We are very excited to launch the first bonus episode on the POH Network and kick off our collaboration with Worksmith Community Talks this year in this first-panel discussion which happened in February 2023.

Following one of Worksmith's most well-received articles, Do You Need A Mentor?, we decided to dig a little deeper into the topic at the year’s first Worksmith Community Talk.

For those of us who see hospitality as a career for life, working towards self-improvement, growth and the right steps to progression can be tricky to unpack and navigate. Equally, as a team within a business, tackling strategy and culture to reach its full potential can be challenging.

Often mentorship can be perceived as a privilege to those with means, but does having a coach or mentor need to have financial consequences? Are there smart ways to garner similar support through a colleague or friend within the industry?

So how would a mentor or coach come into the frame for you? What is a mentor? And, what is a coach? How do you know if you need one? Perhaps you can’t see the forest for the trees? Maybe you feel like you’re treading water?

For the year’s first Worksmith Community Talk, we speak with three talented individuals who've been at both the receiving and giving end of mentorship & coaching. They’ve covered the above questions multiple times and will be here to shed some light on how best to approach mentorship & coaching.

Joining journalist Dani Valent will be Bek Malherbe the Founder of Silent Partner, Kate Langford the CEO of The Big Group and Roscoe Power the co-founder and Co-CEO of Worksmith.
