Being your Best

On your shift

Showing up as your best during your shift

Remember, it is okay to feel uncertain, sad, anxious, stressed, uneasy, pressure or
any other feeling you may be having as a result of this pandemic. It is how we

deal with those fears and emotions which determines how we engage with each
other and our Guests. Using the techniques throughout this guide will help you
prepare yourself for a successful shift. Being aware of your mental well-being,

taking care of yourself physically, eating right and understanding your emotions
will give you a great head start. You can also use the suggestions below to set

yourself up to be your best before, during and after your Snooze shift!
