This is probably our favourite day of the month at Otolo. Robyn's one-day Confidence Workshop always brings together a great group of people who are ready to delve into how they show up in various aspects of their lives and how to build tools to enable us to reach the outcomes we want.
There are 6 spots still available for the February workshop. Just one day before Valentine's Day, this couldn't be a better self-love gift to yourself! โฅ๏ธOR maybe you know someone in your team who would benefit massively from growing and building their confidence in a certain area of their lives.

Yesterday was one of the days that we live for at Otolo ๐คธ
Confidence Workshops are one of the one-day workshops that we offer at Otolo to support the hospitality industry. One of our attendees yesterday said "It was really eye-opening and absolutely brilliant. Not to sound over the top but I felt like a lightbulb went off in the workshop ๐ก"
10 inspiring hospitality professionals from Wales, Somerset, Leicester and London came along and brought such fantastic energy to the room. It's such a privilege to be able to hear the stories and challenges of each person who attends our workshops and work with them to identify ways in which they can achieve their goals around confidence both personally and professionally.
Thank you to everyone who attended! We have three more upcoming workshops over the next few months in Central London and we'd love to welcome some new faces!
Whether you'd like to attend for yourself or to scope out how the Confidence Workshop can benefit your team, please do come along!

We started the week in the best way possible on Monday as we launched our mentoring programme with the fantastic group of hospitality masters students at Missenden Abbey Hospitality School. ๐ All of the students arrived in the UK last week and are studying for their master's over the next 12 months. It was genuinely the most inspiring day to understand the goals of each of the students and how our mentors can best support them on their journey to a career in hospitality.
A huge thanks to Lisa Wyld and Alexandra Constantinescu for welcoming us into your training and investing in promising students who want to join the world of hospitality. Your passion for learning, developing and supporting individuals is incredible and it is a real privilege to work with you โฅ๏ธ

My favourite 'Meet the Mentor Mondays' are back!! ๐๐ฅ
This week, we sit down with Otolo Mentor and Senior UK Operations Manager at Sonder group, Ylenia Taltavull-Lopez. Ylenia tells us how she originally got into the industry and why she feels being a mentor is important!
"Having a mentor is like having a big sister/brother helping you when needed. And always give back, so if you can, be a mentor. You will help someone and also learn at the same time."

You can also hear from Ylenia over on our podcast, Spilling the Team. She is joined by one of her Gen-Z team members to understand and explore what the younger generation is looking for in a future career in hospitality.

At the end of last year, we launched our first insights report, The Parents in Hospitality Report. ๐ก
89% of people agreed that bosses who were emotionally supportive throughout the parental leave period made a huge difference to their return to work and mental well-being. According to a study done by the Employment Law Solicitors, the number of new parents returning to work from parental leave is at a 20-year high.
Yet a staggering 94% of them feel โnervousโ at the prospect of going back to work. Are employers doing enough to quell the anxiety and give returning parents the empathetic, rounded support they need to return to work with confidence?
Our one-day Confidence Workshops are the perfect way to do exactly that. It is a way for us to help support you in supporting your parents returning to work after a prolonged break where their lives have permanently changed. The workshop can be run in-house or you can book individuals on to one of our monthly workshops hosted in London.
