Richard Sagala on Butler skills, Firsts, training and experience

-The XXIst c. Butler and the Art of Service, a Swiss knife approach?-

To excel in the Art of Service, the XXIst c. Butler must nowadays acquire a 360 degree skill set that includes: managing people, budgets, and take part in coordinating the maintenance of real estate, aircrafts, boats and cars, special equipment et al. The skill set must includes chauffeur and valeting services as well as mastering Protocol, Business & Social Etiquette and everything related to the preparation and execution of functions, dinners, meals, etc. including light cooking and cellar management techniques. Mastering more than one language is a definite plus and the XXIst c. Butler definitely must possess a ready pen and a capacity to network and act as an ambassador (and negotiate) on behalf of his employer in order to keep his reputation and the reputation of his family at the zenith under all circumstances. The XXIst c. Butler must grant to his employer a maximum of time for his chosen priorities and endeavours while allowing him (or her) to enjoy a peaceful mindset knowing that everything is optimal and under control.

Our idea idea was simple,

Before launching our academy we took the perspective of a potential student, asking ourselves the following: if we would be starting a career now aiming at becoming an expert in superior service delivery, would it (as a student) be wise joining the IMBA and, would we get excellent training there? The answer had to be: « Yes ». So we built from there.

always thinking like Rolls-Royce, there is no better role model and,

Inspired by Henry Royce, our mantra is: « Take the best that exists and make it better. If it doesn’t exist, design it ». At the IMBA it took us more than fifteen years honing our craft and understanding the modern needs of the profession before we gave ourselves the green light to start. By being relentless at striving for the best for all these years, we are proud of having put together this compelling program with a wine expertise at its core.

talking the walk and walking the talk.
