Another short clip in the training series 'The Journey', follow Oliver James to keep a look out for what's to come next! Just one of the many reasons I joined Oliver James (almost 8 years ago now!), was the aspirational leadership. During my first conversation with the recruitment team I couldn't quite believe what these Managers/Regional Directors had achieved in terms of career trajectory, network and of course, performance (revenue generated). Those case studies given to me as examples of fast-track progression and billing figures were not something I had thought was honestly possible, during my first 12 months in the industry. I went with my gut and interviewed, something I was almost skeptical about became a reality when I saw it all for myself, and I'll never forget those first interviews Rick Davis, Charlotte Rigby Alyson Andrews. Instead of being intimidated I relished that I would be surrounded by the top percentile of performers, not just within Oliver James, but the industry as a whole. Who better to learn from? If you want to enhance your career prospects or earnings in recruitment, or even if you're just starting out in the industry, I'd love to chat with you about how Oliver James will set you up for success. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me. #AspirationalLeadership #Recruitment #CareerProspects #OliverJames #TheJourney

I created a poll earlier today, go find it in my posts and respond to it Over the last couple of years I have had people ask me before what resources are out there to learn more about buying and operating RV Campgrounds. Truth is, there isn't much available Beyonder Holdings is working toward becoming THE resource for that information We are making steps toward creating a platform to ask questions and network with other operators, take classes and provide training and resources for managers, etc. This is why I created the poll. I can really use your help and support to determine if there is enough interest to create a mastermind specifically for Outdoor Hospitality (RV Campgrounds, Glamping, Marinas, etc) Please comment below (and respond to the poll) on what you would want to learn from such a mastermind. Tag anyone you know of who is in the RV/glamping/marina niche who may be interested in joining or even possibly contributing. We want full time RVers in there as well to provide insight into improvements that can be made by operators. #rvlife #mastermind #operations

At Castlegate Education a lot of what we do is work which is confidential. It’s either due diligence or business development, and that takes time. I’m about to take my twelfth flight of the year to a “secret location”. At this point, we don’t know whether the result will be a successful establishment of a UK brand abroad or not. It depends on the people we meet, local market conditions, and the strength of the opportunity. Even great opportunities sometimes don’t come to fruition just because the parties’ values, expectations, or timescales aren’t aligned. We shake hands and walk away. But without the travel, looking people in the eye, resources deployed, and time building relationships, there can never be success. Here’s hoping that this flight brings that return on investment- a successful project. But also, think on this - if the trip makes us reassess, redefine, delay or even discontinue because we did the proper due diligence ….it has still been a successful mission.

Have you got a professional development plan in place? As we come to the end of the second week of the new year, let's embrace the power of personal growth and professional development. The New Year is a perfect time to reflect on our goals, refine our skills, and set a clear path for success. Remember, "New Year, New You" is not just a catchy phrase – it's an opportunity to invest in yourself! Don't leave your career to chance; create a robust Professional Development Plan to guide your journey. My advice is to make some time to take charge of your career by setting achievable milestones, acquiring new skills, and staying adaptable in today's dynamic workplace. #NewYearNewYou #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerGrowth #SuccessIn2024 #PlanForSuccess

If you want a task done quickly, ask a busy person to do it. An hour provides 12 x 5 minute opportunities to complete tasks on your to do list. I learned this ten years ago when starting out in property and have employed it in my planning ever since. #busy #getthingsdone #managestress #maximisopportunity #toptip

I can highly recommend Nicola Olds for professional coaching so you can get to where you want to be! #coaching #relationshipmanagement #advocacy #communication #problemsolving #personalintegrity

Meet the magic, Exec Edition 🍀 Suns out, brunch out with our very own Group Ops Director, Benjamin Litchfield. Ben shares his thoughts on what motivates him to lead a successful team at Bill's Restaurants! Q. What was your first job?        A. Motor Vehicle technician (mechanic) at Donnington race track in the Midlands. That's my first proper job anyway. I did some washing up/ delivering newspapers etc part time before that.    Q. What made you join Bill's?   A. A role became available in Exeter, which was a place I’d always fancied living. After the first interview, I could tell this was the right business for me. Over 10 years ago now…. Q. How do you motivate yourself every day?  A. Having the opportunity to positively impact the course of the business/ the 2000+ people that work within it is more than enough motivation to keep me on my toes…(it’s a bit scary if I’m honest).   Q. What makes you happy at work?  A. In my role, most things take time to come to fruition. So seeing positive cultural change, typically over a period of time, is something that always makes me smile.    Q. What advice would you give someone looking to start or grow their career?  A. Don’t be fooled by what you see on social. It’s never as easy as most suggest. Put in the hard work & remember, any role in leadership is a servant role. We’re here for our team & guests & NEVER the other way around.

Guest Experience score may not show up on your p&l report… but this number has ALWAYS been our most important KPI at South Block WHY? Because the guest experience score can be telling of what pivots or changes you may need to stay on top of… BEFORE they become problems and result in lower p&l performance. HOW? Put people over profits. Take care of your TEAM so they they will WANT to take care of your guests. Put your people first and watch your profits soar! 🚀 #buildingblocks

 There are both passion and perseverance in the pursuit of a long-term objective. This is a MARATHON, not a SPRINT. It is an excellent opportunity for me to share insights on how to establish a growth mentality with all employees of the RS Awal Bros Group Hospital, with the primary goal of nurturing corporate culture and strengthening certain characters. Begin by changing the way you think and installing the "software first". #People Development #Organization Development #Corporate Culture #Service Excellence #My Activity
