Who we are when nobody s looking is really who we are. There are variations of this phrase and for most it is convicting and motivates us to increase the integrity of how we move in life and work. In the cafe, we talk a lot about hospitality regarding guests and more recently we have talked about hospitality for the staff. But what about the people that support and are vested in your businesses through services and products?

Today on Shift Break we will be talking about the importance of extending our hospitality to vendors like delivery drivers, bakeries, service companies, and others. Whether in-person or over the phone, how we treat people matters and either builds relationships or erodes them.

As goes the relationships, so goes the business.
