Tourism Pro-Team Program
ENGAGEMENT ACCOUNTABILITY PRODUCTIVITY
Create the Vision. Lead with Purpose. Perform at Peak.
The Journey begins here...
Are you overworked and exhausted from being all things to everyone in your tourism business?
Do you have an effective team in place to support you?
Are you great at delegating or do you find yourself constantly firefighting and rarely able to press pause on the day to day challenges to focus on the future and what strategically needs to happen for the business?
It's been a crazy whirlwind for the last few years and now it's critical to have a great team in place, a formulated plan of action and great vision to pursue.
The challenges are not over for the tourism industry around the globe. It's a matter of being ready, adaptable and flexible.
Here at the The Art of Extraordinary, we specialise in empowering tourism leaders to create and surround themselves with highly-effective professional tourism teams so they can build and lead thriving businesses without sacrificing life's other important priorities like heath, family, and even their freedom.
You've already made big things happen and have had a significant influence on the business, yet you know more is possible, particularly right now, don't you!
Whilst there are a lot of external factors impacting the business, you recognise that it's about what's going on internally.
It might be that you know you need to build the skillset of mid level leaders. Perhaps you already recognise a lack of accountability not with everyone, however some staff.
A shortage on resources remains an ever constant problem, likewise accommodation in regional areas, the priorityu must be on developing and growing existing staff. Perhaps even finding workarounds till the ideal talent arrives onsite.
Maybe the business has undergone significant growth, is there more to come?
Could change management strategies and a clear communication plan be your current priority?
Fortunately no two tourism businesses are the same.
Mostly because we're all unique as leaders. And we significantly influence how our businesses are.
What is similar though, is the mutual focus and dedication of great tourism leadership.
That's why we like working with like-minded.
We love working with passionate and committed tourism leaders who want to make their businesses better and see their product and industry segment, regionally, nationally and globally thrive.
With so much water under the bridge in the last few years, you might have felt like so much was out of your control. Whilst we cannot control the events and circumstances going on around us, we can absolutely choose how we react and respond.
Herein lies the greatest opportunity tourism businesses have right now.
The opportunity at your fingertips is to choose what happens next. As leader, for your staff and team/s, for the business and industry.
You're invited to join us, if and only if, you are committed to working on yourself, your team and prepared to learn and grow the business.

You’ve Got Questions. We’ve Got Answers.
Here are the answers to the most asked questions about starting the Tourism Pro-Team Program. We’re happy to answer any you have!
- Tourism Pro-Team is for established tourism businesses that have a team of minimum 7+ staff and emerging leaders in the business. Ideally the business owner participates in conjunction with key senior or executive leadership team members, as it's a known fact, change happens from the top down and we want you to have the best possible impact and most influence from participating in the program. Decision-making responsibility is key. We do have senior / executive leaders from tourism businesses participate independently with confirmed support from owners/CEO's and a reporting mechanism to ensure accountability and leadership outcomes are aligned with the business capability development needs.
- Tourism Pro-Team focuses on business leadership capabilities. So even if you are not the business owner, we love working with senior or executive tourism leaders to improve their influence and impact with and across team/s. As long as you promise to get the buy-in and engagement of the business owner/CEO, so you can make the necessary improvements across and in your business area and other departments when and where appropriate. You do need to be in a decision-making and in a financially influential role within a business. The program is for those wanting to become extraordinary leaders, ready and willing to work on and develop their business leadership skills.
