Self-Disclosure: A Vulnerability or a Strength?

A very close friend of mine visited my clinic and we went to a local café to spend some time together and had a heart-to-heart talk. After coming back to the clinic with him, I wanted his help in moving a heavy chair, and in response to that he told me that he had suffered from some kind of neuromuscular problem in his arms and won’t be able to do the moving.

On another occasion, a relative of mine visited my house and he won’t go upstairs to say hello to my mom. When I requested, he told me that he had some visual problems and won’t be steady on the stairs.

What both these friends did was perfectly normal, an avoidance of self-disclosure. It’s only normal not to share one’s health issues with others.

The travel industry is constantly evolving to meet the needs of a diverse guest population. Recognizing a growing demographic with unique needs, Hyatt Hotels Corporation is taking a significant step towards creating a more inclusive travel experience for neurodivergent individuals. This article explores the findings of a recent Hyatt-led survey conducted in collaboration with KultureCity, a leading non-profit focused on sensory accessibility, and NYU's Tisch Center of Hospitality. The survey aimed to understand the challenges faced by neurodivergent travelers and caregivers, paving the way for improved hotel stays from pre-arrival to check-out. Hyatt Opens Doors Understanding Neurodiversity and Its Impact on Travel Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in human neurodevelopment and cognitive function. This encompasses individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other conditions. According to KultureCity, one in four individuals in the US has a sensory need or invisible disability. The survey revealed that over 90% of neurodivergent travelers and their caregivers plan to travel at least once this year, highlighting a significant market segment seeking a more accommodating travel experience. Smoother Sailing: From Booking to Arrival Self-Disclosure: The Key to Personalized Care The survey found that nearly 70% of caregivers and over half of neurodivergent travelers are willing to disclose their neurodiversity during the booking process. This openness allows hotels to provide a more tailored experience. Hyatt, for instance, offers skills training to its staff to enhance the understanding and inclusion of neurodivergent guests. Properties like Hyatt Regency Aqaba Ayla in Jordan, a Certified Autism Center™, demonstrate leadership in this area by equipping staff to cater to guests with sensory sensitivities. The Power of Visuals: Setting Expectations More than half of neurodivergent respondents expressed a desire for enhanced visual aids during the booking process. Hyatt has responded by incorporating 3D virtual tours and detailed floorplans on its website properties like Thompson Central Park New York and Grand Hyatt Vail. These features allow travelers to familiarize themselves with the layout and prepare for their stay, reducing potential anxieties. Creating a Comfortable Space: Room Selection and Flexibility Location Matters: Accommodating Individual Needs While pre-assigned rooms can be convenient, the survey indicates that flexibility is crucial. Over 60% of caregivers believe the option to choose a room location would enhance the check-in experience. Both neurodivergent travelers and caregivers agree on the importance of selecting quieter rooms, such as those at the end of hallways or on higher floors. Hyatt empowers travelers with the ability to choose room types, amenities, and even specific locations on its website and app. Clear Communication: Building Trust and Comfort While email remains the preferred communication method, the survey highlights a desire for personalized contact. Approximately 30% of neurodivergent travelers value phone calls to discuss their upcoming stay. This preference is even stronger among neurodivergent business travelers. Hyatt addresses this need by offering phone, chat, and social media communication options for pre-arrival inquiries. A Personalized Welcome: Setting the Stage for a Positive Experience Digital Check-In/Out: Minimizing Interaction The survey indicates that over half of neurodivergent travelers prefer to limit interactions with front desk staff upon arrival. Hyatt addresses this by offering digital check-in and check-out options through its app, streamlining the arrival process. Promoting Wellbeing: In-Room Amenities and Dedicated Spaces The survey also highlights the importance of in-room amenities that promote relaxation and well-being. Approximately 60% of Millennial and Gen Z neurodivergent travelers and caregivers expressed interest in sleep aids like noise-canceling headphones or white noise machines. Additionally, over half of neurodivergent travelers indicated a desire for access to spaces and resources for self-care practices. Hyatt recognizes the importance of personalized well-being and offers a range of amenities and partnerships, such as access to Headspace content, to cater to diverse guest needs. A Commitment to Continuous Improvement Hyatt acknowledges that creating a truly inclusive travel experience is an ongoing journey. The company is committed to working with its disAbilities Diversity Business Resource Group and collaborating with experts like KultureCity to continuously improve its services and offerings. By prioritizing accessibility, clear communication, and personalized care, Hyatt is paving the way for a more welcoming and enriching travel experience for all guests, including those with neurodivergent needs.

