Hi there,
I have some news I'm excited to share. This fall, I'm teaming up with the British Columbia Hotel Association again for their Fast Track Your Future education series — and this season, the content is all new.
Hospitality Financial Leadership — Level 2 runs over six Wednesdays, September 16 through October 28 (we skip September 30 for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation). Each session is live, online, one hour, at 11 AM Pacific. And if you miss one, recordings are available to registered participants.
Here's what we'll dig into:
Why Hotel Leaders Get Passed Over for Promotion — the one thing that separates good operators from the leaders who get the big jobs
How to Read Your Hotel P&L in 30 Minutes — a three-layer approach that turns the income statement from a wall into your best tool.
How to Build a Hotel Budget Like a Leader — three habits that turn a budget from a math exercise into a plan you can defend.
The Labor Cost Problem Nobody Talks About — why payroll as a percentage of revenue is the problem, and two honest tools that fix it.
The 5 Numbers Every GM Should Know — the five numbers that tell the whole story of your hotel.
From Department Head to GM: The Financial Shift — the thinking change nobody warns you about when you cross into the GM seat.
You don't need an accounting background. You just need to be curious about your numbers — because they tell the whole story of your hotel, and they're a lot friendlier than most people think.
Registration is through BCHA in Canadian Dollars: $415 for members or $595 for non-members. Want to bring your whole team? Hotel registration covers up to 10 participants — $1,150 for members, $1,495 for nonmembers. That's the best value in the house.
