“I am on The Journey to discover what is next” she says with a sincere grin breaking across her face. It’s the kind of smile that says there is more to the story.
As long as I can remember I wanted to study the Hospitality Industry” Liz Cheshire says with dancing eyes. Then the stories begin. They include tales of childhood role plays where she opened “restaurants” and marketed gourmet French toast to her family members. They weave through experiences from numerous travels abroad and enlighten listeners to the art of service in amazing destinations such as Grenada, Thailand, China and Africa. And then….they always come back home, for “home” is where her true journey lives.
“Following the goals that The Journey establishes, lets me find out exactly what I am capable of.” She is certainly capable of quite a lot. She began with the Sheraton University City as a Catering Sales Manager and has been in the sales department ever since, wearing many hats…Group Sales Manager, SMERF Market and Tour and Travel Markets Champion as well as Wedding Specialist. She is also a beloved and talented Journey Trainer.
Her teammates use two words to describe Liz, “Can Do.” Liz Cheshire’s “Can Do” life journey began within the loving excitement of a very large, Italian family in South Jersey… “not to be confused with North Jersey” Liz clarifies. She felt the need for space and found it at the Australian International Hotel School in Canberra, Australia’s Capital. And, after graduation, she felt the need for family, so she returned home. Today, she and her husband Jason are homeowners in that beloved “South Jersey” and lovingly parent their 3-year-old Husky, Charlie.
Liz has traveled all over the world but that wonderful anchor of family always brings her back “home”. For Liz, the ten principles of The Journey are also like that anchor, “they create a framework for decision making, letting you know if you’re veering off track…. and bringing you right back on. It makes it easier to achieve your goals if you are constantly moving in the right direction.” |
