The power of an independent and proactive team eating frogs every day. Just came back yesterday from 1 week of full disconnection and i'm fully energized to accelerate more and proactively eat more frogs every day (yes took time to read "Eat The Frog" by Brian Tracy, on the way back from holiday😁). Overall, my first day self reflection is on the power of a team encouraged to eat frogs every day. I've been a big fan of defining a short list of 2 to 3 big needle mover priorities and focusing moving them every single day which is basically the concept of eat the frog. In the last 2years, i started encouraging my team to do the same (2 to 3 frogs not more) and focused my energy on making sure i help them getting frogs (needle mover project opportunity) by advocating relentlessly with leadership for my team and spending myself more time thinking and looking at frogs. I then taught my team to be proactive and independent leaders moving fast and raising hands in case of support needed or blockers they can't remove themselves. It's now paying off Big Big time and i'm just amazed by the progress done by the team while i was off for one week. Yesterday, i reviewed (i) progress done by the FR team in FBA and told them they are great and going in the right direction, (ii) a good first draft recommendation on even better EU FBA ways of working (it's already great but sky is the limit for EU FBA), (iii) a proposal on how to identify, prioritize and address new selection opportunity on high asp, (iv) a pre 3Y plan on a Big untapped opportunity, (v) a preliminary very interesting thougth on how to focus account management on biggest value creation opportunity and (vi) 2 to the point call out, one on FR 3P performance in Q1 (my boss is out so he gave me the opportunity to proxy him !) and one on EU ESM. A normal day of a manager of Frog eaters i guess 😁. Definitively, "Waouh my team is Amazing" will be my call out from this Return from holiday. Looking forward to eating more frogs and continuously helping my team to be proactively and independently seeking to eat more frogs !

I've had the recipe for these cookies for more than 11 years. And I didn't make them until yesterday 🍪 I first had them at a B&B in North Carolina during a family vacation. I thought they were one of the best cookies I have ever tasted (chewy chocolate gingerbread, by the way). Why wait all this time? Lots of reasons. 👩🍳 I’m not much of a baker, but more of a cook. 😩 We have a small family, and cookies often get stale before they’re all eaten. 🧼 The recipe has lots of steps and clean up. 🤯 Bottom line: I wasn’t ready. There’s a time for everything, and maybe that time is not right now. If I had a nagging feeling that I was postponing something really important, I would have made them sooner. But I can get good cookies a lot of places, anytime. My priorities were elsewhere. Is there something that you’ve been putting off? Are you feeling guilty about it? Maybe it’s time to let go and see if that thing is really as important as you think it is. There is freedom in discernment. It helps you focus on what’s true for you now. Are the cookies good? Yes, they’re delicious. When will I make them again? Whenever I'm ready. #priorities #mindfulleadership #focus #recipeforsuccess

Transform your life from the inside out simply through awareness. If it’s food you want to change, do a food audit. Everyday write down what you eat, that will bring awareness and change follows. Same with money, work, relationships, anything you want to transform. Bring awareness to it and the shift follows with more ease. #Awareness #ChangeFromWithin #MindsetShift

My Uncle Ted always said you should make a resolution you know you can keep. For example, his resolution one year… was to eat more pork. Thanks to the local barbecue joint down the street from his house, he succeeded in meeting his goal. Uncle Ted was joking, of course. BUT I’d like to take the spirit of Uncle Ted’s advice and encourage you to choose a goal this year that’s both attainable AND honors your body and soul. If you’d like to figure out a rhythm of meal planning this year, I have a resource to help. Join our FREE Meal Planning workshop next Thursday: https://lnkd.in/gK6nzrwK Whatever goal you choose, I hope you find one which aligns with your values and moves you closer to the person you’re meant to be. Happy goal setting, Dietitian Ann #newyearsresolutions #newyearsdiets #newyearnewyou #goalsettingtips #mealplanningworkshop #intuitiveeatingcoach #nutritionadvice #nutritionfirst

