Like when I host a party. I hope my guests get along. But if not, how interesting!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like to think of myself as the host at a party, and, if everybody is having a good time, so much the better.
I always like to think I'm having a dinner party, and I'm the host, and the audience are my guests.
We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It's our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.
I like when guests come over early and we chop veggies and talk and play music.
What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?
Sometimes I don't want to stand around a room full of strangers, chitchatting about nothing, so I'll come late to a party - and leave early. Though now that I'm saying this in a magazine, I'll probably never be invited to another one.
Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I'm invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who'll play the piano after dinner, and I know you're not really invited for yourself. You're just an ornament.
I'm really not a party person. I'm in the business of working with 100 people every day, so I don't revel in meeting a roomful of people in my leisure time.
I'm always shocked when I get an invitation. People are always shocked when they see me at a party.
I'm part of the party, getting the crowd fired up, singing songs, pouring drinks, whatever it takes to get them to have a good time. When I walk into the meet-and-greet, someone's always going to have a story, a sad story or a happy story.
