Do you dream of doing your own thing? Do you ask yourself... "There must me more than this?"

Are you desperate to get control back? Do sometimes wish you could work on the beach, in the park or at home, instead of within the same four walls? Do you sometimes feel you are being left behind? Are you dreaming of something else... but just don't know what it is yet?
.. I was there not so long ago and now after 2 children, a redundancy, a severe stroke and a lot of hard work... I'm now at the beach!

Something BIG is happening in glamping… Imagine walking into a field and finding everything from beautiful tents to luxury cabins, with the people who build them right there for you to talk to.

You can ask the questions that really matter:

What are they made from?

How well are they built?

What will they look like on my land?

What will they cost?

And which option is actually right for my business?

That’s just one part of what’s waiting for you at Glamping Show Americas.

Alongside the incredible range of products and suppliers, there’s an epic two-day learning experience designed to challenge your thinking, spark new ideas and… quite possibly… change what you’re planning for your business.

You’ll be surrounded by founders, operators, designers, investors, suppliers and visionaries.

People already building incredible places to stay, alongside those bringing their next big ideas to life.

Because this isn’t just about tents and unique and amazing accommodation.

It’s about ideas, innovation, investment, connections and the future of outdoor hospitality.

Whether you’re dreaming about your first glamping site, already running one, or figuring out how to take your business to the next level… this is where the industry comes together.

And I’ll be there with Steph as Conference Coordinators, so come and say hi👋

Glamping Show UK 11th September: For years, glamping businesses have been told to focus on Google, social media, OTAs, good photography and great reviews to stay visible.

While they're all still important, the playing field is changing, and I think many independent glamping owners haven’t yet realised just how significant that shift could be.

Why would they when they're so busy?

So that’s what I’ll be talking about at The Glamping Show UK on Friday 11th September, in my session:

*The Visibility Shift: How Future Guests Will Discover Your Glamping Business*

Join me for practical steps you can start taking now to keep your business visible, relevant, and bookable when guests look for their next holiday.

NAEC Stoneleigh Park, at 12pm on Friday 11th September.

I’d love this to be more than a presentation. Bring your questions, your concerns, your frustrations about marketing and AI, and let’s have a conversation about what the future of visibility really looks like.

And because every day is a school day, I’ll be spending the rest of the Show listening, learning, meeting people and soaking up what’s happening across the industry too.

The seminar programme and trade show in the UK are free to attend, so if you haven’t registered yet, this is a good time to do it. This is Glamping https://www.theglampingshow.com/

You stand on your land, and you can already see it. Guests arrive with excitement. Lanterns glowing at dusk. The sound of the fire crackling under the stars. Five-star reviews rolling in. A business that finally gives you freedom, purpose, and a life that feels like your own.

But between the dream and the reality... that’s where overwhelm can creep in.

The planning. The decisions. The fear of getting it wrong. The endless things you feel you should already know.

And that’s exactly why The Glamping Owners Club exists.

You didn’t buy a property to stay stuck in confusion or spend sleepless nights second-guessing every step.

You bought it because you saw the potential.
Because you’re brave enough to create something extraordinary.
Because you know you’re capable of building a completely different kind of life.

The vision is already there. The opportunity is already there.

Now you need the guidance and support to bridge the gap between dreaming and doing.

Inside The Glamping Owners Club, ambitious glamping owners are getting expert advice, real-world support, and the confidence to launch and grow the right way from day one.

Your future guests are waiting for what you’re about to build.

I genuinely believe we are in a thrive-or-die moment in history, and this is the one thing that will help those in the 'thrive camp'…

*Adapting to change*

Change used to be something we had to react to only occasionally.

Now?

It’s something we have to lead on daily.

After years working with unique hospitality and event owners, operators and suppliers across conferences, consultancy and hands-on business development work, one thing is clear to me…

The most successful operators aren’t the biggest or the flashiest.

They’re the ones who have learned how to adapt, flex and bend like the wind!

