RANDOM THOUGHTS FOR THIS WEEK

By
Education & Training with Performance Development Strategies

Once again we had another professional Zoom presentation today.  Anna Banana Kruchten CRS CRB, Phoenix Broker spoke on business plans.  Anna, I love the arrangement and humor in your slides.  I know that getting conversations going in presentations can sometimes be challenging but humor breaks the ice.  I felt like Anna and I were on the same page.  When I talk about planning I talk about professional and personal life wheels.

When talking about newsletters some people said they have stopped doing them.  Beth Atalay said she does a highlight of a neighborhood restaurant.  So this one from me and story to go with it.

Lefertis Gyro

I am in an Restaurant Purveyers network and we meet for a dinner the last Monday of every month to trade leads.  We haven't met for  few months and our leader called the meeting for Monday.  Restaurants in New York are 50%. Some declined because of Covid.  I declined because I am in Port St. Lucie but said I would join if we could set up Zoom.  Someone made it happen.  So the meeting was at a wonderful Greek restaurant,Lefteris Gyro and Greek Restaurant located on Marble Avenue in Pleasantville, NY.  The owner is great and threw all types of food on the table for us.  As she was passing some things down the table I asked if she could pass some down here.  She said sure by Federal Express.

We said our goodbyes and those at the restaurant were talking about snow.  Yes, it snowed in Armonk today but in Port St. Lucie it was 84 and sunny.  I couldn't help texting that to my daughters today.

People say enjoy your vacation.  I say what vacation?  I am working hard but love doing it here in Florida at this time.

I love Greek food - I don't think I ever ate at that specific restaurant but I definitely loved the one in Tarrytown. Yum!

Grant, have yet to be able to watch an AR Zoom meeting.  Tuesday at noon always seems to be busy.  Sounds like your restaurant Zoom meeting really worked, and it is nice to be able to work ANYWHERE.

Do they let you bring your own food to a restaurant zoom meeting? I must ponder Grant Schneider

Grant, our restaurants can only have 25% capacity, and some have decided that isn't enough to open.  Hope they don't go out of business, as we have already seen many go by the wayside.
