Working in a kitchen demands team work, working to exacting standards and the ability to work under pressure and in real time. This is a prefect environment to highlight team work and team leadership skills for any business, with the added incentive of delivering your own feast at the end of the session!
Not only is this fun it is also an excellent way to illustrate critical and key teamwork skills in practice.
We can recommend this experience, for example, as a team recognition reward as well as a team building incentive in a fun and unique environment that also helps all those that attend understand more about themselves and their colleagues NB
Bespoke team building or team leadership focussed course can be devised if required.

What is it?
Our courses are aimed at teams who need to work better together. It can also be a fun experience for established teams to reinforce the team bonds that bring success.
Our internationally experienced HR professionals outline the aims and objectives of the session, detailing the team leadership and/or team skills and development objectives of each session.
We wrap up at the end over team prepared food to highlight the lessons learned and takeaways from the experience.
Sessions can be tailored to specific team needs, or can focus on practised team success skills that we know are key to team success.
