Klaus Kabelitz- GMP Jan. '07
General Manager
The Berkley, United Kingdom
"The GMP has opened the doors to international networking and given me an amazing introspective perspective of where I am personally not only in my career but in my life. It has also provided new insights into the future of the industry and more specific ways that I may develop and evolve my future goals and expectations."
Rudi Janse van Rensburg- GMP June '07
General Manager
Protea Hotel Nike Lake Resort, Nigeria
"In our normal working day and environment as GM’s, we may not always receive honest and open feedback about the decisions we make and ideas we instigate at work from our managers and associates. At The GMP, it’s embracing and refreshing to receive open global challenge and feedback. This ensures that I will go home with the assurance that I allow and encourage my team to share the same open feedback. The best course I’ve ever attended in my educational and professional career (having worked
on 3 continents and in 5 countries!)."
