Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: Who do you work with?
I work with what I describe as the wider hospitality ecosystem - operators, suppliers, services, education, industry & municipal government.
Roles tend to be founders, CEOs & execs. Investors, PE firms, family offices.
New for 2026, I'm adding in a group program for GMs, area managers, team managers, head chefs, sales reps.
Question 2: What services do you offer?
For several years, I've worked with CEOs and founders, oneoccasionally running group programs. As we move into 2026, I'm adding group programs for GMs and team managers, partly because so many GMs, head chefs and other managers are burning out, and through in-house groups or individual enrolment into 'public' groups, I can help.
Question 3: How do I find out more information?
Simply click the blue button and DM me in LinkedIn. I want to know I can help you. Then we'll arrange a short video call so I can better understand your current situation and what you want to achieve, so I can identify the best program.
Question 4: What's the investment to work with you DC?
I've curated a range a services, from my longstanding CEO and Founder one-on-one mentoring through to in-house leadership groups, and individual access groups, some new for 2026. Let's chat about your specific situation and what you want to achieve. Then I'll recommend the program that will give you the results you want - as long as you're ready!
Question 5: I don't care about people, place and planet. Just me. Will you take my money?
Not unless you change your approach to leadership and business. Happy to recommend you to people who will.
