Weekly, our team has many conversations about being overworked, overwhelmed, and understaffed.

One of the most important things we can do is to shift our thinking about how we see and engage team members. We of them as “internal guests.” Thinking of the people who work for us as a client or a guest makes it possible to treat them in a new way.

We don’t know a single business owner who thinks about the external guest who walks in the door as “disposable.”  Use these tools and resources to engage your “internal guest.”

We Can Make a Difference One Voice at a Time!

Recently, I had a very exciting adventure on the “Hill” in D.C. with my AAMA friends. As a board member, one of our commitments is to advocate for those of us who make our living and lives in the entertainment space.

I have never been to our nation’s capital and the experience was one of the coolest parties I’ve ever been to. It might sound lame, but it felt as if we were doing something important. We weren’t sitting on the sidelines complaining about what Washington won’t do. Who knows if anyone was really listening. Who knows if our concerns will be taken on by the Senate and house representatives’ staff we communicated with. What I do know is doing nothing is not an option for me. I am committed to fighting for my right to party!

Advocacy is a powerful force that can drive positive change in our world. It involves raising your voice, standing up for what you believe in, and working towards a better future. Among the topics we tackled were rising costs of labor. We asked about the potential of a “training” wage for first time workers. We also brought up the need for H2B visas for temporary workers.

I was pretty excited to hear about the HERO bill, on the floor currently, that incentivizes employers in our space to employ young people who might otherwise fall through the cracks. I’m not sure we hear enough about these types of opportunities and when we do, we need to figure out how to support and help pass this type of legislation. Because I’m terrible at reading legalese, I’ve used Chatgpt.com to help summarize the bill for you.
