Many ways exist to grow one's food career. Most require personal effort. It's on you to build your credibility, reliability and trustworthiness with others. Without question, if you have food career and/or job ambitions, a willingness to give up time, money and resources for action and progress has to be a part of your mindset. Prioritize what you will and will not sacrifice in your career. ⁠
⁠
Time is a hyper-precious commodity in which you may have to exchange socializing for sleeping, studying and working.⁠
⁠
Opportunities arise requiring travel. Go the extra mile to learn.⁠
⁠
Moving around for a job may provide advancement and incredible leadership and learning experiences.⁠
⁠
An investment in one's education is a solid decision to complement one's personal and employment experiences. It's yours.⁠
⁠
Similar to the other ideas here, seeking a new role and responsibilities and perhaps, taking a small step back in compensation is short- to mid-term way to invest in yourself for growing your food career. ⁠

Researchers at the #University of Minnesota suggests being in nature positively contributes to general well-being. Experiencing nature is associated with calm, peace and restoration. A career and a job requires inspiration, and nature offers it in abundance.⁠
⁠
Almost on a daily basis, even when it's either raining or there's snow on the ground, I take a walk to clear my head, re-establishing peace with myself. Like the picture shown here taken near my home, beauty and quietness present themselves in nature, giving rise to connection, resilience and togetherness. ⁠

Having worked in different jobs and careers, ranging from a farm where I was Iowa-born and raised, to food server to a Fortune 500 company, my ways of working allowed me the honor and privilege to enjoy the world and others around me.⁠
⁠
Sounds fabulous, right? Not always. Truth is there were and are still days when it’s an all-out grind. Experiencing disappointments, frustrations, setbacks, and unmet expectations left and right, thankfully don’t keep me down for long. Persistence day after day makes a difference.⁠
⁠
Rising with resilience means you find a path forward. Act now.⁠
1| What are your positive, small steps you can take to contribute to your success? Even negative results help us learn.⁠
2| What’s one action you do can now? Ask for help. ⁠
3| How do you feel now? What’s your approach to dealing with it?⁠

Draw energy from your resilience...it manifests itself in conviction, tenacity and stick-to-it-ness.⁠

Over the course of three different careers -- academia, business and healthcare--I've created my own success by pursuing what most interested me and where I would have the most impact on people's lives. Of course, in doing this I also performed within the established definitions of success outlined by the organizations that employed me. ⁠
⁠
Success I defined for myself and that aligned with the organization's resulted in harmony at work and stellar outcomes for clients. However, I discovered mismatches between self-defined success and organizational success created chaos and discord within myself. As such, I sought success when and where I could impact people's lives directly with gratitude, resilience, opportunities and wisdom (GROW). I've always needed to GROW to experience success. ⁠

Creativity helps you succeed in both a career and a job. If you've ever solved distinct types of problems, then consider yourself creative. Relying on tried and true solutions from the past may no longer be applicable. Giving yourself permission to let your mind ponder and wander may yield novel and unique solutions to a pressing issue. Take and make time and space for yourself. Ask questions rather than seeking immediate answers.⁠
⁠
What are you stuck on? Remove the literal and figurative barriers.⁠
When did you last engage with nature? Fresh air and sun revive.⁠
How might you break the rules (within reason!) and create new ones?⁠
Where's the diversity of thought to produce quality and quantity of ideas?⁠

Creativity counts as a way of working for career success. Successful people embrace creativity, making connections between usual and unusual events and occurrence to address an opportunity. Thinking creatively contributes to career and job success. ⁠
⁠
The pursuit of novel and unique solutions drives successful people to become better versions of themselves. Setting aside to let your mind wander, extends creative thinking to your efforts to your food career and job. Creativity is reserved for everyone, including you. ⁠
⁠
The top three ways I curate creativity in my food career:⁠
1| Reading biographies and fiction inspires me with new ways to approach challenges and lead others.⁠
2| Walking in a nature setting helps me decompress and think freely about new ideas so I can talk more confidently with colleagues.⁠
3| Dancing ensures I to tap into novel, transferable ways of learning and following (not leading!) with individuals and teams.⁠

How's your level of confidence in your food career? ⁠
Can't. Can. Can do. Ready to go or feeling less than qualified for a project or work in your food career? ⁠
⁠
Rather than overthinking it, question your perception of the activity, event or situation. Ask questions about how you can best respond. ⁠
⁠
Consider the empowering beliefs you can demonstrate, reframing your thoughts with new beliefs to counteract your thinking. Your attitudes and beliefs create the circumstances surrounding your job in the food industry. When you align your beliefs with your intentions, you may be able to move forward more easily. ⁠
⁠
Remember, you can change and influence the outcomes of your food career. How will you take on a 'can do' attitude?⁠

