René Siegel 🙋🏻‍♀️’s Post

Re-sharing this post from my friend, René Siegel 🙋🏻♀️, for two big reasons: First, I had a call this morning with someone who "accidentally" stumbled into their career. They went to school for music (Jazz, specifically), and as they neared graduation, began to really confront the fact that it's hard work to make a living in music. To help bridge the gap, they took a night shift customer support role. As time went on there, a colleague noticed that this person was doing more than just answering phones.. they'd been able to do a variety of things on their computer (a dummy terminal of the time) that many other folks never did. The colleague said, in essence: "I notice that you're able to do much more with that computer than most. Any interest in joining my team? You can keep your night shift role, but focus on operations and continue learning more about computers and programing." Long story short: this individual went on to build an enviable career across engineering, product management, and business development. And all because someone "noticed." I still remember when (a very long time ago 🤣), René noticed something about me. I had shared one of my first "official" resumes and cover letters with her as I was nearing my college graduation, and I had taken some liberties on the cover letter specifically. Not sure how it would be received, I remember so vividly Rene telling me it was one of the most authentic cover letters she'd ever read. Her noticing that detail meant the world to me and was one of the earliest signs for me that perhaps story telling could be a meaningful part of my career. Fast forward to today: I believe in my core that stories are one of the most powerful tools we can all use to get where we want to be. Who will you notice today? And more importantly, what will you do about it?

"Do you know why cooks cook?" "Cooks cook to nurture people." This chef speaks of cooking as an act of nurturing: nurturing oneself, the team, the guests, even the farmers, fishermen, and gardeners who bring forth the ingredients. Every day is an opportunity to make just a small effort, to be just a little better than the day before. Those tiny, consistent acts compound over the years, building a legacy—not just of skill and technique but of love, care, and impact. He says, "We are here today because of those who came before us, and we carry forward their legacy through the simple yet profound act of nurturing." This is the Noble Purpose that transforms cooking from a task into a profound profession. It elevates the ordinary act of preparing a meal into something far more meaningful—a way to nurture, to serve, to love. Imagine if every task, every action in our lives, was viewed through this lens of service to a Noble Purpose. Suddenly, the mundane becomes magic. The everyday transforms into the extraordinary. Work becomes worship. Whatever our role or profession, if we align it to serve a Noble Purpose, the mundane becomes magical, and the routine becomes divine. ✨ When we approach our daily tasks—whether leading a team, writing an email, or crafting a product—with serving the Noble Purpose, we transcend the ordinary. We find deeper meaning, joy, and fulfillment in every action. Find your Noble Purpose, and watch how it elevates every effort, every day, every moment. Because when aligned to a Noble Purpose, we don’t just work— We create. We nurture. We inspire. We bring magic into the world. 😎 #NoblePurpose #Inspiration #Leadership #LifeLessons GINPI (Global Inspiration and Noble Purpose Institute)

A lesson in communication from Fogo de Chão!!!!!🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️ Recently, I visited Fogo de Chão, a Brazilian steakhouse known for its unique dining concept. At the restaurant waiters circulate with a variety of meats.🍗🍖🥩🍖🍗🍖🥩 As the meal progressed, I soon felt overwhelmed by the constant offerings of food being brought around. It took a reminder from a friend—“Flip your card to red”🔴and they will stop bringing you food…. My card was flip on green🟢 which communicated to the servers I wanted more food. This experience was a stark reminder of the importance of being clear with communication. Just as I used the card to manage the flow of food, we can apply similar principles to our daily interactions. ✅ Let’s say you’re planning a family gathering and someone asks you to host it at your home, but you’re already overwhelmed with other responsibilities. You can clearly state…… “I love spending time with the family, however I can’t host this time around. Can we find another location or perhaps someone else can host? ✅Lets say your manager keeps assigning you tasks even though you’re already handling a high workload. You could say, “I’m currently at capacity with my current task and I want to maintain the quality of my work. Could we discuss priorities or adjust deadlines? This shows you’re open to work but need to manage your current responsibilities effectively. How do you ensure clear communication in busy or overwhelming situations? #professionalspeaker #lifecoach #leadership #growthmindset #nfl Leave you comments below⬇️⬇️

Confidence stems from this clarity of purpose and identity. When we know who we are as chefs and what we bring to the table, We exude confidence in our cooking. It enables us to approach each dish with conviction, Knowing that we are creating something authentic to ourselves. 🙏 #privatechef #chef #confidence #clarity #purpose #motivation

I can relate to this analogy. What do you see on the menu?

Are you a menu item or ingredient person? In life and career, the difference truly lies in how we perceive our options. Imagine walking into a restaurant and only seeing a limited menu. You're forced to choose from what's presented, whether it fully satisfies your appetite or not. But what if instead of a menu, you saw all the ingredients laid out before you? Eggs, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, bacon, sausage, butter... Suddenly, the possibilities go from a simple omelet to whatever you want, the options expand exponentially. You can craft a meal that perfectly suits your tastes and desires, even if it's not a preconceived menu item. Likewise, viewing life as a list of ingredients rather than a set menu opens up a world of possibilities. It liberates us from constraints and allows us to create our own unique experiences and paths. So, I ask you: What ingredients are presented to you in your life and career? And what masterpiece do you wish to create with them? Embrace the abundance of choices and craft a life that fulfills your deepest aspirations. The difference truly does make all the difference. 🌟 #TakeCharge #UnleashPotential #LifeAndCareerCoach #executive #leadership #speaker #international #CHRO #DethraSaid

Mise en place means "putting in place or gathering" It refers to the organization and discipline of a good chef. A solid sales discovery call demands the same organization and discipline.
