Why Hospitality Coaching with Us?
Experience & Results
James's two decades of coaching experience continues to help deliver outstanding results for the bold operators who seek to be successful leaders in our industry.
What areas of business does hospitality coaching cover?
Hospitality coaching with James covers what we call The five pillars of business. This framework helps clients organise themselves in a way that ensures they have a balanced approach to improving their business.
Most clients begin coaching with James with a couple of areas they are strong in but may have ignored the areas they don't understand or aren't interested in. This leads to underperformance and stress. 1-1 coaching with James will ensure clients excel in all of the five areas - then results follow.
