Inspire Roundtable in Bangkok took place on the 26th of January at Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless
Road. With 11 incredible women who took the time to share their stories, experiences and careers in hospitality with one another. My favourite comment from the event is that they were loving the energy in the room.
Being the fourth roundtable I have organised there are some themes that are similar in all
locations: maternity, support for women, drinking culture, stronger networks, unsociable hours, having to prove ourselves , be confident of your value, finding your own style.
I am so grateful forall the women who attended and shared their stories with us all. A truly
enriching experience
Thank you to Quentin and Jennifer for hosting us. Its important to have both male and female allies
supporting female led initiatives.
Testimonials
"It's great to meet a group of women who wants to make real changes. Great leaders require
more than just gender. Gender shouldn't matter, but apparently it still does." - Chutima Fuangkham Kennedy
"I love to meet not only on the same industry but different industry to understand people in general. For my field as a designer we have to understand and learn to manage different clientele, genders, social backgrounds and to win confidence with the client we have to 1st understand their background and with these small initiate group we already learned more. So thank you for organizing." - Anita

"A great event.It was lovely to come together, share experiences and discuss ways to improve work. It was great to meet other like minded women and have real discussions of not only the challenges women face but ways to overcome this." - Sarah Ball
"The Inspire roundtable was a formidable opportunity to share, laugh and build relationships in a rare space of all female, inspiring, hospitality leaders. The small group, roundtable setting, created a unique atmosphere where everyone could speak with each other and get to know one another. An inclusive event, where even my fellow introverts will find their place, as opposed to the usual networking event, with hundreds of people, where I easily fall guilty of gravitating towards the people I already know. Naureen was a thoughtful facilitator, ensuring everyone had their time to shin and had a brilliant moment!" - Celine
"An intimate and inspiring session that left me very warmth hearted" - Pyn
