All right. So today we're diving into le Luxure. And wow, you really went all out
with the source material this time. Yeah. It looks like someone's serious about
getting a deep understanding of this whole luxury hospitality training thing.
Definitely. And with their blog program details, even study guides, it seems like
our listener wants to go way beyond just like the surface level stuff, you know?
Absolutely. They want to not just what le Luxure teaches, but like the whole
philosophy behind it, you know, their whole approach. Approach. Exactly. And
speaking of approach, I mean, can we just talk about Mallorca for a second? Ah, yes.
Mallorca. Beautiful. It's like their home base, right? Where they're rooted. So I'm
already picturing, you know, stunning Villa Sunshine, that Mediterranean vibe.
It's definitely more than just a pretty location, though, right? Oh, yeah, for
sure. It feels like Mallorca is actually a core part of their identity. Like it
really informs their whole approach to luxury hospitality. And that's something
that really comes across in their training materials, right? Yeah, absolutely. I
mean, it's everything. Especially that blog post they have. Does your team need
training? Of course they do. I mean, talk about a catchy title. Oh, yeah, it
definitely grabs your attention. It's bold. But it also kind of makes you think,
like, wait, are they right? Is training really that crucial? It seems like they're
making a pretty strong case for it. They're saying that in the world of luxury
hospitality, you know, training isn't just nice to have. It's essential. Like if you
want to survive and thrive, you got to keep going. You got to keep your team
sharp. So what are their big arguments for continuous training? Well, they have three
main points that they keep coming back to. Okay, hit me with number one. Okay, so
first up, they talk about how guest expectations are constantly evolving.
Which makes sense, right? I mean, especially in the luxury space, people are
traveling more. They're more discerning than ever. Exactly. They've seen it all.
They've done it all. So they're looking for something really special, something
personalized, seamless, that goes beyond, you know, the typical white glove service.
It's not just about being tampered anymore, right? Nope. They want
experiences that are tailored to them specifically. Anticipating their needs,
creating those little wow moments. Okay, so point number two. So their second point
is that even the most experienced professionals can benefit from, you know,
brushing up on their skills. They use the analogy of a chef honing their knife
skills, right? Always refining, always striving for that perfect edge. Exactly.
Yeah. It's about that constant pursuit of mastery, never getting complacent. So it's
not just about, like, keeping up. With trends. No, it's deeper than that. It's
like a philosophy of continuous improvement, like that Japanese concept of
kaizen, you know? Interesting. Yeah. And their third argument for training. Okay,
so their final point is all about empowerment. They say that when you invest
in your team's development, when you prioritize training, you actually end up
boosting their confidence and motivation. Which naturally leads to better service,
right? Exactly. It's a win-win. Mm-hmm. They're not just talking about, like,
superficial confidence, though. Oh, really? Yeah. It's more about giving them
a deeper understanding of what they're doing. It's more about giving them a
deeper understanding of the industry, like a true expertise that allows them to
handle any situation with grace and skill. That makes sense. I mean, in a luxury
setting, you can't just have people who are, you know, going through the motions.
They need to be able to think on their feet, anticipate needs, and really go
above and beyond. Exactly. It's that kind of confidence that really shines through
in a luxury environment. Okay, so we've talked about why they believe training is
so important, but let's get into the specifics now. What kind of programs are
they actually offering? So they have a pretty diverse range of programs,
actually. Everything from executive leadership training to bespoke customer
service excellence, even F&B masterclasses. Wow. They really cover it
all, huh? And they even have programs on cultural sensitivity and multilingual
service, which I think is so important these days. Oh, absolutely. Especially in
the luxury world, you're dealing with a global clientele, so being able to connect
with people from different cultures is crucial. And what I find really
interesting is the language they use to describe. When they describe these
programs, it's not just about, like, learning skills. Right. It's way more
evocative than that. Like, they talk about transforming managers into visionaries and
teaching the art of personalization. They're not just ticking boxes. They're
aiming for something much deeper, like a real transformation. And that brings us to
something I've noticed throughout their materials, this idea of a mindset of
excellence. It's subtle, but it seems to be at the core of their whole approach.
