WHAT’S ON
YOUR DESK?
If a man’s home is his castle, then what’s his work space? For
some of us, it’s organized chaos—piles of paperwork, tons of
sample products, corkboards painted with colored Post-its, the
list goes on. And then there are those whose cubicles are serene
sanctuaries, devoid of clutter, except perhaps for an indispensable Mac, favorite spa book and a calming candle.

Container of fresh mango slices that one of my staff brought in for me from a
tree in her garden.
Backpack, left at spa by guest. Donation towards the resort’s Community
Outreach Program whose mission is to better the lives of school children in the
area around the resort.
Jar filled with chocolates. A great way to get staff to visit you regularly to talk
about what is going on in their lives and at the spa!
Large bottle of vitamin C. Lets staff take it so they stay healthy (and avoid sick
days).
Pictures of all of the babies of my staff since I have been in Costa Rica.
Floor plans for all of the Four Seasons spas that I am working with around the
world.
