“Bumping the light” — meaning to raise the performance level. Louie Gravance used the term when speaking to meeting planners at the recent VISIT FLORIDA Encounter at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. Gravance, a Walt Disney graduate who now teaches “Showmanship in the Workplace” to large corporations, urged planners to “bump the light” and, as an example, pointed to the artful luncheon centerpieces — fish bowls on silver trays, surrounded by white sand, shells and starfish — that symbolized the area’s beautiful beaches.