Yeah. It's like the thread that ties everything together. They're not just
teaching techniques. They're cultivating a way of thinking, a mindset that permeates
every aspect of service. I'm really curious to dig deeper into that. Yeah, me
too. It seems like the key to understanding their whole philosophy. It
really is. And it's interesting how this whole mindset of excellence seems to be so
deeply connected to their roots in Mallorca. Oh, totally. It's like they're
constantly referencing the island's unique culture and nature and gastronomy. Yeah.
It's almost as if they're saying, to truly understand luxury, you've got to
understand the world. You've got to understand Mallorca. Right? It's
brilliant. They're not just teaching abstract principles. They're grounding
them in a real-world context, a place that's known for its luxurious offerings.
Yeah. It's like immersive education at its finest. Imagine learning about bespoke
service while you're surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the
Mediterranean. Talk about inspiration, right? Yeah. It makes you wonder if part
of their secret sauce is that they're not just training professionals, but they're
kind of creating ambassadors. Yeah. They're not just training ambassadors for
this New Yorkian way of life, like this inherent understanding of quality and
beauty and genuine hospitality. It's like they're saying, this is how we do it in
Mallorca. This is the gold standard. And it's not just about the surface-level
stuff. It's about understanding those deeper cultural nuances that really
underpin true luxury. Yeah. It's about capturing the soul of a place and
translating that into those exceptional guest experiences. Exactly. And speaking
of exceptional experiences, let's circle back to those training programs for a
second. Okay. Let's do it. But we've got executive leadership training, bespoke
customer service excellence, F &B masterclasses. I mean, the list goes on.
And they're not just teaching basic skills. They're using language that
suggests a real transformation. Right. Like they talk about turning managers into
visionaries. Exactly. It's about more than just managing. It's about inspiring your
team to reach new heights, setting the bar for excellence. And then there's their
bespoke customer service excellence program. What makes this different from
your typical customer service program? It's about going beyond those scripted
responses and generic pleasantries. Yeah. It's about truly understanding each
guest's unique needs and desires and crafting experiences that are tailored
just for them. It's like taking personalization to the next level.
Exactly. It's about anticipating those unspoken needs and exceeding expectations
in a way that feels effortless and completely personalized. Okay. And what
about their F &B masterclasses? They're not just teaching people how to cook. Oh,
definitely not. They're talking about transformation. They're talking about
transforming dining into an experience. It's about elevating those culinary skills
to an art form. Think about it. You can have a technically perfect meal, but what
really makes it memorable is the ambiance, the storytelling, the way those flavors
and textures come together. It's like creating a symphony of the senses.
Exactly. And that's what le Luxure seems to be teaching their students how to do,
turning a meal into a performance. Okay. And last but not least, we have their
programs on cultural sensitivity and multilingual service. Oh, yeah. Those are
essential. In today's world, especially in the luxury sphere, you're dealing with
people from all over the globe. So being able to connect with them on a cultural
level is crucial. It's about making everyone feel welcome and understood
regardless of their background. Right. It's about bridging those cultural divides
with grace and sensitivity. So we've got these comprehensive training programs all
grounded in this mindset of excellence and rooted in the rich culture of Mallorca.
It's pretty impressive. But what does this all mean for our listener? Why should they
care? Well, for starters, it gives them a glimpse into the inner workings of a
company that's at the forefront of luxury hospitality training. You know,
understanding their philosophy and approach can be incredibly valuable, even
if you're not directly involved in the industry. It's like getting a master class
in what constitutes true luxury and exceptional service. Exactly. And the cool
thing is that a lot of le Luxure's principles, their emphasis on continuous
learning, adapting to evolving expectations, cultivating that mindset of
excellence. Those are all things that can be applied to a company. So even if you're

excellence in everything you do. And that brings us to a question for you to ponder.
