Originally from an International corporate background, and I fell in love with Nieuwoudtville, but more in the people of the district. They are warm, welcoming and are always there to support. I wish there are people like this all over the world as if it was, the world would be such a good and safe place to live in. I have a few personal values that I would like to contribute towards Linda se Dop and they are: • My guests determines my success - You as my guests are my value proposition and operating metrics • Fast delivery - Therefore you will get my personal attention so that we deliver to you good quality and fast service • Learn and adapt to win - Proactively adjusts strategy to stay ahead of current trends in tourism - Consistently delivers for the guest • Empower and inspire each other – Drives debate that ends in unity of understanding and action – Ignites employee’s passion and motivation to inspire the highest level of performance everyday • Deliver results in an uncertain world – Depicts vision of future that rallies teams to deliver service to guests in new ways – I am eager to profoundly change
