We wanted to show there was another way to build and lead businesses. So Hospitality Mavericks was born. We wanted to gather together the world’s Mavericks who do things differently from the norm. They are leaders from all walks of life who have shown and proven that there is a better way forward without cashing out on their values; ripping off their people, community and planet. That was over ten years ago. Since then we've worked with and interviewed more than 200 leaders, thinkers and experts on the best way to build a business that makes a positive impact on all stakeholders. We are the home to impactful leaders that KNOW and DO things in a better way. A network for those seeking a different path. So don’t just be like the others! Dare to Be Different ✊

LATEST EPISODE
Hiring the right people at the right time is hard, especially during the biggest labour challenges ever known.
In my latest conversation with Dan Hudson, the CEO and Founder of GiGL, the anti-CV tech startup is making recruitment less boring. We also explore why volatility is an opportunity, the need to change how we hire Gen Z better, how they have eradicated ‘ghosting’ in the application process, and some learning from operating as a tech-first business.

QUOTE I'M REFLECTING ON
TED TALK I RECOMMEND
By accident, I tuned into this talk about kindness by James Rhee, talking about how he used the power of kindness to turn a failing business around.
I learned from watching this fascinating story that kindness is a force that knows no boundaries.
It can mend broken spirits, heal wounded souls, and bridge the gaps between individuals. A simple act of kindness can ignite a spark of hope and create more impact than you can imagine.

“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind. Always.”
-Robin Williams
Have you been kind lately?
This is a question I reflect on often when I do my journaling.
I sometimes struggle to be kind consistently to others and myself.
Kindness is a virtue we as leaders hesitate to embrace in the workplace.
Because we are here to perform and deliver.
We fear appearing weak.
We prioritise getting things done over the experience of those involved.
We are, first and foremost, humans with human problems.
So when you meet someone on your journey, who isn't doing what you expected, don't get frustrated - give them some kindness.
And remember to be kind to yourself.
How can you practise more kindness to yourself and others?

Wise selfishness vs foolish selfishness.Last week, I was captivated by a Netflix documentary featuring the late Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama titled "Joy." Here, they discuss how to find joy and happiness during troubled times. At some point in the interview, they discuss the need to care for yourself without hurting others.They state that you must take care of yourself, or you can not survive or be helpful to others.But caring for oneself should not hurt others. The Daila Lama brings up...
The Power of Positive Energy.None of us can expect to get through life and work without obstacles. Life and work do not always go our way.But that does not mean you can’t navigate it better. You need more POSITIVE ENERGY.In my work observing what Maverick leaders KNOW and DO, I have found that they see positive energy as THE fuel for driving themselves and their organisation to greatness.When I talk about positive energy, I do not think about the rah-rah kind. I think about:- Optimism.-...
