Episode 3 of the IoH I’m In podcast, hosted by Phil Street is available to members tomorrow (Thursday 25/11/21), via the members’ area of our website or listen on the IoH Connect app.
In episode 3, sponsored by Caterer.com, discussing this month’s topic, Awards and accolades – the good and the bad, are three IoH members from across the world, at different levels in their careers.
Brand Consultant Yvonne Joseph AIH from Lagos, Nigeria; Emily Coubrough MIH, recent Acorn Award winner and Guest Experience & Communications Manager at the Iconic Savoy Hotel, London and Celebrity Chef Cyrus Todiwala FIH and founder of the Zest Quest Asia competition for student chefs who aim to deliver the best in Asian Cuisine.
The lively chat debated how awards and accolades can increase your peer network, what it takes to produce an awards program, how they can inspire the next wave of talent, how prizes can be an inspiration, how winning can motivate teams, how being nominated can be enough, and how too many awards can dilute their appeal. Amongst many other points.
Going off-topic, Phil also uncovered why the members said #imin to the IoH, the significance of the IoH Mentor Me scheme and how sometimes you need to slow down your career ambition in order to help you get ahead.
