What is/was Your Biggest Mentor or Inspiration in Your Career?
I would have to say that my mentor was my Director of Catering at a Starwood Property I worked for shortly after graduating college. Not only did she teach me the sales fundamentals but also demonstrated how to keep a positive attitude in all areas at workplace. She taught me that even a smile on your face while on a difficult phone call, can be received on the other end. The other real focus she instilled on me was teamwork. You must rely on your team for success in this industry! Since then I have worked in a very competitive offices that keeps me striving to BOOK BUSINESS!!
