About Grind Academy
A little over a decade ago, excel skills and other technical abilities defined the best commercial professionals in hospitality. Today, against a backdrop of progressive and emerging technology, soft-skills reign supreme. To reach the pinnacle of commercial success, you need to build a strong leadership and cultural foundation that will support your ascent. The Grind Academy guides you on a metamorphosis journey to help unlock you and your teams full potential.
Critically, Grind Academy coaches and trainers have 'walked the walk' in their respective fields so you're learning from facilitators who have gained the necessary experience first-hand and dealt with real-world challenges like you.
