Power of the Parent

S7 Ep13: Culture


Listen Later

Two guests this week! And it was a dream team of leaders in the hospitality industry. 

Ceri Gott spent over a decade working at Hawksmoor, first as the HRD and eventually as Chief Growth and Culture Officer. After reading an article she’d contributed to earlier this year, she was a top entry on my list of people I wanted on the podcast.

Alongside Ceri, Sofia Gassne joined as well who is the current Head of HR at Hawksmoor and one of CODE Hospitality’s most influential women in hospitality 2023 and 2024. Alongside juggling her day job and being a parent, Sofia also pours her time into campaign work for women’s safety and gender equality. 

The three things we covered were:

  1. It’s all about hospitality
  2. It follows people home
  3. It needs to be protected
  4. There was a question Ceri and Sofia shared towards the end of the episode that I think will stick with me forever and one we could all use in our workplaces - let me know if you spot it! 

    Ceri also mentioned a study with Strathclyde University - so here’s the link to an article referencing it in more detail: https://www.propelinfonews.com/pi-Newsletter.php?datetime=2024-10-25%2011:00:00

    You can find Ceri and Sofia through LinkedIn and of course all those juicy roles people will be applying for with Hawksmoor can be found on their website.
