Leadership Hospitality & Development

Leadership off-sites are notorious for strict agendas, some lame activity, a talking head standing at a white board for hours, and then loads of drinks afterward. At Eat.Drink.Advance., I keep the best of that format and replace the worst with a smart agenda that is woven into the various courses and cocktails that an intimate 5 hour dinner party delivers. Go ahead. Imagine that. It works and it's awesome.

Your marketing materials

You have a LinkedIn profile, a resume, and maybe even a cover letter. You know they need a lot of work, but you put it off because, well, you don't exactly know what to do! An Eat.Drink.Advance. marketing material workshop looks like this: a bunch of people just like you sitting in a great local restaurant, eating and drinking and collaborating on ways to build out compelling profiles, results-focused resumes, and soulful cover letters. Your workshop leader will facilitate the process so that you leave with a blueprint to marketing material success and also a room full of potential new contacts!

Client dinner host

What is the real purpose of taking your client out to dinner when they visit? Do you always meet that objective? I believe it's to maximize dinner with your client, build trust and collaboration, and walk away with more than just a drained expense account. Imagine your host providing not only amazing food and drink, but also perspective, direction, and action items that will help move your partnership forward. 

Getting unstuck

We've all been there: we were full-steam ahead, then we weren't. We got stuck in some role or situation where we just couldn't see a path out. This is where someone needs to ask us loads of great questions, listen really well, reflect back their experienced perspectives, and help us move forward. Boom. That's what happens with an Eat.Drink.Advance. coach. The icing on the cake is that there very well may be icing on a cake right in front of you while all of this is happening!

Confidence-building

Fear. It's brutal. It digs at our confidence and impedes progress of every kind. At Eat.Drink.Advance., I believe that skill and strength identification and articulation, along with understanding how to tell your story in a compelling way, leads to a more confident you! To get there, it takes trust and vulnerability. I believe that carving out space around the dinner table with a good meal and good drink allows for trust and vulnerability to show, leading to growth through coaching and action plans. 

Accountability

It doesn't really get any more important than this. It's one thing to come up with really great ideas and visions for yourself or with your team, but it's a whole other thing to follow through and actually see the vision unfold. At Eat.Drink.Advance., I not only listen closely and help move your vision into action items, but I follow up and celebrate wins with you while creating new plans to overcome any hurdles that got in the way. I can't say it enough - Accountability works.
