Our kitchen culture gives us a blueprint of how to be and act like a chef. But this is done in a way that stamps out our individuality. This aspect serves a purpose: it ensures that we follow instructions and recipes. And take orders to serve the common good of the team.
But this also means that we can struggle to have a clear vision for our lives. What kind of partner or parent we want to be, what quality of life we aspire to, what values we want to uphold. Even those of us with carefully crafted visions can struggle to turn them into reality. Because it takes consistent effort to do that. After all, we work in a very demanding profession.
The pandemic, as much as it took away from our lives, gave us the opportunity to connect with our visions once again. We did things we missed doing. We made time to connect with others. We took care of ourselves, as well as we could, with the resources we had.
How can we sustain these things when we return to work?
Join me for this 2-hour workshop on the 29th of March. You will learn how you can build that vision you hold for your life – even while working full-time in our industry. This training is open to all Hospitality professionals, although we examine work life balance through the lens of the chef culture. You can reserve your place here.
