Hospitality Mentorship Program – HMPM

for Managers

Hospitality Mentorship Program for Managers HMPM is a valuable professional development resource, which focuses on career growth and development for experienced or new hospitality managers, department heads and young leaders wishing to climb the corporate ladder. Program provides mentees with an opportunity to gain feedback about their chosen career paths, and access to mentor’s life experiences and wisdom, as well as technical expertise.

HMPM is an ideal solution for Hoteliers to develop their appointed leaders and especially in our times where shortage of experienced managers forces companies to reward or hire fast individuals which are actually not prepared to succeed in that role. Then stakeholders expect new leaders to deliver results very quickly and without any issues. We aim to help them succeed by adjusting our program based on qualifications of mentee, experience and demand of the job.

By sharing our knowledge of more than 25 years of experience in Hospitality Management, we can help you identify your needs, develop and refine a suitable mentoring plan, and continuously support you.

Do you want to learn and grow in your career faster and smarter? Talk to someone you trust about your goals! Get input from your mentor to make sure your goals are reasonable and ambitious enough! Get mentorship and advice directly from the field of hospitality operations!

For companies and organizations aiming to accelerate the integration of appointed leaders, HMPM can be combined with our <Leadership Transition & Integration> process, where we can help you identify your needs, deploy and refine a 3-Month Integration & Development Plan based on your company culture, and then to continuously support with the implementation.

Please note that mentees must be a minimum of 18 years old.
