🍕⚽️ The Debate: Supporting Local Pubs vs. Staying Home for the #Euros with Co-op 🏠🍺 Recently, Co-op supermarkets have faced backlash for their campaign encouraging people to "stay at home and watch the Euros with a beer and pizza." While the convenience of enjoying the game from home is appealing, this has sparked a conversation about the importance of supporting our local #pubs. #Pubs have long been the heart of our communities, offering a vibrant atmosphere to watch matches, connect with friends, and support local businesses. While Co-op’s campaign highlights a cozy night in, let's not forget the unique experience of watching football at a pub. The camaraderie, the cheers, and the collective celebration create memories that a home setup simply can't replicate. So, where will you be for the next match? Whether at home with a Co-op pizza or cheering at your local #pub, let's aim to support our communities in the best way we can. 🏟️🍻 #SupportLocal #Euros2024 #Community #LocalPubs #Coop #FootballFans #HospitalityIndustry

The menu tasting was a tough job, but as CEO I felt it was essential that I take on the difficult task of sampling an extensive variety of dishes, from starters to mains and then desserts, and more buffet options and sweet treats than you could shake a stick at. So what did make the cut? Will we be dining on duo of pork shoulder and loin with apple mash and honey roasted veg, or wild mushroom ragout with potato rosti and char-grilled asparagus? Did the popping candy cheesecake make the final selection, and was the raspberry panacotta superior to the chocolate brownie? These, and many other questions, including how is IT and digital leadership evolving, how can you enable cultural change around cybersecurity, and who will be last-person-standing in the bar (not mentioning any names, Dan Hall) will be answered on October 4, 5 and 6 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Oxford Belfry in Thame. We have a limited number of places left, so book now to avoid missing out: https://lnkd.in/eTpWWNxP #CharityITLeaders #Charities #NotForProfit #IT #Digital #Networking #ProfessionalDevelopment

🧐🧐You might be concerned about how others perceive you. Remember, your passion is the key to unlocking any door, while your skills keep it open. Passion comes first, and skills follow, but both are essential for success. Below is content from book of “unreasonable hospitality“: Every week, the general managers and chefs of USHG met around the big table in the boardroom at the offices in Union Square. At the end of the meeting, everyone would share their pet projects, and while I was the youngest person in the room, I was so excited about everything we were doing at MoMA, I talked more than anyone else there: "Guys, we got this amazing matte-black BUNN coffeemaker!" "I'm throwing a company-wide competition for best barista. Send your team, because I convinced a coffee company to donate a trip to Italy as a prize!" "You guys have to hear about this gelato cart— seriously, have you ever seen anything as perfect as this tiny blue spoon?" Daniel was probably irritated by how much I talked in those meetings. but he could sense a passion that made him think I might be a good match for the task ahead - the new GM for the new project. Counting on your passion, keep sharpening your skills! #unreasonablehospitality #passionfirst #skillschallenge
