Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Without question … Woodcliff Hotel’s the brainiest hotspot in town. How so?

Part of NewCastle Hotels and Resorts ... Woodcliff carries unique brain benefits to clients from several intriguing angles.  Below are a few I’ve experienced firsthand.

Business leaders everywhere could learn from Woodcliff’s:

1. Warm welcomes – It takes interpersonal intelligence and more than a few smart skills to draw others into welcoming circles. Yesterday I returned to frigid Rochester from Florida and today I dined at Horizons in Woodcliff atop wooded hills in Fairport – trying to coax my brain back into New York’s icy grips. Barely into the restaurant I caught Jessica Lighthouse welcoming each guest and group as if they were family. This hotel enriches clients interpersonally and waitresses Jaimie or Kate will tell you they feel just as valued by leaders at this first class center, that guests feel in their fine care.

2. Professional encounters – No question – I’m biased about the brain based and relaxing atmosphere at Woodcliff’s Lounge. This hotel's much respected and brainy bartender … Andy Milliman ... happens to also be a highly valued neighbor and good friend. Andy adds more seasoned expertise to a glass of wine and good discussion on any topic … than grapes add to award winning wines. Toss in a healthy sense of humor and you have a picture of Woodcliff’s relaxing atmosphere under Andy’s watch. Any brain expert would agree … Andy hands out sips of serotonin … a brain chemical for well-being … that compete with even the greatest vintage wines.

3. Brain fitness – My first visit to Woodcliff’s amazing Spa came recently … when my daughter and son-in-law gave me the gift of a day at the hotel’s spa and fitness club. If I’ve been blogging a bit more lately about how fitness rebuilds brain cells … it’s likely because Woodcliff does it best. Their back massage comes with unique class along with in-house professionals and state of the art fitness equipment. What a gift from my kids!  

4. Golf to remember – Ok – I’ve landed a few shots to Woodcliff greens I’d like to forget. Still, their regulation 9-Hole course remains a favorite. No wonder Woodcliff was the official residence for the American and European Ryder Cup Teams during competition at the Oak Hill Country Club. Any view from its grassy hills … fine fairways and challenging greens tell why Woodcliff golf wins in an instant. Combine spectacular scenes from nature’s best … and excellent putting greens to top up any golfer’s kinesthetic intelligence and naturalistic intelligence.

The Woodcliff Hotel and Spa is only 5 minutes away from the MITA International Brain Based Center and I’m glad it’s so close by. This hotel also takes excellent care of MITA’s professional European and international guests while they obtain brain based certification at our center. Perhaps that’s why I'm especially glad to find a brainy hotel so close by. Go Woodcliff!

Remind me take you there for lunch …  if you ever travel through.
