Episode notes

What if the most important career advice you get this year comes from an ex-investment banker? That's exactly what happened when Florian sat down with the incredible Eu Chin Fen, CEO of Frasers Hospitality, for a LIVEPodcast at IHIF EMEA’s Under 30s Hangout. Eu Chin Fen didn't come from a traditional hotel background, and that's exactly why her take on how to win in this industry is a highlight. Here's a taste of the wisdom she dropped: - Connect the dots (all of them) Your job isn't just your department. From the FrontDesk to the P&L, understand how the whole thing works. Know which line item your role impacts. That's your superpower. - AI can't replace your judgment So, stop panicking about robots taking over! Tech is just a tool. Your real, irreplaceable value comes from your experience and the judgment calls you make. AI can't do that for you. - Authenticity is non-negotiable The most important leadership skill? Being a real human. Especially in a crisis, being vulnerable and finding the "path of truth" is what actually inspires people. Forget the old-school playbook. Ready for a career masterclass without the corporate fluff?
