The Corporate Kitchen 4q2k1s

Excuse the tardiness, you are truly a valuable knife in my set and I need to spend more time with you. We will sharpen this relationship with more topics, on Time! At this table today is not octopus, sorry to disappoint but it's some truths we have to cover. You know what Work Friends are and what they are not, so what do we do with all these colleagues? Come to the table to chat about it.  Send us a text Connect with me! Leave a comment on Instagram the subreddit community Email me at [email protected] Thanks for Listening!

We are going to circle back to relationships. We started talking advocacy type relationships early with Mentorships, and now we need to discuss another type. That's YOUR FRIENDS, and that's not Work Friends. We'll explain more in the episode but you have so many ingredients available that your kitchen could do anything! Fortunately for you we aren't making just anything, we are making you thrive... so we'll need to key people for this path aka Friends.   Send us a text Connect with me!

To move or NOT To move... that is the question we are attempting to answer here with this week's topic. You should know that we are counting on you to make this decision for YOU. I can't stress enough you have to make the decision while the grease is still hot otherwise we aren't going to be able to cook a good meal to have at the table. There is no limits on where you can go, literally, not a kitchen metaphor this time.  Send us a text Connect with me!

Obviously we love food, which is why this is called the Kitchen instead of like the office. Part of this love has to do with having various culinary experiences all over the world. Everyone does things a little bit differently. Some people salt and pepper their grits, some people use butter, and we don't speak about the sugar s. This experience leads us to making our best and worst list, plus the places we would go to a second time but maybe not a third. Let's chat in the kitchen to talk how career opportunities work the exact same way geographically.  Send us a text Connect with me!

Have we convinced you to take some R&R yet? Vacays do make for some great stories when fully enjoyed. We definitely have a couple vacay stories to share at the table... but this isn't , it's FOR YOU. This is a Corporate 101 Topic because YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE VACATIONS. Don't be that person would gave 40 years to a company but 10 minutes to themselves. We want you to thrive in AND out of the kitchen. Take the reset.  Send us a text Connect with me!

More and More self-care! Another important topic that focuses on keeping you thriving. We have to talk about these times you MUST take for yourself. Good thing you do already or you wouldn't have time to listen to this podcast! If you haven't already, now is a really good time to start to travel.  Send us a text Connect with me!

Peanut Butter Jelly, Peanut Butter Jelly, with a Corporate bat. Hopefully some the kitchen you have taken away that this isn't the most glamorous sandwich. A lot of change comes about with something so simple. We say it so easily but the process is so involved. We have been through both scenarios and will share at the table. Let's merge some ideas in the future!  Send us a text Connect with me! Leave a comment on Instagram the subreddit community Email me at [email protected] Thanks for Listening!

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Ironically, there is usually a celebration when business ventures happen. There is definitely a celebration when a meal venture is made. Everyone likes when their food comes together, and Corporate is no different. Let's  put our apron on and make a simple meal with a very deep meaning.  Send us a text Connect with me!

We are honestly over this week, this meal is just no bueno and although we know it was coming, it doesn't make it any better. At some point you'll experience your company going through a layoff. Lucky for you, we have been through a few and can provide some insight to how these situations play out. It's never something to happy about, but we want you to thrive... at some point you'll need to move forward. Speaking of, let's share some stories at the table so we can more forward from this topic.  Send us a text Connect with me!

Yuck Yuck Yuck to the topic and the food choice. This week is definitely a doozy, but it's something we have to talk about. After all we could always be dismissed from the kitchen whether by someone else or something... we would know though. Ugh, let's just get through this together!  Send us a text Connect with me!

And here we are, finding out what haters truly are. Are you a good or bad one? Did you even think that deeply into it? See it's never about the Cranberry Sauce, it's how we feel about the Cranberry. Once we remove the bias and respect the sauce, we can have more productive conversations. After all, we all want to strive and some constructive will help us get there. Let's talk about some examples at the table today.  Send us a text Connect with me! Leave a comment on Instagram the subreddit community Email me at [email protected] Thanks for Listening!

Yes you read that title correctly, we are talking about those people today. No, this isn't a drill or some reality talk show type script, this is real life and just like that appliance we know still exists in many pantries (I'm talking about you InstaPot), Haters exist in Corporate. It's a little surreal to talk about them logically and with some education... after we spend some time in the kitchen, you'll understand why. So let's have a chat about these really important to people to be aware of!  Send us a text Connect with me!

Whoever said money can't buy happiness clearly hasn't flown Business Class for a 14+ hour flight. Did we do that? Possibly! So come to the table to hear about some of the opportunities Business Travel has brought us. this is all on the company's dime, no need to ask if we deserve it or not. The real question is when is the next trip because we visited a kitchen with  Hexclad pots and pans... and the wallet doesn't want to agree with what the brain wants to identify as normal cooking hardware.  Send us a text Connect with me!

Time for some excitement, not the need food making type, but let's go see someone else's kitchen! How are their countertops, back splash, floors, cabinet colors, and sink size. There is much to learn and see when we leave our own space. It's a big world out there, someone has to explore it... why not you? Especially when the company pays for this exploration.  Send us a text Connect with me! Leave a comment on Instagram the subreddit community Email me at [email protected] Thanks for Listening!

It should come at no surprise that we seek guidance from others to build a meal in this Kitchen. We have work to do for the path of becoming a true Chef and subject matter expert in this kitchen. That doesn't mean we don't experiences to share and that makes table talk so great. It is an unofficial opportunity to receive unintentional consultations. Every experience is an opportunity to learn. We'll share ours, but feel free to share yours with us too!  Send us a text Connect with me!

We aren't perfect by no means at all. Sometimes we need to ask others for help after exhausting the team. Bringing mom or grandma in the kitchen to get that meal just right, the seasoning levels correct... oh how they could just eye ball 3 teaspoons during their soft sprinkle of seasoning. The years of skill building is very remarkable but is the basis of what we seek in our consultations. Let's dive a little deeper into the subject and see what else we learn.  Send us a text Connect with me!

If he says fundamental one more time, I'm going to break the kitchen. Haha lucky we are at the table now and out the kitchen. In all seriousness, these changes get us back to the basics, which we tend to stray away from. We'll use today's episode to level set, really make sure we know the basics of these happenings. Because at the end of the day it's the Shareholders or You and YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHOOSE YOURSELF. Keep Thriving!!  Send us a text Connect with me!

Renovating a kitchen, bathroom, or putting a pool in the backyard are all major events in someone's life. It doesn't provide the fundamental change in the lifestyle to make it permanent. Now buying that first house... monumental! There aren't a lot of them in Corporate America but they happened and will continue to in the future. You may have experienced at least one of them. But what do they truly mean for you, and how come the kitchen will never be the same again?  Send us a text Connect with me!

Listen to the sizzle of the steak made to perfection thanks to your input, we can provide you great at the table from the work we did in the kitchen. Inputs and outputs sounds very mechanical but we need to use some basic working parts to learn that at the end of the day, we should be spreading... oh yeah, should save that for the episode. We all struggle with how to properly tell someone the right things at the right time, but since this is Corporate, we are talking about your money... let's get this loop right because I want to see you THRIVE!   Send us a text Connect with me!
