Our consultants would be happy to advise you on how best to tailor the narrative to your specific target audience.
The speaker who is about to stand on this stage says of himself: He used to be a bad role model. Because that’s how he learnt it. Back then, when service was more hard than cordial, and when leadership still meant control, not customer-orientation. I don’t think he’s the only one who felt that way, is he? Today we know better. In his own words: Service makes the difference!
Carsten K. Rath has made it from terrace waiter to international service brand. He has opened and managed some of the most famous hotels in the world, including the Hotel Adlon in Berlin and the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Florida. Today, according to n-tv, he is the “No. 1 service expert in Germany”. The entrepreneur is much in demand as a speaker on the big stages. As a management consultant, he provides companies of all sizes with inspiration for customer enthusiasm. He also passionately imparts his knowledge as a university lecturer at various universities. He writes columns on service quality for Handelsblatt, Focus online, Madame and other leading media. Handelsblatt calls him “THE international service excellence authority”.
Carsten K. Rath has been honoured as ‘Hotel Manager of the Year’ and ‘Host of the Year’, among other awards, for making his mark on service. He has also received the “Innovation Award of the German Tourism Industry”. High jump legend Carlo Thränhardt says of him: “If service excellence were a competitive sport, Carsten would have already broken the world record a few times.” A sentence that fits well with our speaker, because his motto is:
