Thursday’s Post

Today we kicked off our second event of the year with around 100 guests from Canada arriving in Munich. 💪🥳💥 At 7:30 am today (Sunday), I found out one of our bundled flights is running late. Immediately I did two things: 1. I contacted my vendor to check availability and place a driver on standby. And 2. Informed my client and ask for his ok on additional services (and costs). Btw, driver and vehicle needed to be at the airport for a 09:30am arrival!! 😬 Oh, and did I mention the Handball Eurocup is in town, so services are scarce? I spent a good hour and a half sorting out the availability, getting the client's nod, coordinating with our on-site crew at the airport, and sealing the deal. Having the owner of the transportation company on speed dial made it happen! This is why teaming up with an experienced local partner like us makes a difference! – we're not just moving our guests from A to B; we're problem-solving warriors, even before you realize there's a problem, especially when time is ticking. Sure, you might think skipping the local agency markup saves you some 💰💰, but trust me, it's not just about the money. Could you have handled that Sunday morning transfer challenge as smoothly as me? Maybe, but is the hassle really worth it? That is why we say we are not (just) a DMC! Find out more about this in our last blog...link in the comments! Next time our markup makes you raise an eyebrow, picture me on a Sunday morning hustling that last-minute transfer instead of enjoying my breakfast 🥐🥓☕️ – puts things in perspective, right? 😉 #weichlein #simplymunich

What's the worst day for road traffic jams ? 🤔 According to studies, Thursdays would be the worst followed by Tuesdays in second position. As for daily peak, 5 PM is the worst timing. Would you confirm experiencing same worst periods ? 😛 Big question about glass bottles : should we re-use them or recycle them ? 🤔 Collecting bottles, cleaning & refilling or collecting, melting and reshaping into new bottles ?

Check out our latest blog, where we look at why there's nothing better than being at a live sporting event!

Fined for a kiss?! Julien Bernard stopped for a special moment during the Stage 7 time trial of Tour de France 2024 and gave his wife a quick kiss. He was later fined 200CHF ($223 USD) for "unseemly or inappropriate behavior during the race and damage to the image of the sport" by UCI, the professional cycling governing body. Usually, fines are imposed for being pulled by cars, receiving food or throwing bottles outside designated areas, or not wearing a helmet. Balancing rules with empathy, maintaining consistency in enforcement, and recognizing the human element in professional settings are crucial for building a positive and productive workplace culture. Proportional penalties and transparent communication are key to building trust and respect within any organization. #Leadership #Empathy https://lnkd.in/d3Zm58k8
