Reinvention with Intention

If there is one topic that connects all of us in a post 2020 world... it's the common denominator of reinvention...

For many of us, whether it's a season of life change, professional shift or MANAGING the pre/post pandemic world, we are all TRANSITIONING in some area of our life or business. Some of that movement has required us to reinvent ourselves, our situation or our vision/future with new eyes and new methods of purpose and power while tweaking our passion along the way. I help business and individual brands walk through this process with ease. Drawing from your own experiences, we rediscover and reimagine the next season of your life or business with
INTENTIONALITY AND ACTION.

OPERATIONS &
EDUCATION

when you combine a love language with passion and purpose... then sprinkle in a ton of functionality and operational excellence... you have a recipe for success.

One of my greatest joys and career privileges has been launching or bringing to life several world-class educational operations models. Whether it's launching a new program from scratch, breathing new life into traditional models or pioneering a thirty million dollar multi-unit project it's been my pleasure to birth and grow new ways of seeing and experiencing culinary & hospitality education operations to fruition, sustainability and success.

Are you looking to put a spin on the ol' mundane rhythm of developing your team?
Well, look no further... I have a recipe for you!

Friends, there's nothing more painful than sitting in a sterile room listening to a "suit coat or skirt" yakety yak about the latest model or paradigm shift in professional development.
I have also suffered through this archetype for years and my disdain is apparent. no offense to the ancestors who have gone before us... bless them... this is not your grandma's pro-development cream.

My approach takes into account the sensory, experiential, tactile, kinesthetic and energetic capacities of the human experience and transforms topics such as:

Into conversations and transformations you can sink you teeth into! If this sounds like a trip to italy to you then give me a shout. My team and I can customize a world-class experience around any topic or idea you have to bring the world of gastronomy into your organization. Who's hungry for more?

HOSPITALITY

If hospitality could be classified as a love language then sign me up! Over the past couple of decades, I've been marinating in some of the most beautiful and poignant hospitality projects imaginable.

My love for hospitality stretches well beyond the traditional classroom and specifics of industry classification. To me, it's a state of mind and heart. If you are looking to amp up your brand, organization or business to represent the "Spirit of Hospitality" a little better, then I have a recipe for you!

CULINARY ARTS

If there is one hat that feels like home more than all the rest... it would be my toque. Culinary arts has and always will be my main passion. it's the fuel that powered my creativity and drive for many years.

Whether it's training, program development, ideation, menu design & testing, or presentation & concept development... I can help! My work in program and curriculum development, accreditation and certification as well as classical culinary foundations and implementation could be the pièce de résistance you are looking for!

Prices Vary Based on Participation and Project

Food and Team-building go together like biscuits and gravy or peas and carrots. There's nothing more fun than taking the principles and precepts from the leadership and professional development world and applying them in the kitchen.

This multi-faceted approach to team development takes place in the kitchen, boardroom or learning space and is fully immersive! We cook, create, problem-solve, communicate, time-manage and collaborate while still having fun along the way. Then, as we sit down and enjoy the fruit of our labor, we break down the nuances of the team dynamics and create a strategic SWOT analysis to implement into the next season of the team's goals and growth. It's an experience like no other!

"Our team enjoyed every minute of Chef Poe’s team-building and creative intelligence content. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she presents the material in a way that’s relatable and encourages everyone to participate and connect. Our time with her in the kitchen afterward was our group’s favorite team development activity in years, and we are already planning future events with Chef Poe because everyone had such a great time!"

FOOD MEDIA & BRANDING

Consultancy available on a referral basis

A Major "primal section" (ha, chef talk)... of my life was working as a food stylist and food media consultant for several major brands. Specifically, I had the great pleasure of working for the incredible Ree Drummond and her brand "The Pioneer Woman". We met through home-school friends and shared a love of "bloody meat and Béarnaise", butterflies and babies. This was the night we met and she snapped pics of my (now 13 year old) lilly poe for her blog. a few weeks later, I was her "right hand Whoa-man" for the Bobby Flay Throw-down... and the rest is history. We worked together for over five years and I got to experience so many wonderful projects and passions under her brand belt. This season of my life birthed many beautiful opportunities and it was an epoch of my life that was busy, challenging and extremely rewarding!

Working with Ree spurred many other opportunities to serve multiple brands, talents and projects. During this season, I had the pleasure of filming 152 Food Network episodes, shooting 4 cookbooks and leading countless media projects.
I also completed my master's degree, had two more babies, opened a bed & breakfast. ultimately, I ended up returning to education full-time to serve my alma mater
Oklahoma State University.

But, my love for Ree & food media has never changed. I learned so much during those years. I also duplicated myself a bit and encouraged many of my former students to pursue careers in this industry. If you or your team are looking for referrals in this area, please reach out. I no longer actively work in this segment of the industry,
but I know many fabulous people who do!
