In this week’s episode of The Oh For Food’s Sake podcast, we reflect on the emotional and commercial impact of crisis situations in the food industry, highlighting the conflicting priorities between food safety and commercial concerns.
We emphasise the importance of self-awareness in recognising our reaction to crisis situations and share personal experiences of finding moments of self-awareness and rest amidst high-stress situations.
We discuss the benefits of mindfulness, self-awareness, and the value of reflection in developing emotional intelligence and handling crisis management situations effectively.
We discuss the significance of practising emotional self-awareness and suggest incorporating this into training and mock recall exercises in the food industry.
