Accomplishments

Whilst working at travelodge I was referred for their leadership programme called aspire, which consisted of five topics, empathy, problem solving, emotional intelligence, and effective communication. The main things i learned from these 5 topics taught me a lot about how to better handle customer related situations before it escalates, how to be clear with your communication when dealing with customers and even colleagues, and lastly using emotional intelligence to handle delicate situations with professionalism and discretion. Additionally after I had completed the programme I became the go to person to train new starters and often felt like I was in more of a supervisory role as I feel my help and guidance was sought after in many difficult situations as there were no managers on our shift.
