How Yvette Campbell Turned Doubt Into A Hospitality Powerhouse
Ever been told you’re not ready or not the “right fit”? Meet Yvette Campbell, a meeting broker and hospitality leader who turned early doubt into a career built on creativity, precision, and care. We trace her path from a restaurant host stand to banquets, weddings, sales leadership, and global venue sourcing—showing how initiative and anticipation can replace pedigree and open doors across hotels and events.
We dig into the skills that actually move careers forward in hospitality: reading a room, designing site tours that respect a planner’s time, and using thoughtful follow-ups to build loyalty long after checkout. Yvette unpacks what makes a winning site visit—greeting at the door, tailoring the walk-through to the group’s true needs, and presenting crisp proposals that make decision makers look like heroes. She also shares how constraints can fuel creativity, from reimagining complex cultural weddings in unconventional spaces to negotiating contracts that protect budgets without sacrificing experience.
Resilience threads through her story. Yvette talks candidly about rejection, collecting no’s, and the difference direct feedback can make when paired with care. We explore women helping women, the post-pandemic training gap, and why small personal touches—like a guest’s favorite coffee or a handwritten card—create brand memories no ad can match. She also opens up about the joy of adopting her son and how faith and family keep her grounded while she sources venues around the world.
If you lead teams, plan meetings, or want to grow in hospitality without a traditional degree, you’ll find practical playbooks and mindset shifts you can apply today. Subscribe, share this with a colleague who needs a boost, and leave a review with your favorite takeaway so we can bring more conversations like this to your feed.
