  • Be Inspired

    There is plenty of inspiration to be found

     

    Check out the podcast: 'Inspiring Women in Hospitality'

    Where I share stories from women all across the industry, all around the world at various stages of their careers. I believe that each and everyone has the capacity to be inspiring, we just have to believe it. The podcast gives a platform for our stories to be heard and build a bank of role models for the industry.

     

    Check out the YouTube Channel: 'In conversation with...'

    In this series I invite men from the industry and people from outside of the industry into the conversation. We want to learn from one another. Together we can work towards achieving gender balance.
