A twelve-month curriculum that turns working hospitality managers into operators who read a P&L the same way a CFO does.
Built around USALI 12, applied to your own property's numbers, and delivered in monthly modules of 30–60 minutes. Self-guided. Cohort-supported. Designed for resorts, hotels, and clubs.
30–45 minutes of editorial-quality content. No fluff, no padding, no AI slop. Designed to be read on a Sunday morning.
Every module ends with a 4-step exercise that uses your own P&L, your own KPIs, your own budget. The learning is the application.
One live call per month. Three questions to prepare. Eleven other operators looking at their own numbers alongside you.
Each module ends with a detachable one-page reference: formulas, watch-fors, questions to ask in your next P&L review.
The full curriculum is live. The sequence is deliberate: foundations first, so the vocabulary is fluent. Then the P&L from top to bottom. Then the levers — revenue, labor, procurement — that managers actually pull. Budgeting and forecasting in mid-year, when the annual planning cycle hits. Variance, capital, and asset management to close. The capstone in month twelve asks you to put all eleven of the others together on your own property's numbers.
The managers who get heard in performance conversations are the ones who can interpret the numbers clearly.— The principle behind this program
