Real leadership. No fluff. Just honest conversation.
This World Wellbeing Week, we're revisiting the panel discussion from our Burnt Brunch event in partnership with Planday - recorded live at art'otel London Battersea against the backdrop of Battersea Power Station.
Host Mica Maurtua sits down with Cassie Davison, Michelle Moreno, and Kris Hall for a no-nonsense conversation about what modern hospitality leadership actually requires - not surface-level wellbeing talk, but real clarity, real confidence, and real-world insight.
In this episode:✅ Moving from reactive firefighting to intentional leadership✅ Balancing people and performance without burning out✅ Practical tools you can take straight back to your team✅ The reminder that you are not alone in the pressures you're facing
Leadership cannot be done alone. If you're carrying the weight of a team, a kitchen, or a business right now - this conversation is for you.
