AGM | Sundowner – Rhys Challenger A Day in the Life of a Hotel Manager
A day in the life of a Hotel Manager …What could possibly go wrong?
A Hotel Manager has seen it all. From dealing with double bookings, rowdy hotel guests at 2am, room upgrade requests, leaky carparks and requests for late check-outs. Hmmm… always something to sort out.
It takes a multi-skilled person to handle these situations. A Hotel Manager needs to be:-
- A great leader with good communication skills
- Good at delegating to their team
- Analytical skills
- High emotional intelligence
- Commitment
… and so much more. It can be fast-paced, stressful and exhilarating all rolled together.
To hear about the average day in the life of a Hotel Manager, you’re invited to come along to our AGM / Sundowner / Networking event on 12th October 2023.
And you can ask Rhys anything.
The AGM will be at 5:30pm and only deals with essential business and is brief, so you’ll have time to network and listen to Rhys’ stories.
You’ll also have the chance to mingle and network with other members and guests after the AGM.
Members and guests all welcome.
