Society For Hospitality and Foodservice Management (SHFM)

Happy holidays!

None of us win alone. Each of us, through various stages of our career journey, need the support of mentors who are willing to invest their time, insights and encouragement as we navigate the winding roads of our development. The SHFM Foundation recognizes the importance of mentorship and believes that pairing the next generation of hospitality leaders with guides to support them, is the most important element to sustained career growth. Your donations to the SHFM Foundation Fellowship Program support this mission of pairing college level hospitality students with a dream to join our industry with mentors who offer support and guidance along the way. We thank you, for your investment in today's hospitality students; and tomorrow's leaders.

At the WISE 2025 Master Class: The more mentally fit you are, the more you’ll be able to handle the stress, anxiety and frustrations that come from work and personal life challenges. This includes relationships and how you engage with others like your colleagues, partner, children. Your level of Mental Fitness is the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential. The bad news is that 80% of people score below the minimum level of mental fitness required for peak performance and happiness. The good news is that, just like physical fitness, you can boost your Mental Fitness significantly with practice.
