The Garzón School’s Post

We believe in fostering connections that extend beyond the office walls. Through our immersive experience at the Tertúlia Algarvia, we gained invaluable insights into the intersection of food and teamwork. Beyond professional alliances, we connected on a personal level, sharing stories, laughter, and moments of joy. It's not just about transactions; it's about creating relationships. Just like in the kitchen, effective communication is essential in the workplace. We learned how to coordinate tasks, share ideas, and ensure everyone is on the same page, resulting in smoother workflows and better outcomes. In the kitchen, things don't always go according to plan. We learn to adapt on the fly, improvise when needed, and overcome challenges together. Cooking allowed us to unleash our creativity. In our professional endeavors, thinking outside the box and embracing innovation can lead to groundbreaking solutions and ideas. Food brings people together from different backgrounds and cultures. By embracing diversity within team, we enrich our perspectives, foster inclusivity, and create a more vibrant and dynamic work environment. In sharing our journey at Tertúlia Algarvia, we aim to inspire other teams to explore the transformative power of combining food and teamwork. #tertuliaalgarvia #B16thecreativeclan #teambuilding

🥡🥡🥡🥡🥡Take-away #5 from seasons 1 & 2 of The Bear🐻: learning is everything.   Multiple characters had learning arcs in the series, but Tina's story really stands out.   After a bumpy start to their relationship in season 1, Sydney becomes a mentor to Tina, showing her how to up her game. Once Tina gets praise for executing a new potato 🥔 recipe, she becomes a voracious learner👩🏻🎓, delighting in new knowledge--including the magic of Bar Keeper's Friend. ("Science, baby!" IYKYK)   At the start of season 2, Syndey surprises Tina by asking her to train to take on the role of Sous Chef👩🏻🍳 and sends her to culinary school.   Tina throws herself into her role as student, beaming with pride when her instructor tells her that she has perfectly cut a piece of fish 🐟. Throughout season 2, we watch Tina transform from cook to chef. Learning truly changes her life.💫   I learn my way into things. Learning has allowed me to pivot my career multiple times, including a shift into owning Learning & Development for mid-stage startups to global brands.   If you want to talk about how I can help create the learning strategies for your organization, reach out to me at beth@bethmessich.com or here on LinkedIn.   #bethmessichcoachingandconsulting #coaching #learninganddevelopment #learning #growthmindset #learningstrategy  #pivot  #hulu

My Hostel Journey: Creativity in the Kitchen and the Start of Leadership In those early days, work became my anchor. By the 6th standard, I was part of the “BHOJAN SAMITI” a team dedicated to serving meals to fellow students, from breakfast to dinner, and even the snacks in between. But for me, it wasn’t just about the work. I saw an opportunity to add a personal touch, to express myself in small ways. No one asked me to, but I started designing the lunchboxes with creativity adding little details, and playing around with how the food was presented. It was my way of making something routine feel special. To my surprise, people noticed. My mentors saw the sincerity and enthusiasm I brought to every task. They appreciated the extra effort I put in, and my peers loved the touch of creativity. Beyond serving meals, I took on more responsibility. Some students weren’t coming to lunch regularly, and the hostel decided to track attendance. I stepped up to handle this, marking who showed up and personally visiting the rooms of those who didn’t. It became my job to encourage them to come for meals, ensuring no one missed out. This level of care and attention didn’t just boost my confidence it gave me a sense of purpose. For two years, I let my work speak for itself. I stayed calm and focused and poured my energy into making every meal something memorable. But then came the real test. After 7th standard, my mentors saw something in me they trusted me with a bigger role. They asked me to lead a team. I had never been in a leadership position before, and it felt like I was stepping into completely uncharted territory. I was nervous, unsure if I could rise to the challenge. But that’s where my story really begins to change. Stay tuned. The journey’s about to get interesting. #hosteljourney #PersonalGrowth #MentorshipMatters #TakingResponsibility

2 weeks, 4 new baristas to train. A challenging yet rewarding experience. A few things I have learnt over this period 👇 Challenges Time Constraints The most significant challenge is the limited time frame. Two weeks is a short period to cover coffee knowledge, technical skills, customer service, and operational procedures. Working within a well organised plan helps. Individual Learning Paces Each trainee has a unique learning style and pace. Some may grasp the concepts quickly, while others might need more time and repetition. Balancing the needs of all four baristas without slowing down the overall progress is key. Maintaining Quality and Consistency Ensuring that all trainees achieve a high standard of quality and consistency in their coffee-making skills. This involves repeated practice, detailed feedback, and coaching where required. Rewards Building a Strong Team Successfully training a group of baristas fosters a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. The shared experience of learning and growing together helps in building a cohesive and supportive team, which is essential for a positive working environment. Personal Satisfaction Watching the trainees progress from new to confident baristas is rewarding. Their growth reflects the effectiveness of the training offered and the effort put into training them. The rewards far outweigh any challenges. The satisfaction of seeing a well-prepared team, the improvement in service quality, and the positive impact on the operations of the business make it worthwhile. With careful planning, dedication, and a supportive approach, the training period can be transformed into a highly productive and fulfilling experience for both the trainer and the trainees. #maestro #barista #coffee #coffeeshop #training
