Background Director of Six Sigma and
Learning and Development for Starwood Hotels and Resorts in Waikiki, Oahu. (5 Years)
There are 11 Hawaii properties in the Hawaii region, on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Hawaii. I am a resource to all of them.
Starwood places a high priority on associate and leadership development worldwide.

Context The Hospitality Industry operates
365/24/7. People are constantly BUSY!
There is never a time for the operation to fully stop and re-train.
The industry’s highest expense is labor. All employees must be paid for training.
Training must be done in short one or two hour bursts maximum (ILT)

The Problem and Need Instructor Led Training

Excel is intimidating and difficult
No specific resources available
Employee frustration and confusion growing
Inconsistent throughout the Hawaii Region
