Well, it was a pleasure presenting to the last group for the Air New Zealand Aviation Institute. Unfortunately the decision makers have changed tack on the training institute and pulling the plug. It was just as lovely as ever to be abel to support these new people coming into the Travel and Tourism industry. To
It is always a privileged and an honour to be invited back to my old alumni for any reason, least of all to speak with the year 12’s. Even if it was the morning after a 32hour flight, I’m still happy to speak with the youth of tomorrow. As always, my prep was weeks in advance and

Well this bring young group of 20 new intakes certainly gave me a run for our money! Right from the word go, they push the boundaries and had me thinking. In a short space of time since starting this course they have really gelled showing they can work well together. It feels like they really understand what
A wonderful bunch of 16 enthusiastic people treated us as we began presenting at the Jet Connect building at Auckland Airport. They started off with a whizz and a bang, yet managed to continue with this enthusiasm right till the end! I was very impressed with their ability to work as a team, and the
I had the opportunity to present to another group of Aviation crew from Air New Zealand. This team of 14 strong had a shy sense about them when we started, that was until we shared about ourselves.
