“I remember every day very clear and will take our reflections with me for the rest of my professional career, and even my personal life.”

Gregory Foster / Assistant Hotel Manager at citizenM London

“Diego was my mentor during a leadership course, Future Stewards, to become an assistant hotel manager. During this time, Diego helped us discover our own leadership qualities by prompting genuine questions about emotional & social intelligence, and how a deeper understanding of these concepts could facilitate us becoming the leaders we aspire to be. Diego’s ability to bring people together in a safe, nojudgement

environment, allowed me to be vulnerable and brought to light feelings which I had not considered previously.

He helped me see the value in being vulnerable and accepting of one’s feelings which has allowed me to become a balanced and empathetic leader. What I enjoyed the most about the course he facilitated was that we shared a common purpose to strive towards creating environments which welcome, support, and believe in people. As such, Diego’s mindset has inspired me to reflect on “why” we do things, rather than simply “what” we do. It speaks wonders that even though Diego and I spent a short time together, I remember every day very clearly and will take our reflections with me for the rest of my professional career, and even my personal life.”
