Who says that we all have to sit in a classroom to learn new skills? A cooking environment has proved to be the perfect arena to demonstrate, explore and examine the intricacies of highly effective leadership and how leaders can motivate, inspire and help their team to achieve high performance through improving knowledge and skills. The kitchen provides an alternative environment to many of the outdoor activities often used for the same purpose; providing a unique setting for people to operate in a stressful, high-pressure yet safe environment.

Two Day Hell's Kitchen / Battle of the Chefs (with Trish Davies)
A two day course hosted by Trish Davies & a second chef, which is designed to take students out of their daily working environment by removing their comfort zones and normal operational barriers. Students will be split into competing teams. Day one will comprise the teaching element from the chefs as to kitchen working practices, menu planning, cookery demonstrations, techniques etc. On day two the students will have to sink or swim by themselves. Preparations are overseen by the chefs but the students are left to prepare and organise the kitchen ready for service (preparing and serving a 3 course lunch). The chefs are always on hand to ensure health and safety compliance and to give advice if requested.The emphasis is on team building and working together to overcome unexpected obstacles (which we throw in their path).
A light lunch and beverages are included on both days.
