Okay, fine... we accept that it is necessary to chat about the things we don't want to talk about. After all, we want to strive and many things in life are just hard. Breaking the mold to go from abyss to prosperity is a difficult and long journey. Let's go over some of common scenarios that push us into this mode of rejection, and support each other to avoid them in the future. Send us a text Connect with me!

Uhhh no, I'm rejecting the notion of having to write anything. You know what we are going to talk about. See you in the kitchen. Send us a text Connect with me! Leave a comment on Instagram Join the subreddit community Email me at thepodcast@thecorpkitchen.com Thanks for Listening!

We are setting some time away to chat about lunch one more time. Apologies in advanced if you take 30 minutes or less for lunch as we are going to run over a little bit. We have to talk about a few things to prep you for a great lunch. Once we are well fed, we'll be ready to take on the topic for next week! Send us a text Connect with me!

It's time for a break, can someone say lunch please! One of the most important meetings you can take is with food and possible company during the work hours. Everyone should be taking advantage of this opportunity to address their hungry for physical and mental substance. When we talked about personal health, we didn't indulge enough on this portion, now we can chew it thoroughly and properly. Send us a text Connect with me!

The symmetry is nice, three branches of US Government and three branches of politics you have to be aware of in Corporate America. We could have taken the path of relating each Corporate politics branch to a US Government branch but that's the boring route. Food is better, and with that we can have tortillas at the table and chat about some real life experiences we had regarding each branch. It really all comes down to whether or not you are properly competing. Send us a text Connect wi...

Sorry about the hiatus but we are back! Let's just jump right into the grease with a touchy topic. We aren't going to deep fry this subject too much, rather get to a light golden brown. It is very hard to ignore the political climate in the world and Corporate America when you get into your career. So let's break it down like our United States Government to three branches to simplify the thought. Then you can decide, are you going with Team Corn or Team Flour. Send us a text Connect wit...

I hope you know what C Cookies means because that's not going to show up as an audit finding. It's best / worst thing for you for real. It's actually really surprising how much trust we put into them. I'll tell you at the table about a time they helped me and we'll chat more about just how critical they are. We all will have a compliance story before our Corporate is done. Send us a text Connect with me! Leave a comment on Instagram Join the subreddit community Email me at thepodcast...

Alright, who is double checking this kitchen to make sure we didn't severely mess up. Not the quality control department, the other team that ensures we didn't royally miss a law or regulation. Let's focus on them today. When we talk the kitchen it's the FDA, but at your place of work it could be a different regulatory body. Regardless we need really good people to keep us compliant, otherwise the consequences could be.... let's talk in the kitchen. Send us a text Connect with me! Leav...

So are we ready to do some real work now, or should we go over communication one more time? Inputs and Outputs can get confusing, but once you truly hear this, it will all make sense. You are on a great journey with endless possibilities, it's going to be required that you can communicate. So let's dive into this one more time at the table. Send us a text Connect with me!

This is why we are all here, right? Listening to my output, hopefully meeting the requirements to your desired inputs to give you an opportunity to gain knowledge to help with your throughput. One of the pillars to success is communication. You learn how to do this well and it makes you better but not the best. Send us a text Connect with me!

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 Join the subreddit community Email...

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! Leave a comment on Instagram Joi...

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 users. 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 ...

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 about us, 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 Join the subreddit community Email me at thepodcast@thecorpkit...

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 remember 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 ...

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!
