Reply To: IHG Diamond – how much longer…?

[Colin MacKinnon]

@JDB – How did you know that I was an Intergalactic Cosmic Ambassador?

That’s exactly what I tell my pals when they ask about our great deals…. and I don’t mention us taking your advice of being human!

It astounds me how happy so many staff are when you stop and say thanks to them. We literally had a young doctor in tears on holiday last month when I said I made a special point of stopping and thanking cleaning staff in hospitals, because without cleaners there would be horrendous amounts of infections. She was a bit burnt out, partly because she didn’t like being the “hero” when it was team effort.

That’s an extreme example, perhaps.

It’s not about tips, and money. It is about human connections, understanding and communication.

Since 25th January is fast approaching, the last lines of Rabbie Burns’s poem A Man’s a Man for a’That:

That Man to Man the warld o’er
Shall brithers be for a’ that.
