Here are a few testimonials from the previous Boardroom Lunch Events
“It was a great afternoon and I really enjoyed connecting with the other guests but also learning from the informative speakers – a great balance of personal development and industry update. Looking forward to the next one!".
David Bowen
Director of Hotels
“The Sydney Boardroom lunch was a great initiative to get like minded General Managers around the table to discuss current business challenges in the post COVID world. The addition of the wellness speaker was welcomed as it’s not normally a topic talked about and showed the direct correlation between leadership behaviours and health and wellness. Already looking forward to the next event!".
Sally Burgerss
General Manager
“With figures and outcomes at the forefronts of every mind, its easy to forget about one’s own health and wellbeing and the effects that this can have on our business or staff. 80Twenty’s lunch brought us right back to basics, with Dr Kellie highlighting the direct connection between our own health and our business’ ability to thrive. This was a great opportunity to touch base on the Sydney market, meet and greet and also see where we are headed and the changes involved in the journey. Looking forward to the next on".
Sasha Southam
Accommodation Manager
“It was a great opportunity to get together with GMs that I would not normally cross paths with. I also found the discussion generated by the guest speaker to be really valuable and free flowing”.
Kayte Staraj
General Manager
“A great opportunity to have conversations at a leadership level with GM’s you don’t normally get to meet. Was also nice to hear a guest speaker talk about how we can not only work on our health & wellbeing but how it relates to our teams".
Dane Zaher
General Manager - Brisbane
“I really enjoyed meeting my industry peers, and hearing the operational challenges that others face, but on the other side and a more positive note seeing the increase in demand for Brisbane and what we can expect to see in the future. Then, to top it off, the psychology and mentality behind our leadership approach was fascinating, and I definitely walked out of there with a lot to think about."
