1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I oversee teams of people responsible for hotel reservations, table bookings and feedback for our pubs and bars. This involves overseeing the day-to-day running of the departments, providing training and support for the teams, including the appraisal process and implementing new processes and procedures in line with the company vision and strategy

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I've learnt so much already from my programme, and I'm just over two thirds of the way through. I've grown in confidence and developed a better working relationship with my team. Understanding how different leadership styles and skills suit different situations and individuals has really helped me become a more confident leader
