Today has given me more focus and the enthusiasm and confidence to empower the rest of the team. Thank you for another interesting and inspiring Conor Kenny & Associates Workshop.
Suzie Molloy – Faithlegg House Hotel, Waterford.
Very comprehensive and interactive with realistic and simple techniques to improve your day-to-day job. Thank you all very much.
Aedamar Drummond. Merrion Hotel, Dublin
Brainstorming sessions were invaluable and excellent ideas came out of them.
Lorraine Allis. Carlton Dublin Airport Hotel, Dublin
I have enjoyed today which is always a bonus for a course. I am going away more motivated and have a much better understanding of what the client wants.
Joanne Hickey. Absolute Hotel, Limerick
Informative and up to date. Everything was relevant to where I want my sales direction to go. It was great to discuss new ideas and learn from the facilitator’s experience.
Miriam Ferriter – Ballygarry House Hotel, Kerry
Refreshing.A super group and it was great to share ideas with everyone.
We shared a lot within the group and are now less panicked about sales calls and feel more positive.
