Proven strategies and tactics to help your hospitality business

Kathleen Hogan named President and CEO of HospitalityEducators.com

Kathleen Hogan, MBA CHO assumed the role and title of CEO of HospitalityEducators.com.

“HospitalityEducators.com has evolved from our original services as a membership site to one that provides a broad range of educational services and specific solutions for hotels,” says Hogan. “Almost 80% of the hotels in the US are under 150 rooms. While many of them are branded, an affiliation alone may not be enough for a small business owner to achieve the level of success they are seeking. In the past six years, we have been repeatedly asked to offer recommendations on ways to improve profitability, to increase market share, to improve guest service or to offer personalized training assistance. The site offers valuable information, but the demand for personalized services has determined our need to expand and vary our delivery of knowledge and expertise.”

To meet those and other needs, HospitalityEducators.com is finalizing partnerships with several other entities to deliver an assortment of measurable results. These include:

Industry specific, “how to” videos for all levels in hotels
Online training for new managers and supervisors.
Regional workshops on soft skills development, sales and marketing, hospitality management and human resources
Collaborative ventures and certificate programs with a select number of colleges and universities.
eBook resources, with an emphasis on hospitality and hotel management.
A MasterMind series that identifies hot topics and stress areas, working with industry leaders in providing proven options and answers

Kathleen Hogan has a background in management, banking and finance. With years of professional experience in business and an MBA in Human Resources Management, she has expanded her scope to include the hospitality industry over the last 20 years.

She is Co-founder of HospitalityEducators.com, a consortium of successful corporate and academic professionals that delivers focused training and counsel in solving specific challenges facing hospitality.

She has experience successfully launching entrepreneurial businesses in several different industries and her banking experience ranges from small-town savings to prime mortgage lending institutions in loan origination, processing, and desktop-underwriting.

HospitalityEducators.com Co-Founder John Hogan, CHA CHMS CHE CHO, who has served as CEO since 2010, will focus his efforts in creating new programs, new course content and the creation of a series of eBooks and blended learning vehicles. His title will change to that of Chief Learning Officer (CLO) at HospitalityEducators.com.

Unlocking the Power of Digital Literacy (in: Media + Social Media ) Apr 14, 2023: We are in the digital age, a new era of learning. Our children do not remember life before the Internet. Social media is their preferred method of communication. I am amazed how my sons took to the digital environment without any formal instruction. To them, speaking in “digitalk” is an intuitive form of expression. For the most part, their teachers at school cannot relate to what it truly means to be digital.

Keys To Success | How to keep the PASSION in your career | 101 of the Greatest Ideas in Management - (in: Recommended Reading) Apr 13, 2023: I first wrote on this topic for the Birmingham Alabama, BUSINESS FIRST weekly business newspaper. I recently found an old comic strip story, in Sally Forth, where the 11-year-old daughter is asking her working mother for help in completing a school assignment. The question is on careers and the mother is asked if her job is “fun.” The mother responds that “fun” is not quite the right word for it. “Are you sure that is what it says?” she asks. The daughter spells F-U-N and the mother continues, “If work were fun, people would say ‘I’m going to fun’, rather than ‘I’m going to work.’ ” The daughter answers she is confused; the mother puts everything into perspective by telling the daughter to “just put down that I usually like my job.”
