My guest today worked for Club Med from 1994 to 1998. His first season was in Club Med Ixtapa as a Petit Club G.O. During his time in Club Med, he was also a Circus, Sailing, Windsurfing, Waterski, and Ski Instructor. He was a pole vaulter and nationally ranked springboard diver in high school, and he has a very famous cousin. From Fort Collins, Colorado but now living in Florida, please help me welcome, Dan Bittle! Dan graduated from Arizona State University with a BS in Exercise Science/Physical Education, and it was a postcard from Club Med sent to him by a friend that started Dan on his Club Med journey. Dan worked in the Club Med resorts of Sandpiper, Copper Mountain, Sonora Bay, Punta Cana, Eleuthera, and Cancun. Dan is a 90s G.O., so he comes with a lot of stories and I hope you are ready!

Mon invitée aujourd'hui est Amandine Allain, qui a travaillé en tant qu'assistante aux ressources humaines pour le Club Med de 2022 à 2024. Sa première saison s'est déroulée au Club Med Turks and Caicos. Avant de rejoindre le Club Med, Amandine a étudié l'administration des affaires à HEC Montréal, l'une des meilleures écoles de commerce de la ville. Amandine est liée au Club Med depuis l'âge de quatre ans et parle couramment l'anglais, le français et l'espagnol. À l'origine, ses parents avaient prévu l'appeler Audrey, mais ils ont changé d'avis après sa naissance, une histoire que nous approfondirons au cours de notre conversation. Originaire de Lyon en France, le parcours d'Amandine au Club Med l'a également conduite à Charlevoix, au Québec, pour la saison 2023-2024. Elle partagera avec nous ce qu'est la transition d'un G.M. à un G.O. Au départ, Amandine aspirait à travailler dans les ressources humaines au siège de Lyon, mais on lui a conseillé d'acquérir une expérience pratique dans les villages afin de mieux comprendre la vie dans les stations. Nous parlerons de ses saisons en détail et elle nous racontera de nombreuses anecdotes sur son expérience. L'histoire d'Amandine vient boucler la boucle, et vous devrez écouter pour savoir pourquoi !
