In this episode, Jeannette talks to Vishal Sinha who she worked alongside at TUI. While there he learned one of his guiding principles from Jeannette – FIOFO, what that is might surprise you. He was the CEO of CWT and TUI, in India and filled several senior roles at BA. Vishal has just set up his own business – We The Chefs.
A business he started almost by accident during the pandemic. With Jeannette he talks about leading a team through adversity, understanding customers, building confidence, staying positive, communicating effectively, and making decisions with limited information.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Many home cooks want to be able to sell their food and make a living from their passion.
We The Cooks take care of the marketing and distribution which enables the chefs to focus on the cooking.
Your business needs to be compliant and sustainable.
Setting up processes and keeping them up to date equips you to grow fast.
Sometimes it is necessary to make decisions before you have all the relevant information to hand.
Don’t be afraid of asking your team questions when you don’t understand something.
Be honest with your team. If you don’t tell them the truth you erode the confidence they have in you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘The idea was to bring people and cultural nuances closer. ´
‘What we are saying is focus on the cooking, we take all of the admin work away.’
‘For me, it was always about moving out of my comfort zone and trying out something new.’
‘It is better to do something rather than just thinking about it. ´
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