TRUE STORY: Last weekend my sister and I went jet skiing. We had a blast (other than losing a pair of shades) but shortly after this picture was taken a #tidalwave flipped us off of the jet ski into the MIDDLE of the river. This was not my first time falling off a jet ski but getting back on this time was different (Shoulder injury+ age+extremely rough waves)(((( (shout out to my rescue team--yall are the real MVPs)))). The point of my sharing this: Life is going to knock you down. Waves are going to come. You CAN get back up. You CAN chose to have a positive attitude during the various happenings that are most definitely going to transpire. Thinking back to the incident, I wonder if I panicked what would have happened. I am constantly reminded that the only thing I can control in this life, is how I show up and how I react to the happenings that are going to occur. I am grateful for each day and all the learning experiences I am provided. #selfreflection #selfdisclosure #rescue911 #selfdiscovery #truestory #summertime #jetski #jetskilife #delawareriver #lifelessons #lifejacket #sisterhood #riding #lifecoaching #lifelearner #tuesdaymotivation #tuesdaystogether 🌊💜💫🙏🏽🌞😎🌻🦋 (at Crossing The Delaware River) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rWUmHBL3c/?igshid=13uzr0w1fsepw

Olá, Me chamo Gustavo, quero dizer, me chamo Kleilson, Kleilson Gustavo. É que ainda tô me acostumando com a ideia de assumir meu nome. Bem, aqui irei contar minha própria história. A história de como mudei, de como me tornei eu mesmo. Pode parecer superficial, porém não foi tão fácil assim pra mim. Eu tenho certeza que muito de vocês irão se identificar. O processo foi doloroso, mas necessário. AGORA É MINHA VEZ DE TE DIZER COMO TUDO ACONTECEU.

The Free Falling

A lot of things happened in this marvelous year. So many ups and downs, and the more I walk into this journey, sometimes it gets more & more confusing and distracting me from who I a. I’ve always thought that when I know why am I here, the meaning of life, my purpose, my finish line, I would have a wonderful journey of life, and yet in some point of my life, I didn’t forget my personal goal, but it seems clear to me that my path becomes blurry, confusing, and so exhausting. I found myself in this recent time, become less motivated, get easily desperate, and successfully falling and tear apart. I don’t know what’s happenning to me, the same questions that I’ve been asking myself in this entire year. What makes me who I am now? why does this “me” has changed drastically, and the sad part is, I don’t change in a good way. As John Mayer said, “Now I’m free ; free falling.” 

Sometimes, I think unto myself, “Hey man, you’re just get into ‘over thinking’ moment. Have a great holiday with yourself and have a good quality time with this great guy, then somehow, surely you’ll find your way back”. I usually love this option, because I’m a kind of person that loves to do things rather to think about it, because thinking about things you ought to do isn’t going to make the job done. But for this recent time, maybe I’d rather choose to be more thoughtful with myself and never underestimate anxiety as well because the previous option had bring me nowhere to clear up and enlighten my life (And to be honest, it just makes things worse). I love to do things, but I don’t like to see uncertainty situation in my life,  and that’s why maybe I want to become more careful this time, to think about myself. 

I’ve filled up my heart with a lot of things such as books, religion, games, music, and so on and so on, but it seems like either everything has suceededly fill up my emptiness or nothing has going great. When you’re only focussing to fil up the hole inside your soul with one thing and one thing only, I believe sooner or later you’l become disappointed with your choice or you’ll get stuck on your boredom. I’ ve finished reading several books about christian philosophy books (yes, including the bible), managed to play games, listen and play dozens of music and I think, it’s just doesn’t feel right to eliminate most of them and focusing on one. I don’t say that God isn’t as important as others or I have less interest on religious study than others, but what I really found out missing is the strong,friendly, and lovely bond between God and I.

