Dave Rogers challenges the way organisations respond when things don’t go to plan – and why getting it right matters more than ever. Dave, known as The Business Explorer, is an award-winning business consultant, author and TEDx Speaker.

Drawing on lessons from the hospitality industry, he explains how great businesses spot friction early, own their mistakes, and actively learn from feedback to create better experiences.

Inspired by Black Box Thinking, Dave explores how airlines use near-misses and failures to improve systems, and contrasts this with more defensive cultures in other sectors, including healthcare. The result? Powerful insights into how transparency, learning, and accountability shape outcomes for customers, employees, and entire ecosystems.

Property management businesses are leaving serious money and loyalty on the table by being reactive instead of proactive. Hermione Gardner explains exactly how to fix it. Hermione is the no-fluff business and mindset coach behind Sidekick, a growth partner built specifically for property management entrepreneurs. With 20-plus years in real estate, she’s seen the stress, the overload, and the missed opportunities up close, then turned that experience into practical coaching, training, and a mastermind community for PM business owners.

Hermione breaks down how to grow a rent roll with consultative conversations, consistent lead generation, and systems that stop teams burning out. She outlines why great property managers aren’t automatically great business owners, and what skills need to level up fast: sales confidence, financials, leadership, and scalable processes.
