BSB-S1-011   Episode 11 Berlin’s Sleeping Beauties: Kieran Dennis   Kieran Dennis – Once a legend of Berlin’s Event Scene upped anchor and moved back to London where he now works as a DMC for Incentives and Cruise Ships – a business that has been literally stranded over the last few months!     Value Bombs:   Hear about:   How the cruise ship business has been left high and dry since COVID   And how it has been for the most part unfairly demonized by the COVID hungry press pack at the beginning of the Pandemic.     How the UK / London lockdown has compared to that of Berlin    How the meek may possibly still inherit the earth! Not quite, but has the pandemic acted as a catalyst for many to re-assess their true personalities and after the rough and tumble of the events world finding solace in being introvert after all!?   So we wrap up this current series before taking a short summer break by talking today with Kieran Dennis, one of Berlin’s legends of the event scene and long time colleague / sparring partner of mine.  Some 8 years ago he up-stumps and returned to London, where he worked as MD for the London operation of a large global DMC company before setting up on his own running a very successful business working with groups on cruises – a business that has literally been left stranded on the barren beaches of COVID.   We talk about the finger pointing that an over eager media pointed at them in the early phases of the pandemic and the bashing his business has taken.   But then we move on to a more philosophical discussion about the importance of being extrovert (or not) in this sometimes very gung ho and dynamic industry that is often overrun with alpha males ( and females) and how the pandemic has maybe redressed the balance somewhat.  And of course we cannot help but  languish in the rich pool of reminiscence about the good times in Berlin!!   Enjoy         Links:   Kieran Dennis   www.comms-destinations.co.uk   linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/kieran-dennis   Mark Felstead www.mcf-consulting.eu   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   A Podcast Company - is the leading podcast production company for brands, organizations, institutions, individuals, and entrepreneurs.
