Advice from Lou Ann Dorney

Quotes about career path, skills, and teamwork from an industry leader.
At age 18, I did an internship at a Country Club and became a banquet captain.
I fell in love with the people, and got hooked on the hospitality industry.
I knew this was right the right industry for me when it did not feel like a job or a chore anymore.
It was fun, satisfying and fulfilling.
I keep up with what’s new and upcoming in the industry whether it’s concepts, cuisines, or beverages.
Two things I just can’t live without:
a comfortable pair of shoes and some lip gloss.
During my 20’s I was the Food and Beverage Director at a Country Club.
My General Manager had a great way of helping me understand that you only have one chance to create a lasting memory for a guest, so always make sure the first time counts.
