Syllabus · How Teams Communicate

Every shift hears the same thing.

A hands-on class that gives your team an agreed-upon language of success, so standards, handoffs and problems travel cleanly from one shift and one department to the next.

What we cover

Sample outline. The full syllabus is in development, and every class is tailored to your team before we start.

1

The language of success

Agree on what "good" sounds like on your property.

  • Define your standards in plain words every role can repeat
  • Build a short shared vocabulary for guest moments, service recovery and urgency
  • Spot where mixed messages are costing time, tips and reviews
2

The pre-shift that works

Turn the line-up into the most useful ten minutes of the shift.

  • A repeatable pre-shift format: what happened, what's coming, what matters today
  • Who speaks, for how long, and what gets written down
  • Practice runs with your own BEOs, forecasts and VIP lists
3

Handoffs between shifts and departments

Stop losing information at the door.

  • Shift-change and department handoff checklists
  • Front desk to housekeeping, kitchen to floor, sales to banquets
  • Role-play: the handoff that went wrong, and the one that didn't
4

Raising a problem early

Make it normal to speak up before the guest notices.

  • Simple escalation steps everyone knows
  • How managers receive bad news so it keeps coming
  • Closing the loop: who follows up, and how the team hears the outcome

Your team leaves with
