What It Means to Be a Member



WHY JOIN HOSPITALITY LEADERS CLUB?

In the world of hospitality, leadership can often feel isolating. You’re responsible for the vision, the people, and the experience — all while striving for excellence.

But who’s there to support you, help you grow, and lift you when the journey feels overwhelming?

This is where the Hospitality Leaders Club comes in. It’s not just another network or a group of like-minded individuals. It’s a circle of trust, built on deep care and personalised attention.

I believe in giving every member the maximum value possible, nurturing their success and creating a community that feels like home. The result? You leave each interaction with knowledge, a renewed purpose, and a smile.

As the founder, I pour my heart and soul into ensuring each member feels seen and thrives. I don’t just lead masterminds — I create spaces where you can grow with certainty, challenge your thinking, and access new perspectives. Every detail is carefully crafted, from our bi-monthly peer strategy sessions to live group Q&As and intimate roundtables.

This is a space where you belong, where your growth is my priority, and where excellence is achieved together.

ABOUT US

Hello Hospitality Leaders,
I’m Verónica Sánchez Martín—Employee Experience Specialist and founder of Between Forks and the Hospitality Leaders Club.

I understand what it feels like to lead with a heart in hospitality—to dedicate yourself fully, creating exceptional experiences for others, while quietly wishing for a trusted circle that truly sees you, supports you, and shares your values.

Even in an industry full of people, genuine connection can be rare. That’s precisely why I created the Hospitality Leaders Club—a private, global space where senior hospitality professionals come together with intention.

This isn’t just another network.
It’s a Circle of Trust—a place for those who lead with care and conviction. It’s for people-first professionals who believe in excellence in service and how we treat each other, our teams, and ourselves.

Here, we don’t just talk about business.
We share vision, ideas, encouragement, and the courage to lead more humanely and values-drivenly.

This Club is for those who want to grow, not in isolation but with others who understand the weight and beauty of this calling.

Each week, I pause and ask myself:
“What is the most valuable thing I can offer our members right now?”
And then I offer it—whether it’s a thoughtful introduction, a spark of inspiration, a quiet moment of clarity, or a meaningful conversation.

Because in the Hospitality Leaders Club, you are not just welcomed.
You are seen. You are remembered. You are deeply valued.

Welcome to the Hospitality Leaders Club.
Where leadership is human.
And success is shared.
