In Back of House Banter, GuestRevu's Amy Branford chats with leading hoteliers and other hospitality industry leaders about their careers, life lessons, and aspirations. Joining Amy in this five-part series is Paula Carreirão, an influential thought leader in hospitality. Having worked both as a hotel GM and a marketer for hotel technology, she has plenty of lessons to share from her hospitality, marketing and life experiences.
Part 1: Taking the plunge
Changing your career path is a scary prospect, but it can be done! In this episode, Paula Carreirão explains how (and why) she left a well-established career as a hotel general manager to try her hand at content marketing, eventually becoming a thought leader in hospitality tech.
Part 2: Rising to the challenge
Paula has never been one to shy away from a challenge or opportunity (or both). In this episode, she shares how she goes about preparing for and jumping into new challenges.
Part 3: Building a personal brand
From sharing both charisma and knowledge to figuring out the boundaries between personal and professional, building a personal brand is all a balancing act. Paula shares her ideas for walking this tightrope.
Part 4: Mental health matters
Now that the world is settling down somewhat after the pandemic, Paula reflects on what she learned about mental health – not from her psychology degree, but from her own experiences – and Amy reminds us all that there are people and places we can reach out to for help.
