    Great book to review for senior living teams!

    Do you study how to improve your talent in senior living?

  • Are you improving your mind on a regular basis?
  • What books are you reading to improve your attitude?
  • Do you have time to take a lunch?
  • Are you scheduling rejuvenation time?

Or is it easier to say, “I am too busy!” And you work through lunch again?

Burnt out employees in senior living can become cranky and irritable. It can affect the quality of service to senior residents.  The grouchiness can wash into home life too.

Do yourself a favor and invest in yourself and your team.

Start a new book review with your senior living sales or operations team. Read one chapter a week or two chapters a month. Select a book and have each person apply the principles in each chapter to his or her senior living position.

One of my teams is reading, “Senior Housing Marketing – How to Increase Your Occupancy and Stay Full.” Its focus is written for retirement communities, but the principles can easily be converted to assisted living, skilled nursing or memory care communities. Feedback from teams on a nationwide basis has insisted this book has helped their occupancy grow.

My sales teams are currently reading, “How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success in Selling,” and, “The Greatest Salesman in the World.” “The Greatest Salesman in the World,” book has you read a scroll three times a day for one month before you move onto the subsequent scroll with the next principle. This is the third time in my life reading this book daily for 10 months. Each time it changed my life in a positive significant way.

Start growing yourself and your team! Watch your attitude soar! The occupancy will follow in an upward direction. It is guaranteed!