As I look forward to 2026 and beyond, I realise that the skill of *managing change* isn’t just a 'nice to have’... it's an essential.

Here’s why:
> Guest expectations are shifting faster than ever (it’s getting hard to keep up)
> People want experiences that feel personal, have higher value and are friction-free (from looking to booking)
> What worked even two years ago already feels dated (for smaller teams, this is scary)

And the number one disruptor... new technology and AI (no surprise there!)

This is no longer optional.

Gone are the days when owners could say, “I don’t want to learn new systems. I want to keep things low tech”.

From dynamic pricing and smarter marketing to leaner operations. The winners aren’t replacing people or themselves with tech… they’re using it to give extra support to staff, get more done and free up time for what really matters: *the guest experience*.

But I’ve seen this go wrong a few times, notably when change is imposed on people. *This creates resistance*... And when change is done with people, it *builds loyalty and momentum*.

I recently delivered training to a large hospitality business that understood they needed to prepare for what lies ahead. I loved the fact that everyone was there, from the higher management to the reception staff. Everyone learnt the essentials, and it wasn’t long before they were all on board.

Everything's evolving and changing, from tech, systems, business models, revenue streams, guest preferences, styles of hospitality, modes of accommodation, marketing techniques and more… all requiring owners and leaders to think differently… faster.

The truth is, embracing change doesn’t fail because the idea is wrong.

It fails because people aren’t supported through the transition.

That’s why I believe the hospitality leaders who will thrive in 2026 will be the ones who:
> Stay curious rather than defensive
> Experiment, test, learn and adjust instead of waiting for 'perfect’
> See change management as an essential skill
> Involve every member of the team every step of the way
> Know that they don't need to do this on their own (I can help you)

Change isn’t something to fear. Handled well, it’s one of the most powerful growth tools we have.

*Other than the inevitable New Year's resolutions, what are the most significant changes you’re navigating right now? I’d love to know…*

Top tips for finding balance
Busy doesn’t always mean productive. Success doesn’t mean balance. Calm often creates better results.

Running a glamping or hospitality business doesn’t mean filling every moment with noise.
Some of the most powerful ideas come when you give yourself space to breathe, think, and be.
Here are a few ways to find the balance in stillness:
Know when multitasking helps and when it doesn’t
Switch off during walks, gardening, or time in nature 🌿
Protect your quiet moments like a precious jewel
Let silence turn into creativity
Pause before pressing play and ask what you really need

Why White Space is Essential
We live in a world designed to fill every gap. But your brain doesn’t thrive in clutter.

Your brain needs rest and space just like your body. Not just sleep… space to digest, reflect, and simply be.
Creativity doesn’t grow in constant noise. Calm doesn’t come from doing more.
Make white space a priority and watch clarity, calm, and creativity bloom.

Discover the science behind it on the blog and try 10 minutes of silence today. Do you notice the difference? Share your wins 👇

Silence Sparks Creativity
Did you know that our brain doesn’t switch off when we’re quiet… it lights up!

Science tells us that brilliant “a-ha!” moments happen when your brain has space to roam.
Walking the dog, gardening, or even washing dishes are moments when your Default Mode Network (DMN) kicks in and sparks creativity.

Discover the science behind it in the blog.

Next time you feel stuck, don’t reach for your phone… reach for silence!

Inspire me with the last time you had a creative breakthrough in the quiet!👇

The Power of Quiet Moments

What if the secret to your next big idea isn’t learning… but silence?
Stress-free glamping business success starts in silence. I used to fill every moment with podcasts, audiobooks, and courses… until I started leaving space for quiet.
The result? Ideas, clarity, and unexpected breakthroughs started showing up when I wasn’t chasing them.

Try it: leave the headphones behind, take a quiet walk, and notice what bubbles up.

If you’ve had a ‘Eureka!’ moment in the silence, inspire us all by sharing what you did below 👇
