Coaching for Culinary & Hospitality Development
We have built a successful history working with chefs and restaurateurs, managers, owners, and executive teams in restaurant and hospitality businesses, even family businesses, to achieve the same level of service within their organizations as they strive to provide their customers.

 

Executive Coaching / Leadership Development:

Providing competent coaching for key employees is recognized as one of the smartest business investments. Our consultants are experts in consulting psychology, trusted advising, assessment and development planning. We coach owners, partnerships and executive teams to instill leadership processes, communication and behaviors that will maximize their organization’s performance.

Results of Coaching & Consultation Include:

  • Retention of key employees through the support of growth in their current and expanded roles.

  • Fewer obstacles to individual and group performance thereby enhancing staff relationships and teamwork.

  • Enhanced self-awareness through the utilization of multi-rater 360-degree feedback and other assessments providing avenues for confidential feedback from peers, supervisors, subordinates and customers.

  • Improved communication, especially in areas that may be difficult, yet crucial.

  • Enhanced creativity and initiative.

  • Prevention and management of conflict with a focus on growth oriented problem solving.

  • Skill building in areas critical to leadership at all levels, such as influence, mentoring, and team building.

  • Identification and navigation through roadblocks to business goals and successful experiences.

  • Excellence in change management.

  • Strategies for successful personal and professional stress management.

The process of our coaching and consultation starts with a conversation about your expectations and the outcome you desire. A variety of assessment tools may be used to enhance the discovery and exploratory process to highlight areas of needed and wanted development. A personalized development plan is then formalized which may include a focus on competency building, coaching for performance, or trusted advising.

Coaching for Partnerships & Professional Organizations

Sometimes the idea of a partnership turns out to be rather different from the reality. Our consultants assist partnerships and professional organizations in recalling their reasons for being together, in the assessment of their current realities, and in looking to the future to devise new strategies for working together more successfully. Partnership coaching is like insurance that you collect on immediately.

Team Building & Development

Poor communication patterns and simple misunderstandings can lead to ineffectiveness, dissatisfaction and loss of productivity. Many teams do not inherently know how to address these issues. Sometimes an objective facilitator is needed to help such teams identify their needs and unlock roadblocks. Our consultants help groups identify, learn and practice positive communication, proactive listening, clarity in messaging and an understanding of different communication styles. This, in turn provides a common ground to de-escalate conflicts, resolve disagreements, and form strategies to enhance understanding and cooperation.

Family Business Advising

Many wine and hospitality businesses are successful family enterprises. However, meeting the needs of the individuals involved, family as a whole, and the business is a challenge. Our consultants are certified family business advisors who understand the complexities of the interface between work roles, family relationships, and individual needs and goals. We help family businesses achieve value and vision identification, leadership competency in the next generation, and facilitation of family meetings and retreats.
