BENEFITS OF CORPORATE COOKING CLASSES
|
LEARNING THROUGH EXPERIENCE
Many business leaders know the secret to achieving success begins with attempting to accomplish something firsthand. Throwing your employees into a kitchen and asking them to prepare a meal will seem easy to some and extremely challenging to others. For those without prior cooking knowledge, it’s a great way to teach them a critical skill – the ability to learn through experience. While our master chefs offer guidance, they also present intriguing curveballs to your company’s teams. Your employees will not only learn how to cook a meal but how to ask for help and how to adapt to their situation in real time to achieve success. The best cook usually assumes leadership of a team, and even then, they know their success is dependent on the people working alongside them. They must trust their teammates to accomplish the tasks they assign them, and their teammates must learn how to take direction and even ask for help! When it comes to teamwork and success, there’s a first time for everything. |
