Benedicta receives support to commence her hospitality service journey

At a point in my journey, I felt lost and wanted to give up until I began to receive coaching from BAWYP. Now I am motivated and feel equipped with the necessary knowledge I need to succeed.

I received support to acquire the various statutory licenses. Through the coaching, I have been able to set achievable goals with timelines and track progress on weekly basis. For a new entrant, my marketing needs have been well served with strategies to sell my outlet. On the other hand, criticisms are constructive and unbiased with a focus on growth, success and less wastage of resources

BAWYP’s coaching is extremely valuable. I believe my success in this line of business is not far-fetched!”
