I get excited when my friends win awards.
So I went along last night, to the Shine Awards that are given to women for their achievements in “Talent Management in Travel Tourism and Hospitality”.
My friend and colleague Gina McAdam won the award for outstanding mentor. She was up against tough competition and she got it!
Gina has been mentoring Alex Kopitsis, Regional Training Manager with the Hilton Group.
I am very fortunate to be working with Gina (holding the award in the photo, next to Diane Morris). She has the ability to convince you and win you over in the most gentle way.
And I loved the keynote speaker last night: Liz Jackson MBE of Great Guns Marketing.
What an inspiring woman! Liz went blind the very same week she set up her business offering telemarketing to blue chips. She now runs 7 offices around the UK with a staff of over 100.
Her motto is: If you say that you can or you can’t, you are always right!
