From the farm, and small-town roots, to big city success as a hospitality leader.
Wonder what it’s like being the youngest of 11 children and living on a working farm, then growing up to be Managing Director at the prestigious Omni Dallas?
For this week’s episode, I had the joy of talking with Carolyn Dent!
Here are some very cool stories that stood out to me….
🌱 Carolyn’s childhood “farm-to-table” life: way before it was a hip trend, Carolyn’s experience growing up on a working farm in Central Missouri as the youngest of 11 taught her early lessons about hospitality and the importance of family!
✨The magic and scale of the hotel industry: from culinary to security, the hotel industry has something for everyone. Even if you don’t know what you want to do now, it is a perfect launchpad for countless industries!
🏨 Inspiring the next generation: Carolyn talks about some of the partnerships the Omni has, including a mind-blowing project she did to transform a classroom to a simulated hotel!
Carolyn’s passion for people, giving back, and educating the next generation is obvious. She shares so many great perspectives and insights into leadership, work ethic, and hospitality.
