In my interview with Barry Robinson from Travel + Leisure Co. International, he reflected on the invaluable advice he received from various sources throughout his career, highlighting the importance of being a good listener and learning from different experiences. He emphasised that his grandfather’s timeless wisdom—"treat others how you'd like to be treated"—has significantly influenced his approach to life and leadership. Barry believes that by consistently considering others' perspectives, one can foster strong relationships and build a supportive team, even though it’s not always easy to get it right. This principle, he notes, is not just crucial in the hospitality industry but is a guiding philosophy for life.

In this short clip from the 5 Star Conversation with Dave Baswal from Ovolo Hotels , he expressed optimism about technology enhancing the hospitality industry. He sees technology as a valuable enabler for employees, particularly with AI-powered chatbots improving guest interactions by making them faster and more meaningful. This automation of routine tasks allows staff more time to be innovative and focus on creative endeavours, such as crafting classic cocktails or experimenting with new combinations, backed by readily available data.

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Adrian Williams of Accor Group. The final question I asked Adrian was "What advice he would give somebody starting out their hospitality career?"
Adrian drawing from his own enriching experiences advocates for actively seeking diverse experiences and embracing the opportunities the industry presents for personal and professional growth. Highlighting his transformative time working in Canada at the age of 19, Adrian credits such experiences with significantly shaping his life, including meeting his future wife. His advice encapsulates the essence of hospitality as an industry capable of offering more than just a career path; it is a gateway to engaging with the world, exploring new cultures, and forming lasting connections. Adrian encourages newcomers to the field to get engaged, travel, and be open to the myriad possibilities and adventures that a career in hospitality can bring.
