It’s been reported that well over 800,000 jobs have been lost in the hospitality, events & leisure industries so far in 2020. Every day we log on to our LinkedIn accounts and see experienced and highly skilled professionals despairing over the daily task of job hunting.

With so much talk about wanting 2020 to be over, it is important to remember come the 1st January 2021 the world is not going to automatically change to a pre pandemic world. Goals big and small can be the stepping-stones to a happier life and the way we set them can make a difference to achieving them.
