BIO

Wendy Cole began her hospitality career in the catering office of a five-star iconic hotel in Toronto, Canada, eventually settling in the United States. She rose to the top of her industry through innovation, vision, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Over three decades, Wendy has lived and worked around the world, leading sales, marketing, and operational strategies for iconic hotel and resort brands, including Ritz-Carlton, Marriott Hotels, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Almond Resorts, Wyndham Hotels,, Hotel Indigo and IHG, and high-end boutique properties like Secret Bay, Fort Young Hotel, Stillpoint Lodge Alaska, Jade Mountain St. Lucia and Spice Island Beach Resort Grenada.

​

Her unique ability to connect the dots across global markets, align teams, and inspire forward-thinking solutions has resulted in billions of dollars in revenue for hotel brands and independent hotel owners and destinations, award-winning campaigns, and long-term business transformations. Wendy played a key role in out-of-the-box strategy to build regional opportunities in destinations, secured new airline routes through government collaboration, and built supportive cultures among hotel owners and teams through hands-on coaching and team building.

​

In 2010, she launched Hospitality Growth Solutions to help hospitality and travel brands sharpen their competitive edge. Her consulting work has since expanded beyond hotels and tourism into entertainment, health care, fitness, and advertising—always focused on helping clients grow sustainably while staying true to their brand story.

​

Throughout her global career, Wendy was fortunate to live and travel in vibrant destinations and experience the beauty of diverse cultures and people. This experience sparked her curiosity about human behavior, emotional resilience, and what truly supports mental wellness. She realized that mental clarity and well-being were just as critical in hospitality leadership as they were for individuals navigating career pivots, launching side hustles, or trying to manage the daily pressures of life. This awareness deepened her passion for helping others find peace and purpose through the same powerful mindset shifts and wellness tools she used in her own journey.

​

Behind her success is a woman who has lived what she teaches. After decades of global travel and high-stakes business, Wendy faced a personal health crisis. True to form, she approached it with curiosity and tenacity—ultimately healing her body and mind, losing 90 pounds, and earning multiple certifications in coaching, psychology, and wellness. Today, she integrates those lessons into her work, offering a holistic, grounded approach that blends business with well-being.

​

Wendy is now giving back through positive mind-shift coaching, researching, helping others overcome generational conditioning, reframing old beliefs, and finding clarity through intentional action. She is especially passionate about guiding entrepreneurs, those pivoting careers and life opportunities, creatives, and executives to uncover their purpose and restore inner peace through sustainable lifestyle changes and mindset transformation.

​

When she's not advising clients, you’ll find Wendy behind a camera, writing her next book, walking a quiet beach, or experimenting with new healthy recipes in her kitchen. She passionately advocates for meaningful living, authentic connection, and conscious business.

​

Wendy is available for speaking engagements, guest blogging, private coaching, and special projects focused on personal reinvention, hospitality excellence, and wellness leadership.
