Furthermore, he is not talking about events that much but about his sickness and what happened to him. When he heard that he is sick, on the one hand he just wanted to lay on the couch and doing nothing anymore, and on the other hand he wanted to keep on moving as usual. He is comparing these feelngs with a carriage, lead by two horses and each horse wants to go in another direction. In the end he says something about the world and looking from the perspective above.

Rob van Vlokhoven

 

 

Rob van Vlokhoven will talk about Hostmanship during the World Forum Next Generation event.

Rob is currently working for "Hostmanship Group Netherlands" and "Lady in Red".
After getting his masters in Imagineering, he has developed an appreciating mind-set that continuously challenges the status quo in order to improve the quality of interaction between service providers and its consumers.

For the Hostmanship Group Netherlands, Rob has found a interesting way to look at hostmanship, he thinks that Hostmanship is a way of approaching people. It expresses a wish to serve others by a serving leadership and an insight that all activities strive to serve others. And in that process we develop both our pride and profit.

For the World Forum, Rob will talk about "the art of making people feel welcome".