 I really miss that I could pray with HIM for hours, even though I know that there won’t be any instant reply. I really miss the good times where I could sing & worship HIS name until I have sore-throat. I really miss the moment when I could sit down, being quiet & stull in front of him, enjoying the momen of HIS presence and peace. Well, maybe it’s time for you (myself) to take a break & have a wonderful moment with HIM. it seems like you’ll need it and you’ll need HIM.

p.s. : Have I said that I’m a do-er type? Yeah, the bad thing about being a do-er is sometimes you only do things and you don’t know where this will end, or what’s the result of my action. 

But, just like this story, I have no idea what kind of ending I’ll get and yet, it’s fun being on journey to discover nyself. It’s kind of great thing to get the result beyond your own expectations isn’t it? So, thanks a lot, myself!

My Inner Fight

I look around and see everything is all neat & in it’s place I look within and I see that’s not exactly the case. I’m here, then I’m there, I’m up, then I’m down. I could feel on top of the world and the next second come crashing to the ground. I feel too much, sometimes I wish I didn’t. I need a filter for my mind, to block out everything that’s doesnt need to be in it. I’ve got a strong thought process, I know how to push the negativity away There’s just some part of me that whispers no, let it stay. Deal with your demons, don’t lock them away. You know that if you do they’ll just come back another day. This battle has gone on for longer than I can remember. I’ve always had a tough time really pulling it together. You probably wouldn’t expect it though like I said I’m outwardly precise, But if you look deep enough into my eyes you could practically watch my inner fight.

I am the Chesire Cat, and you are Alice. I may seem hard to read, too observant, too secretive, and maybe even manipulative. However, my goal is to guide you through this beautiful yet horrifying place called Wonderland. I assure you that my actions towards you are actions of good will, peace and love.

Maybe your brain can’t process that now and thats ok. However if you feel lost in your life the best thing that you can do for yourself is to listen. Let go of self confidence and independence for a moment and try out self awareness and dependence(been there, done that). It’s a good start for mental health. Let me be your guide. Be patient, be still and be silent. Thats the only way you will ever be able to hear me; your story is not over…

Your story is not over!

Your story is not over!

Your story is not over!

Put the pen down. Let me help you write…

As an act of self-disclosure, workplace creativity can be risky business -- ScienceDaily

As an act of self-disclosure, workplace creativity can be risky business — ScienceDaily

It’s increasingly common for managers to direct employees to “be creative” during office brainstorming sessions. But should employees acquiesce to that managerial edict? According to a new paper from a U. of I. expert in work behaviors and organizations, being creative in the workplace is potentially precarious because creativity itself is deeply personal, which can make the creative act feel…

The 2017

Another year goes by in a glimpse of an eye

Another year full of greatest lessons that mold me and shape me 

Another year full of laughter and tears that brings up the joy & “passion” of my life.

2017 has told me a lot of excellent lessons, in so many ways that I couldn’t possibly imagine. Meeting new people, having a reunion with an old friend, learning new things, having a great time with my job, inspiring others, experiencing God for every single day, or even as simple as watching movies, are only a few ways that I could remember that has really get me digging about myself.

I thought I’ve planned up my life

I thought I’ve prepared myself

I thought I knew who I am

I thought I knew my purposes

But as the calender gets older and older, some mind-blowing moments have inspired me and taught me that only an idiot that thinks that “everything will be as perfect as we could’ve planned it”. There’s always something new that we could’ve learned & experienced, but only the stubborn & the fool that sees them as something that disturbs their comfort zone, inconvenient to their stability, and not taking any lessons at that moments. Well, I also a stubborn & a fool, once. But in the end, I realize that focussing myself unto the problems won’t lead me anywhere. It won’t give me a solution. Only when you see it differently, you could find the solution that you need. That’s the one thing that I won’t forget in a long time. Take the problems personally, and you’ll remember it in every single second, every single moment, and every single time for the rest of your life. Untill you realize that it’s just a waste of time, you’ll be less grateful & happier than you can. Stop focusing on the problem & let the magic begins.
