Amit Puri
Complex Director of HR
The Westin and Le Meridien Bahrain City Center

 “We approached Melkart 8 months ago because we wanted to invest in strengthening our leadership team... Due to some external changes and the a number of changes in the senior leadership of the hotel, our team had become disparate, fragmented and lacked a common bond. A new approach was needed and I can seriously say that after working with Melkart, our team is much more united, cohesive  and also operates with a much higher level of trust. The journey was an energizing and professionally stimulating experience that has had a lasting impact on all of us. Melkart has an innate quality to connect with any personality in a way that is genuine, comfortable and engaging. He has a huge energy that is very infectious and can really  stimulate a team to want to do better, and that coupled with a great insight into team behavior ensures any work you do with Melkart leaves a lasting legacy with the team. It is a great pleasure to work with MRT and I consider it to be a journey we are both committed to,  as we will continue to work together in the future to combine our energies to evolve and develop the management team to be the best they possibly can be.

“I would absolutely recommend to any GM who is looking to rejuvenate their team to invest in the Jolt of engagement sessions. Melkart is utterly engaging and has the ability to create simple paradigm shifts for associates at all levels to really focus their thoughts on what their purpose is rather than their job role. Energetic, passionate with the ability to dig deep into the teams aspirations and dreams and how they can really make a difference to the guest journey. The sessions with the managers were equally as rewarding, providing the leaders 10 simple processes to become inspiring leaders and ensure we achieve the best results. I could see an immediate impact, which could be clearly visualized, within our guest service matrix. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!”
Anna Collier

“Melkart's Jolt of Engagement session has totally transformed the way my team operates, thinks, breaths hospitality. These 4 days, not only provided on the spot training and the passion to live the philosophy of our brand, but also left us with very structured and effective action plans to continue the work long after Melkart left. He did his homework, learnt the core of our Brand's DNA and personalized his session to cater exactly to what was required to uplift the resort's service and mindset. I cannot thank Melkart enough for what he delivered to the team in these four days, totally catapulting us to the top of our game and inspiring us to always leave with a story to tell.”

“MRT Consulting and Melkart Rouhana appeared on my radar when I was searching for a training professional who could deliver an engaging and relevant workshop for the senior executive team within Katara Hospitality.  He came highly recommended with great reviews from colleagues who had learned about his magic earlier than I. From the very first meeting I knew that our collaboration together was going to be a success – his energy, charisma and drive were exactly the right combination of what we were looking for.  I had every faith that he would produce and deliver an outstanding, fully engaging, effective workshop – he did that and more! Working with Melkart over a couple of months on this project I have found him to be inspiring, motivating and an exciting person to be around – his energy and commitment to training is infectious.  To say I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop is an understatement – being able to observe Melkart in action was definitely a learning experience that I will value.  Now the training event is over I don’t see it as the end of our partnership together – simply the beginning of many more exciting adventures ahead! Thank you Melkart for a truly beneficial event that touched everyone on many levels.”

No words can express my profound gratitude to him. His messages are a grand feast to me and many more like me I guess.
