Once again, inspiration has come to be from Scott, the Nametag Guy. He writes daily blog posts that cover most anything inspirational, creative, or motivational. Today's post: "How to Care." Perhaps Scott didn't choose the most impressive title--it certainly doesn't hold a candle to "6 Ways to be More Referable than a Edward Scissorhands at Lawn & Garden Convention"--but nevertheless, his great ideas came through.
Firstly, it made me think about how Montreat cares. Idea #1 is "Bother to do things." Montreat Conference Center makes a conscious choice about how to work with our guests. We "bother" to make our booking process easy. We have "bothered" to add online registration to make it even easier than it was before. Included in every group reservation at Montreat is a knowledgeable staff person who cares about setting up your event just the way you want it. We "bother" to ask the important questions that will result in the right experience.
We do this because we care, because we are called to share this amazing place with all God's people. And of course, it's not really a bother at all because we have the opportunity to learn as much from our guests as they do from us.
The other part of Scott's "How to Care" post that I loved is #4, "Learn from the best." He refers to a list of caring standards adapted by the organization, Companies that Care. This list made me think about the people who come to Montreat, and how much they care. They care about their congregations, youth groups, employees, team members, ministries, industries, and missions enough to plan an event about it. They also care enough to choose Montreat, where they know they will learn something important enough to take home.
How do you show you care? How can we show you that Montreat cares?
