I had a quarter-life crisis in lockdown and was feeling underwhelmed by my career in law. After getting involved with a few local cocktail competitions in Bournemouth, and having a curiosity for people, I decided that hospitality was a career I wanted to pursue.

I\u2019ve constantly been supported by the industry through competitions and new job roles that allow me to develop not only my drinks techniques and knowledge, but my personal skills too.\u202fIt was the best career change I could have asked for and have found this industry so rewarding.\u00a0<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;font-style: italic;line-height: 1.2;font-size: 1.5em\">I had a quarter-life crisis in lockdown and was feeling underwhelmed by my career in law. Having a curiosity for people, I decided that hospitality was a career I wanted to pursue.<\/p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">I\u2019m really happy that I have boundaries<\/span>\u00a0which allow me to have a work-life balance. I dote on exploring new flavours and learning something new in the drinks world, but outside I enjoy exploring new music, climbing, bird watching and the outdoors. It\u2019s a good balance to keep the mind calm.\u202f\u00a0<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" style=\"margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 1rem;margin-left: 0px;max-width: 100%;height: auto;position: relative\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-2997\" style=\"vertical-align: middle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Courtney-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" style=\"font-size: 0.8125rem\">Photo credit: Hank&amp;Margot<\/figcaption><\/figure><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">How I approach my work<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">I don\u2019t really believe in gatekeeping<\/span>\u00a0and enjoy sharing my ideas and processes with others, whether they are bartenders or guests at the bar. I love pushing boundaries with flavours, you\u2019ll always notice which drinks I\u2019ve had involvement in, as there\u2019s usually something weird in there!\u202f\u00a0<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;font-style: italic;line-height: 1.2;font-size: 1.5em\">No matter where you come in a competition \u2013 first, fourth, last \u2013\u00a0<em>always<\/em>\u00a0ask for feedback.<\/p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">The most helpful advice I\u2019ve been given<\/span>\u00a0is from my mum. When I first started competing at a high level in equestrian sports at a young age, she said \u2018no matter where you come in a competition \u2013 first, fourth, last \u2013\u00a0<em>always<\/em>\u00a0ask for feedback.\u2019 It was humble advice which in turn has conditioned me to believe that no-one is ever the best at something, we are all constantly learning and growing. That\u2019s what makes life so fun!\u202f\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">Someone I look up to<\/span>\u00a0within industry is my colleague and friend Danny Pope. I have never met someone who is so passionate about customer experience and connections. She knows how to control a room to ensure every guest is having the best time in our venue. We always joke that her job roll is \u2018vibe\u2019. Outside of industry I look up to my nan. She\u2019s a very determined woman and has worked since she was 14 years old, and has even been a landlady, so her work ethic has always inspired me.\u00a0\u00a0<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" style=\"margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 1rem;margin-left: 0px;max-width: 100%;height: auto;position: relative\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_6220-1024x683.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_6220-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_6220-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_6220-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_6220.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-3238 lazyloaded\" style=\"vertical-align: middle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_6220-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" style=\"font-size: 0.8125rem\">Photo credit: Hank&amp;Margot<\/figcaption><\/figure><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">My thoughts on mentorship<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">When I\u2019m thinking about mentors I\u2019m\u00a0<\/span>looking for people who are genuinely excited to be guiding people in industry while being able to accept their own faults and laugh about it. Self-awareness, humility, positivity, integrity and willingness to be a team player are important aspects to look for when choosing who we are to be inspired by.\u202f\u00a0<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;font-style: italic;line-height: 1.2;font-size: 1.5em\">It would be great to see more industry leaders team up with brands to give guidance to the next generation.<\/p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">To help the next generation, leaders need to ensure approachability<\/span>\u00a0in order to educate and also give guidance where it is needed. I\u2019m very fortunate with Birmingham as we are such a wholesome community, we all share ideas and recipes with each other as there\u2019s no competitiveness. We are genuinely excited to see each other do well and build a reputation for the city, themselves and the industry as a whole.\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">It would be great to see more industry leaders team up with brands<\/span>\u00a0to hold masterclasses and to have a bigger platform to give guidance to the next generation, an elevated school of bartending so to speak in the future.\u202f\u00a0<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" style=\"margin-right: 0px;margin-bottom: 1rem;margin-left: 0px;max-width: 100%;height: auto;position: relative\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Courtney-4-1024x683.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Courtney-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Courtney-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Courtney-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Courtney-4.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-2996 lazyloaded\" style=\"vertical-align: middle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Courtney-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\" style=\"font-size: 0.8125rem\">Photo credit: Eva Slusarek<\/figcaption><\/figure><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">My hopes for the future<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">If I could change one thing about our industry<\/span>, it would be<span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">\u00a0<\/span>the perception of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/inspiration\/osman-baycan-and-the-secrets-of-turkish-hospitality\/\">hospitality<\/a>\u00a0as a career. Our industry is incredible and is constantly evolving, we are creative and host great nights at our bars. Tell me how our industry is less important than others when we are so heavily relied on for people\u2019s social lives. In some countries, people really do value the industry \u2013 I\u2019d love to see this become a universal thing in the future. Be proud to be a bartender.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">Bartenders absolutely hold the power<\/span>\u00a0to define the future of the industry. For example, C\u00e1tia Correia and Sophia Rosser have initiated a project called \u2018Safe Spaces\u2019 which aims to empower women and queer people in our community by posing questions and hosting conversations around creating safe spaces for both guests and people who work in industry. It\u2019s admirable how honest and brilliant their series is and is very much needed to determine the future of bars\u2019 ethics and practices.\u202f\u00a0<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;font-style: italic;line-height: 1.2;font-size: 1.5em\">Bartenders absolutely hold the power to define the future of the industry.<\/p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">To make sure our voices are heard in society\u00a0<\/span>the bar community needs to make sure everyone is listened to and celebrated. This can be achieved through supporting your bar community in your towns and cities by singing their praises to your guests as you recommend new spots for them to enjoy. Just having an openness to converse honestly with anyone about the highs and lows is important, as well as creating a safe space for these conversations.\u00a0<\/p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder\">I want my legacy to be<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 300\">\u00a0that I have been a positive member of our industry who has supported the education and growth of the next generation of bartenders through helping and engaging with them whenever they need it.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first of our 2024\u00a0interviewees in this series is Courtney Francis, bartender at Birmingham\u2019s Couch Stirchley in England.