Are you one of the 14.5 million people in the United States employed in the food industry? If so, you’re a part of a multi-million person club, about 10% of the U.S. adult population, ensuring others enjoy food and drink each day. Most likely, you're a part of a team and expected to build relationships with others. ⁠
⁠
As a member of a team, think about your contributions and how you want to thrive on as well as support the group. The team is ultimately in the business of serving others with awesome food and beverage experiences. And, that means connecting, cooperating and collaborating for the clients, customers and patients who enjoy eating experiences because of the team's expertise. ⁠
⁠
If you want to succeed on the team or find it a challenge to work on team, think about:⁠
1| Finding out what you have in common with others;⁠
2| Being a team player with your strengths and talents;⁠
3| Collaborating for the sake of your customers rather than your own needs and⁠
4| Sharing resources; if you have time, then help others. ⁠

⁠
Think of the impossible as, "I'm possible. It's affirmative and positive, the first step to possible. Your actions and thoughts lead you to success. ⁠

Imagine if change didn't exist. We need it to succeed and thrive. With change comes challenges, growth and rewards. ⁠
⁠
After having spent thousands of dollars and years preparing myself to be an academician and researcher, I left my university career. It was scary and I wasn’t sure how I would make a living for myself. ⁠
⁠
Considering my strengths—strong work ethic, bias towards action and accurate, quick decision making, I transitioned to business and industry. The pace of business suited me and I kept learning. To complement my technical credentials, I earned another academic degree. Doing so opened doors to serve the business and its customers as well as professional organizations. Your education is yours forever and it can never be taken away from you. ⁠

Successful people focus on success. At the end of the day and/or week, encourage you to physically write, on paper with a permanent pen (yeah, that’s how to make a commitment to yourself), the three goals you want to achieve the next day and week. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
For some goals, and to keep yourself from becoming distracted with other interesting things, note about how much time you can take with the goal. I’ve had success in challenging myself in this ‘time-boxed’ way this for years. ⁠
⁠
Growing up on a farm taught me the timing importance of ‘living by the weather conditions’. With this mindset in play, I’ve learned to stay focused on priorities and what matters most.⁠
⁠
According to LinkedIn, only 3% of the population sets goals. Simply put, every day presents an opportunity to set and reach goals no matter how big or small.⁠ ⁠
⁠
Call to action:⁠
1| What goals will you set for yourself each day? Small tasks, completed each day, have a big impact in reaching your goals. ⁠
2| How will you make your goals real and make them come to life? If you're not setting goals, what's holding you back? ⁠ ⁠

Integrity is a classical word with a simple meaning of ensuring words match actions. Sounds simple, yet difficult to do consistently. My integrity has been the single most important trait that has carried me through life.⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
Fulfilling promises is evidence of a trustworthy leader. Consistently ensure your actions match your deeds and words. People are watching you all the time. If you’re unable to fulfill a commitment, skip the excuses and proactively explain why and what you will do. Taking the initiative to communicate your thoughts with a plan – a situation and with solutions – shows others you’re dedicated towards driving toward results with good intentions.⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
Call to Many Actions: ⁠
⁠ • How do you demonstrate integrity? ⁠ ⁠
• Why do you feel the need to demonstrate integrity? ⁠ ⁠
• How does it feel to consistently act with integrity?⁠

According to WORDSRATED, the average person speaks about two hours per day, approximately a little over 15,000 words each day. Speaking requires listening on the part of your audience. Therefore, kindly consider what others need so they can respond to you. ⁠
⁠
In addition to the tips already provided before speaking, thinking about your audience and the message is also important for a number of reasons:⁠
⁠
⁠
1.Clarity: It helps you organize your thoughts, leading to clearer communication.⁠
⁠
2. Accuracy: You're more likely to provide correct information when you take time to consider what you know.⁠
⁠
3. Avoiding regret: It reduces the chances of saying something you might later wish you hadn't.⁠
⁠
4. Better relationships: Thoughtful communication can strengthen personal and professional relationships.⁠
⁠
5. Conflict prevention: It can help avoid misunderstandings or unnecessarily heated discussions.⁠
⁠
6. Credibility: Well-considered responses tend to make you appear more knowledgeable and trustworthy.⁠
⁠
