<p><strong><em>It's time to check in.</em></strong></p><p>When's the last time you checked in? <em>No</em>, not at a hotel. When's the last time you checked in with your own goals, plans, and aspirations for the future?</p><p><br></p><p>In <em>Checking In,</em> Stephen J. Cloobeck-entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist, and the founder and former CEO and chairman of Diamond Resorts International-invites you to check in with <em>yourself</em> to take stock of where you are, where you want to go, and, most importantly, how to actually get there.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Drawing from the hotel, accommodation, and travel worlds in which he built his success, Cloobeck shares one-of-a-kind business experiences and life lessons, demonstrating how a radical customer service mindset-what he calls the Meaning of Yes-can substantively change both personal and professional outcomes.</p><p><br></p><p>Make no mistake-this is straight-talk from one of the best. Cloobeck may be known for being tough, opinionated, and unabashedly competitive, but he's also developed a philosophy of hospitality-driven thinking relevant to anyone looking to find success on their terms. Part strategy directive, part leadership coaching, part memoir, <em>Checking In</em> will change how you approach people, problems, and possibilities.</p><p><br></p><p>Written for everyone who wants more out of life, <em>Checking In</em> calls you to view the world through the lens of hospitality-driven thinking, to make the most out of opportunities others miss, to take well-placed bets on yourself, and to say "yes" to the right risks at the right time. These are the practical business insights and all-too-real anecdotes you didn't know you needed from a source you'd never expect.</p>
