential days, including attempts to reclassify certain records as personal. However, prosecutors maintain these documents, involving sensitive topics like nuclear capabilities, cannot be deemed personal. Smith's response also addresses Trump's motion to dismiss the case, which suggests a selective prosecution bias, highlighting Trump's case's distinct nature due to "repeated and flagrant obstructive efforts" compared to other officials, including President Joe Biden, who faced no charges after allegedly mishandling classified information post-vice presidency due to different circumstances, including cooperation with investigations and the impracticality of securing a conviction.Trump prosecutor calls immunity bid in documents case a delay tactic | ReutersA proposed class action lawsuit filed by Disneyland maintenance engineer Charlie Torres in Orange County, California, alleges that Disneyland's maintenance workers are subject to unfair labor practices, including the requirement to use their own tools without proper compensation, denial of overtime pay, and failure to provide legally mandated breaks. The lawsuit accuses Walt Disney Parks and Resorts of not adhering to California's labor laws, which dictate that employees must be compensated for work-related expenses and, if using their own tools, be paid double the state's minimum wage. The legal action seeks up to seven figures in backpay for more than 100 affected workers, highlighting issues around the violation of state laws on reimbursement for tools, appropriate overtime premiums, and payment for on-duty meal and rest breaks. Disneyland has not yet responded to the lawsuit, which underscores a significant disparity between the company's public image and its treatment of employees responsible for maintaining its status as "the happiest place on Earth."Disneyland not 'happiest place' for workers, wage lawsuit claims | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Antonio Vivaldi.Antonio Vivaldi, an iconic figure of the Baroque music era, is celebrated for his virtuosic compositions, particularly for the violin. Born in Venice in 1678, Vivaldi was a priest, violinist, and composer who left a lasting impact on the musical world. He is perhaps best known for his work "The Four Seasons," a set of four violin concertos that depict scenes from each season of the year. Among these, "Winter" (Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, RV 297, 'L'inverno') stands out for its vivid musical portrayal of the cold, bleak, and frosty season. The first movement, "Allegro non molto," captures the essence of winter's chill and the warmth of the hearth through its dynamic contrasts and striking melodies. Vivaldi's ability to evoke imagery and emotions through his music has cemented "Winter" as a staple in the classical repertoire, showcasing his masterful command over the baroque concerto form.Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, “Winter” from his set “The Four Seasons.”  Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

On April 26, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed a bill to raise the nation's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, defying President Joe Biden by attaching sweeping spending cuts for the next decade. Walt Disney Parks and Resorts filed a lawsuit against Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his hand-picked oversight board. According to the complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northwestern District of Florida, the theme park giant is accusing DeSantis of engaging in “a targeted campaign of government retaliation” as “punishment for Disney's protected speech.” Former President Donald Trump's legal team sent a letter to Congress asking them to intervene in the dispute over classified documents, alleging the Justice Department has misled the courts and the public about how sensitive memos ended up at the former president's Mar-a-Lago estate. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot where hoteliers check-in and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Ryan Embree: Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Suite Spot, a special edition of the Suite Spot. We've got a great guest with us today that I'm gonna be introducing here, but first wanna thank everyone for taking the time to join us on the Suite Spot and listening wherever you are across the country. With me today, I have the vice president of digital marketing for Aimbridge Hospitality, Michael Curran. He has over 27 years of experience in the hospitality digital marketing industry, including names like Walt Disney Parks and Resorts online, Hilton hotels, and for Aimbridge, he works with independent hotel brands, IHG, Hilton, and Marriot, which we're gonna talk about here. He's got extensive background in operations, website and content development, and online media strategy and execution. And I just found out he's one heck of a pinball player as well. So Michael, hello and welcome to the Suite Spot. Michael Curran: Good morning, Ryan. Happy to be here. Ryan Embree: Awesome. Well, as we do with all of our new guests on the Suite Spot, tell us a little bit about your background in the industry and maybe the journey that led you to Aimbridge hospitality. Michael Curran: So I think I'm one of the few people that went to school for this and has made a lifelong career out of it. There are folks that meander in and out of the industry, but I started back in the nineties going to school for this and 27 years later, I'm still here. So yeah, I actually picked up the major on a whim. I started out in broadcasting, found out the people in broadcasting are not the type of people I enjoyed being around . So I dropped that major and I happened to have lunch with the head of the department for hospitality and parks at our university. And he sold me on it. I started with Hilton hotels, property operations. I came up through front desk reservations, revenue management sales. I have tremendous respect for F&B people, but that's the one area I've never worked in because that an incredibly difficult division. But that part didn't do. But I jumped into the online world in 1998 and I'll never forget at the meeting I was in, the regional VP for Hilton was sitting at the end of the table in our daily standup meeting, and picture it in my mind right now, he raised a piece of paper. "Hilton sent me something about this worldwide web. Does anybody want to deal with this?" Ryan Embree: Michael Curran: Nobody raised their hand. I'm like, yeah, sure. Why not? So that was it. I never turned back. From that point on I've been on the online part of the industry. Ryan Embree: Well, that was a good bet to say that that little worldwide web was, was gonna take off and have somewhat of an impact. And yeah, as far as your broadcasting, I mean, here, you do a little broadcasting here, so you're able to kind of do that, but yep. That's something else we have in common. Both of us went to school for hospitality. You rarely hear that though in our industry, you know, it's usually, I just found myself here and kind of jumped into it.

This week on the Voices of CX Podcast, we talked to Alec Dalton, Co-founder & Partner of the Hospitality Leadership Academy about service concepts he's perfected over his decade in hotel operations and global quality management with brands like Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, and Disney. We discuss why approaching exceptional service with an industrial mindset that leaves room for personal agency and empathy is the best of both worlds.
