All the information was very clear, the way each topic was explained was really smooth and kept me interested and wanting to learn more. You can tell they both have fun and enjoy what they do. It is amazing the way Mr. Wayne shared his trajectory and knowledge, how he shows you things from another point of view.
I can just say thanks again for this extraordinary opportunity, it all reminded me again why I am at this industry.

Vakkaru, Maldives
It was an absolute pleasure for all of us to have had the opportunity to bring you back to our timeless sanctuary to do the butler training during this year 2022.
Words are not enough to express how thankful we are, for the very fun engaging trainings that you held from the 12th of this month till today.
All the team members who went to the training came back to the operations with more confidence, more positive energy and with more fine-tuned deportment which is great to see.
The training not only gave them or benefitted to them on the mentioned areas, but your patience, and tailoring the course sessions according to their needs and compacting the main areas that we highlighted, touched their hearts and this have massively improved on their spirit and the team work with more focus on the guest operations.
The Refresher courses and the train the trainer went extremely well, allowing our team members who did the course during 2021, to asses themselves knowing that they can do much more in educating and taking leadership on building the teams.
Ali Almaas, Front Office Manager
It was very important to get lessons from a person who has a great understanding of luxury & a professional personality. Both Wayne & his assistant were brilliant from start to finish.

Student Feedback
"I wish we had more trainings like this. The trainer - Mr. Alistair did a wonderful job in delivering the course content, even the time was quite short and he struggled with his throat, he still tried his best to make sure all of us understood everything.
Thanks to everyone who made this happen, especially Mr. Alistair."
"I was very happy with this training course. The teacher is so nice. I learnt a lot from this training."
"I understand that we had to go through a lot of sections in a short amount of time,so we didnt have time to practice during the course but it’s fine, totally understandable. There’s nothing that i could ask for more. I really enjoyed the course."

Let me start by saying that you never let us down and we were happy with the training as a whole, we were very glad that we chose you over other trainers and that your wealth of industry experience and your familiarity with the Raffles brand reflected so well in the training.
We felt it was important to ensure there was a return on our investment in future training engagements with Aspire.
Bernd Knaier , Hotel Manager
Raffles Singapore
I would like to share my most sincere appreciation for the highly personalized Butler Training programme that you have curated to our team’s needs. Right from our first conversation, you listened carefully to our training goals and objectives, asked the right questions and shared a draft training plan so that both parties were aligned.
In our subsequent conversations, we both aligned the priorities of each module and what we would like to achieve from it. Thereafter, you carefully crafted out the training slides and activities.
On property and in our actual 7 days training programme, your passion and enthusiasm has clearly rubbed off on our younger butlers.
It is evident that both Alistair and you, come from a strong Operational background & have great Butler experience enabling you to understand the dynamics of today’s hotel environment. Both were able to make practical recommendations through training observations and reading our Standard Operating Procedures.
It has been such a joy to work with Aspire Globally and we look forward to collaborate again.
Grace Kiong, Head Butler
Pan Pacific Hotel, Manila
Mabuhay! It was a great pleasure having you among us one more time to share your passion with our people.

You truly have created a memorable professional impact on our brand and our Butlers.
What we truly do together is create wonderful opportunities for growth and development of people.

The Datai, Langkawi
I would personally like to thank you so much for your outstanding training shared with our team recently. Being a trainer myself, besides your mix of theory and exercise approach, what I liked most about your training was how knowledgeable, active and flexible you are.
You fit our operational needs, you listen to our challenges, you explain in a very clear manner and guide us well through your content & feedback sharing.
For me, that requires a high level of passion and you have delivered it so well.
You’ve made the sessions so interesting, active and informative. The entire training experience was amazing and based on my observations, feedback from other departments and guest feedback, the team have developed beautifully ever since.
Wayne, I am already looking forward to having you with us again, until we meet again at the heart of 10 million years old of rainforest.
Norliza Selamat Din, Learning & Development Manager

I would like to thank you for flying over and conducting butler training for our employees. We appreciated such an informative and fruitful series of training sessions that were conducted.
Our team had a great time with you, and I am sure that this training program will be valuable and beneficial to us in the long run.
Joseph W. Y. Chong, Regional Vice President, Asia
Intercontinental Hotel, Shijiazhuang
We would like to thank you most graciously for your incredible ability to transform our people and for helping us to open our first butler department.
You were strongly recommended by our sister Hotel in Hong Kong and you proved to be everything we hoped for.
We strongly recommend you to our sister hotels and any luxury brand who want to elevate their service from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
On behalf of all my team, I want to say well done for all your hard work and efforts, you have left my team inspired and ready to surpass all our guests expectations as we embark upon our journey to delivery magical hospitality skills.
Philip Ding, Senior Director of Operations, Central China & Greater China
Burj Al Arab, Dubai
Thank you for the beautiful time and the passion with which you delivered your knowledge, and shared, I believe, only a small portion of your incredible experience.
I have been through much training… (Believe me, my path to where I am now, was not an easy one), Still, I can hardly remember, training or better trainers or coaches that had your energy and passion for what you stand for and what you wanted to achieve.
What really amazed me is that, while most of the people (probably unconsciously) are doing things to show how big and amazing they are, you were unselfishly giving yourself and modestly proved that the biggest of us, humans, are always in service of others.
You have probably reached the stadium in your life, that many will always dream of, when you've understood that the greatest enjoyment in life is in giving…not in receiving.
Daniela Bogdanoska, Concierge Guest Relations Manager
Albion Plantations, Mauritius
Since 2009, When Wayne first introduced Club Med to Professional Butler training, Wayne created the true essence of what it is to be a Butler, we have tried other trainers, but we have always gone back to Wayne.
The Butlers who Wayne trained, retained his teachings over many years and you can see the difference between the Butlers teams who Wayne has trained and those who have had different trainers.
We have recommended Wayne to work Globally for Club Med Luxury Arm.
Sunil Koosul, Club Med Group HR Team

Thank you very much for a wonderful coaching session with some of our young stars.
I think we have achieved the goal we have set your course was an eye opener and sense of service awareness.
