The Travel Network Group has teamed up with a leading business mentoring company to provide its members with coaching on how to run their businesses.
Delegates at this year’s conference in Monaco in November will be able to join a business growth workshop called Maximising the Power of You and run by Jon Asquith of ActionCOACH who will give them advice on how to grow their businesses.
As part of the tie-up members of the agency consortium will be offered the chance to attend a further two one-day events in the UK before the end of the year.
The year’s conference, organised by the parent of the Travel Trust Association and Worldchoice consortia, is entitled ‘The Power of You’.
ActionCOACH claims to be the world’s number one business coaching company and has more than 1,000 offices in 72 countries.
Gary Lewis, chief executive of The Travel Network Group, said: “Since announcing our membership of The Institute of Customer Service (ICS) back at our Obsession Conference in Split in October 2014, not only has it been an invaluable journey for us as a group, but we have helped our members embed the principles, values and behaviours in their businesses.
“Offering this coaching is now the next step and ActionCoach will be a great partner in this process. Jon Asquith has worked with over 1,000 businesses over the last 10 years.
“His sole focus at the workshops will be how delegates can maximise the tools they already have to create a winning culture, fantastic profits and maximise customer retention and acquisition.
“These sessions support the conference theme perfectly, and will be full of practical information delegates can take away and implement immediately.”
Also at this year’s conference delegates will be offered a workshop on the challenges the industry faces in 2018 in relation to regulatory, data and legal changes.
Farina Azam, Travlaw Partner, will discuss the regulatory changes coming into force in 2018, including the ban on debit and credit card charges, the new data protection regime and the Package Travel Directive.
Lewis added: “Our conferences are always aimed at lifting out members out of the day-to-day and focus on how they grow and develop themselves and their businesses for the future.
“We believe that the speakers we have announced in Sir Clive Woodward and Sir Lee Pearson, and the workshops available, will provide for a highly motivational and inspiring two-days together at conference.
“We have massively accelerated the growth of our business since our last conference 18 months ago and our coming together in Monaco will be a great platform to update our members on our achievements and direction going forward.”
