OUR
TESTIMONIALS
“Mentoring is a very important thing for both sides. To have different perspectives and bridge generational gaps is something that both the Mentee and the Mentor learn from. The things we give and get from each other will shape all of our journeys.”
- Tom Alabaster, Otolo Mentor
“I very much recommend becoming a mentor. Having a mentor is like having a big sister/brother helping you when needed. We should always give back, so if you can, become a mentor. You will help someone and also learn at the same time.”
— Ylenia Taltavull, Otolo Mentor
“I think a mentoring programme supports so many different areas of hospitality as a whole - the positive knock-on effect of the mentor/mentee relationship is huge both within teams and the wider public.”
— Milly Gregory, Otolo Mentor
“I recommend mentoring as we are never too old (or clever) to be able to ask for advice. We all have experiences from however long we have worked for, it's about putting your hand up and asking.”
— Nicholas Wight, Otolo Mentor
“Being mentored and becoming a mentor is a real privilege. I receive such great advice and insight from my mentor and this also helps level up my mentoring skills too. I always leave sessions feeling motivated and inspired.”
- Katherine Merley, Otolo Mentor
“I've been part of the Otolo mentorship program for several months now, and I must say it has been an incredibly enriching experience. The mentors are highly knowledgeable and supportive, providing valuable insights and guidance that have helped me grow both personally and professionally. The program's structured approach and regular interactions have kept me motivated and on track toward my goals. I highly recommend the Otolo mentorship program to anyone seeking meaningful mentorship and growth opportunities. It's been a game-changer for me”
— Saffy, Otolo Mentee on the Mentoring Programme
from Turtle Bay
“I’ve been on the Otolo Mentoring Programme for 3 months now. The programme has been absolutely amazing. I would recommend it to my family or my friends if they were in the industry. There are people out there with a world of experience and a world of knowledge who want to help you grow, they want to transfer that information and help you achieve your goals. The group coaching calls have really opened my mind and have allowed me to see that we’re all in this together and we’re all going through the same thing. I find that I’ve been getting more and more excited for my next mentoring meetings. I highly recommend joining the Otolo Hospitality Mentoring Programme.”
- Melissa, Otolo Mentee
“The Confidence Workshop is eye-opening, helpful, and unique to anything we have run before. There is guaranteed to be something in it that strikes a chord with you. In particular, mine was about self-talk and how we view judgment. You can see the more the session goes on the more people have that lightbulb moment of realisation that a lot of how we behave is to do with confidence.”
— Leanne Gunson, Head of Learning and Development at Pizza Pilgrims
“It was absolutely fantastic and definitely the best workshop I’ve attended. The flow was brilliant and the exercises built on each other to have great progress over the course of the day. It was invaluable to see everyone in the group be so open about their experiences and be able to work through some real challenges and be really specific. Thank you so much!”
- Joana Petrova, Head of Marketing at Harri
