At a young age living on a farm, I learned the importance of having a bias towards action and a sense of urgency because agricultural commodity prices and the weather changed all the time. No rest. No waiting around. Impatient. learning patience. ⁠
⁠
⁠
⁠
Here's how I improved my patience...And, I hope it helps you! ⁠
1| Humbling myself to others, keeping my arrogance in check. ⁠
2| Improving listening skills, honoring others' ideas. ⁠
3| Holding on offering solutions too early, letting others offer first. ⁠
4| Understanding what sets off impatience, focusing on the goal. ⁠
⁠
Patience pays off in the long run. Just like building your career in the food industry, it takes time and effort to establish your credibility, reliability, and integrity. Keep pushing forward and trust the process. ⁠

Growing and evolving personally and professionally is a process of choices. ⁠
⁠
You have the power to direct you mind and choose. Empowerment happens when we realize our actions and reactions are choices. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
Three questions inform your actions from those choices. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
1. Start with why are you choosing a particular career or job in the food industry?⁠ ⁠
⁠
2. How will you develop yourself in your career and / job?⁠ ⁠
⁠
3. What’s one positive thing you do now with your career choices?⁠
⁠
Change + Challenge = Growth Opportunity ⁠
⁠
Think about the opportunities you’ve been offered while working in the food industry. How do they inform where you want to go?⁠

When I first entered the food industry, I thought my technical skills in food science and human nutrition would be enough to lead projects and teams.⁠
⁠
It was clear to me early my career and even in the middle of it that I would need to evolve and re-imagine my leadership skills, envisioning I would help and serve others. ⁠
⁠
With patience and lots of practice, I honed and refined my leadership skills. ⁠
And, you can too! I want deliver you to the open door of your food career dreams. ⁠

To own something means to declare that it belongs to you. ⁠
⁠
Once you become an owner then you can be responsible for what you do with it. ⁠
⁠
Responsibility is awesome when you become an owner of everything good and that you are on your way to cultivating the most powerful of all human qualities the ability to respond. ⁠
⁠
Once I accepted that everything in my life was the result of the choices I make today tomorrow and now I became empowered to be the creator of my experiences ultimately you are an owner embrace ownership and create your future. ⁠

Abraham Lincoln said, "You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today." This is another way of saying, "You own your food career."⁠
⁠
You are the creator of everything that you experience and no one has any say over what comes into your life without your permission. ⁠
⁠
You create create the life you choose. How you perceive the world and respond to events creates your reality. You are the owner of your life and everything in it. ⁠
⁠
Life is about creating yourself and your circumstances. Not by magically making things appear through positive or wishful thinking but with a mindset that starts with “I am the source.” ⁠
⁠
Ownership means taking responsibility for your actions and serving others. It's exercising your ability to make good career choices for yourself. ⁠
