COACHING &
​DEVELOPMENT

BLiss hospitality 

Picture
​Bliss Hospitality Talent & Education was created by two millennial hoteliers Bonnie Li and Yahya Shakhshir. Bonnie, a Cornell MBA, has spent all her hospitality career in hotel operations with brands such as Four Seasons, Fairmont and Trump Hotels. Yahya comes from the classic hotelier training of Glion Institute of Higher Education - Switzerland. A hotel manager turned educator, Yahya has excelled in his career in hospitality education. Having developed many curriculums for adult learning, Bliss Hospitality Talent & Education believes that the right combination of education and practical skill training allow one to accelerate in their hospitality career.
 
Bliss launched Opera PMS workshops in 2020. Students learn and practice in the Bliss Hotel Vancouver environment on Opera V5. The Opera PMS workshops not only provided hospitality management students exposure to the most robust PMS system, but they also help build confidence for those who are eager to grow in the hotel sector.
 
By joining BCHA, Bliss is here to offer support to hotels looking to maximize the potential of their hotel property management systems. They offer consulting service for PMS selection and upgrade projects and customize training based on your property operating procedures. Their goal is to cut your training cost to half during pre-opening and PMS upgrades.
