The webinar series on self-awareness and mental health organized by the Executive Committee for EHMA members and partners in close collaboration with member Marco Truffelli and Dr. Jan Ferris to explore a topic so important to leadership has just concluded.

The link between management skills and self-awareness is an exciting development in psychology that affects all sectors, including the hospitality industry.

The first two webinars were held in May on Self Awareness and in September on Psychological Safety, respectively, while the third was presented on November 30 on Compassionate Leadership, a topic that has sparked discussion and inspired several recent essays. The goal of Compassionate Leadership is to create a corporate atmosphere in which one breathes well-being, but at the same time can implement strict management policies. This is achieved by demonstrating constant support, understanding, empathy and listening skills. The benefits of these actions for employees and the community not only improve the company’s performance, but also its reputation.

All three webinars were very interesting and brilliantly presented by Marco and Jan to whom special thanks are due for their professionalism, generosity and helpfulness.
Self-awareness and mental health is indeed a vital topic in the fascinating world of hospitality!
