Yesterday was kind of a flip and crazy day. The handover day at the hotel when I am supposed to check out, deliver all my achievements, describe my handovers and just make suer that my partner is well prepared for another week.
This Monday we had in kind of panic deciscion asked a restaruant consultancy to join us for one hour to support and mentor us in the strategy and ours plans.
To be honest... I did not have to much expectations of the meeting, but it turned out to be one of the most valuable spent money for some time in the hotel.
At least to me... and that is the thing. The whole attitude, the atmosphere and the feeling was kind of strange from minute 1 this day and I could not find the point.
I did my best to explain and also proudly tell some great results during the week,,, but nothing was good or positive in my partners ears.
Something was really wrong. The day turned out to be a bad day including some hard words, blamings and feedback given not in a way i normally do or that we have agreed on to do.
So.. back to the source of our values. Holy moses it is great to have stated our values about how to communicate, how to co-operate and everything else regarding our behavious and attitude.
It was good to point at our values and bring the question-- are we living our values?
The answer was just no.
In the middle of this everything we had the grand opening of our Restaurant Bakfickan this Monday.
Lucky us, we have our great chef Mats that works independently which made us out of this for some hours.
other wise you can just imagine to bring in the bad energy to the restaurant. Damn us for doing that in any way or case. Then we will be totally smoked.
So... end of day... packing the things.... time for goodbye... and a summary of the day.
Honest question from me, how does this feel now to leave each other in a bad mood and sad atmosphere?
Then..... all of a sudden I got the explanation about this fucking stupid day . My partner start crying, telling me she was in a shitty mood, her husband does not feel right and she actually did not want to go to work today. !!
Welll hello!! Why did you not tell me???
Time for a half full glass again thoughts.....?
Her answer..... I cant tell you about this the first thing?
But hello again! I require that you tell me this kind of thing as it almost killed our good relation this sad discussions during the day.
So.. more tears, understanding and a total paradigm shift.
One thing is for sure, if we, you or I want something to be said, just say it. No matter how painful it is. It feels much better to shout it out, no doubt.
To start living your values is far more complicated then to state them.
Dont you agree?
Good night, time for Amsterdam and Hasselt within a few hours. It will be asume.
Love
Anna
