Are you a hospitality professional? Do you have a curious and exploratory mindset? Are you open to opportunity, willing to embrace change, and driven to grow?
If so, you may be interested in joining the Kith & Kin Hospitality community.
As part of the Accelerator project, East Midlands Chamber is sponsoring 15 places, valued at £1,500 each, on Kith & Kin’s Hospitality Growth Masterclass. This Masterclass is in three parts and takes place on 18th November, 16th December and 16th January. Attendance on all three dates is advised.
Delivered by Cassie Davison (NED, Mentor & Business Consultant to the hospitality industry) and Wes Henstock (Marketing & Branding Specialist), this masterclass offers an immersive and intensive three-day experience that covers all aspects of your business.
Learning is delivered through workshops, peer support, mastermind sessions, and expert talks. Over the course of three days, spread across three months, you will work through everything from defining your purpose to shaping your business strategy, refining the customer journey, aligning with your mission and values, and enhancing your marketing efforts. You’ll also have opportunities to develop leadership skills and explore your personal brand.
The course dates are:
* Day 1 Monday, 27th January 2025 at 9:00am – 7:00pm
* Day 2 Wednesday, 5th February 2025 at 9:00am – 7:00pm
* Day 3 Thursday, 27th February 2025 at 9:00am – 7:00pm
You’ll be guided in applying these learnings to ensure the masterclass is tailored to your business needs. Collaboration with peers will help you address current challenges, while insights from industry professionals will provide valuable advice for your success.
Sometimes, it’s about learning something new, and sometimes it’s about being reminded of the things you already know but haven’t applied.
What’s covered?
By the end of the masterclass, you’ll have a clearer direction for your business, having audited your current operations and developed a tailored strategy for the next five years. You’ll create an achievable marketing plan, deepen your understanding of your personal and business values, define your target customer, and design products or services that delight those customers.
What outcomes will be achieved?
Throughout the course, you’ll gain new skills, revisit forgotten best practices, and form new connections that support your business growth. You’ll also learn how to leverage your personal brand for future success. Most importantly, you’ll leave feeling energised, revitalised, and equipped with the motivation and strategies to elevate your business to new heights.
A typical day runs from 9am – 7pm.
