attend a workshop by Conor Kenny & Associates. I was concerned that
not everyone in attendance would commit and contribute fully to the
process.I need not have worried. Subtly challenging, provoking,
cajoling and supporting each of us, Conor and his team managed to build
a platform of trust where amazing ideas were born. Conor Kenny &
Associates under promised and over delivered. - Pat Chawke, Director of Operations, Aghadoe Heights & O'Reilly Hotel Group I
was delighted to meet Conor about a year ago and we discussed some ways
in which he and his company could assist us here at Fitzpatrick's
Castle Hotel, Killiney. As we were experiencing difficult times like
most businesses, we were open to his suggestions which seemed
different, innovative and actionable. We carried out an "Ideas Factory"
day with Conor and his colleague Grace Gallagher and all the team here
agreed it was a fantastic day with a clear Action Plan which was
implemented and definitely drove business into the hotel. it still
continues to work and we intend to work with Conor and his colleagues
in September this year. Conor is a pleasure to work with and I find a
great person for me to bounce ideas or thoughts off. He is always
positive and believes there is a solution to every problem and most of
all looks at things in a different light which is very refreshing. - Nicky Logue, Director, Fitzpatrick's Castle Hotel, Dublin Conor has a great understanding of
the problems faced by business managers and helps find solutions in
original, interesting and effective ways. His passion for excellence is
evident in everything he does, as is his belief in getting the most

their organisation by thinking differently about how they work. Conor
is someone who can bring about a significant difference to the culture
of a business resulting in higher standards and happier people. - Margaret Fleming, Waterford Airport
Conor is really quite a Genius at guiding us through the ups and downs of hotel life!
- Deirdre McGlone, Chief Executive, Harvey's Point Conor has the rare gift of
listening to all that you say and hearing what you didn't mention! if
you don't want to be challenged and pushed into uncomfortable thought
processes then do not work with Conor, do not call him, write to him or
linger on this page a moment longer. if you want your organisation to
grow, change and prosper then give him a call. - Richard Hannrahan, Managing Director, The Visual Perspective, UK
The Conor Kenny workshop was the best Brainstorm and Think Tank I have ever been to.
- Paul McDaid, General Manager, The Tower Hotel Group The feedback has been very good following your programme with the team, well done Conor. - Colm Hannon, Chief Executive, Luttrellstown Castle, Director, Sandy Lane, Barbados In an era when such massive emphasis is placed on hotel infrastructure, it is refreshing to see that the most vital tenet of hospitality - service - is not neglected. For as industry guru and regular Hotel & Catering Review contributor Conor Kenny often argues, you can build the most spell-binding theatre in the world, yet without investing in your staff - the actors - your business is doomed to failure. - Sarah Grennan, Editor, Hotel & Catering Review "Just a quick note to say that the CKA Members programme is proving to be a great success for us and the feedback I have been getting from my team who have attended courses has been fantastic. The workshops scheduled for the coming months are exactly what we need right now and I am looking forward to attending one or two myself. Thanks to you and all the team for providing this excellent progamme." - Pamela Nolan, Human Resources Manager, Castleknock Hotel & Country Club |
