Ditched Helicopter Award - The Meat Company

A couple of years ago I did an event at the newly opened Meat Company restaurant located in the "new" old town in Dubai and have really enjoyed going back a few times since.
However I recently went, having booked in advance, and asked to sit outside. This isn't something you can often do in Dubai and it was delightful - looking out over the lake in front of the new Burj Tower and watching the fountain show.
There was a surprise,however, that the prices had gone up but then - as I'm finishing my dessert and before coffee - I am asked (actually told) if I would go inside now as they had booked the table for someone else!

Bad, bad news - and a DITCHED HELICOPTER AWARD goes to THE MEAT COMPANY for doing such a thing.

About Me

My Photo
I am an Oxford based Business Expert, International Speaker, Business Advisor, Author, Mentor and Consultant who (I am told!) inspires and entertains my audiences with my acclaimed 'Staying in the Helicopter®' series of keynote speeches, seminars, workshops and master classes focussed on transformational change and profitable growth. I am a former plc CEO, The Academy for Chief Executives Speaker of the Year and Past-President of The Professional Speakers Association. So what all that means is that I just love working with people helping them to grow and develop their businesses - from the smallest one-man start-up to the largest multi-national corporate. It's all about seeing the wood for the trees, getting up in my helicopter, and keeping it simple! I do believe that business is really simple it's just us human beings that make everything complex.