We've all been there - standing at the crossroads of temptation and willpower. Do we indulge in that delicious pizza slice or choose the healthier salad? 🤔 It's a classic example of hyperbolic discounting. Our brains are hardwired to prioritize immediate rewards (like the taste of pizza) over long-term benefits (like a healthier body). This cognitive bias doesn't just affect our food choices. It creeps into many aspects of our lives: 🛍️ Splurging on a sale item vs. saving for a rainy day 📱 Scrolling social media vs. reading a book 🍿 Binge-watching Netflix vs. hitting the gym Marketers and brands are masters at exploiting this bias. They bombard us with "limited-time offers" and "instant rewards" that are hard to resist. But here's the thing: every small choice we make adds up. By consistently choosing long-term rewards, we can achieve our goals and live more fulfilling lives. So the next time you're faced with the pizza vs. salad dilemma, remember that your future self will thank you for choosing wisely. 💪 It's not about being perfect - it's about making more mindful choices, one day at a time. #InstantGratification #DelayedRewards #MindfulChoices #ConsumerBehavior #RetailStrategies #ImpulseBuying

Eating together as a family is super important! 🍽️ When we sit down and eat with our family, it can help everyone, especially if someone is a picky eater. Here's why it's great and some tips if your kids usually don't eat with you. 1. Learning by Watching: Kids learn by seeing what you do. If they see you eating different foods, they might want to try them too! 2. Talking Time: Eating together gives us time to talk. You can chat about food, like where it comes from or why it's good for you. This can make kids more interested in trying it. 3. Less Stress: When everyone is relaxed and eating, there's less worry about trying new foods. It feels like a fun family time, not a food test! What if your kids don't want to eat with you? Here are some ideas: - Make it fun: Have theme nights or let them help pick the menu. - No pressure: Don't worry if they don't eat everything. Being there is what counts. - Start small: Even one meal a week together is a great start. Build from there. Eating together isn't just about food; it's about spending time with each other. It can turn "yuck!" into "yum!" and help picky eaters be more open to trying new things. Ready to transform mealtime from a battlefield into a peaceful gathering? 🍽️✨ Dive into my book, "Mealtime Mindset," now available on Amazon! It's packed with insights, strategies, and heartwarming advice on turning picky eaters into food explorers. 🚀 Discover how to change your child's mindset about food with simple, practical steps that make a big difference. Whether it’s turning "I don’t like it" into "I’ll try a bite" or making family meals the highlight of your day, "Mealtime Mindset" is your go-to guide. 📘 #PickyEaters #HealthyEating #FoodFun #LearningToEat #FamilyTime #EatTogether #TryNewFoods #HappyMeals #FoodAdventures #PickyEaterTips #PickyEaters #MealtimeMindset #HappyEating #FamilyMeals #PickyEatersNoMore #HealthyEatingForKids #FoodExplorers #ParentingWin #FamilyDinner #KidsNutrition #AmazonFinds

Want to accomplish more in your everyday life? You must learn how to set SMART goals. Each goal must be obtainable and measured by a specific outcome. No goal is to small or unworthy. To help with changing your eating habits, try setting a goal for your meals. Set a weekly meal plan that the same day each week you are going to make the same meal. For example Taco Tuesday is popular. It will help with your grocery shopping and develop a habit at the same time. Make sure your goals are deliverable and written out. Now go conquer your goals. #mondaymotivation #coaching #mondaymorninginspiration #goalsetting #focus #goals #Smartgoals

You know those times you push away from the table and think wow I ate waaay too much! ⁠ ⁠ Perhaps the food just tasted so good you didn't want to stop. Or perhaps you weren't really paying all that much attention to what you were eating - you know, those times you reach for the next chip out of the bowl and realize the bowl is empty?⁠ ⁠ Well, it's amazing just how much we can eat when we go for it! ⁠ ⁠ Researchers from the University of Bath had a number of young men eat Domino's pizza until they were just comfortably full. At that point, the average eater ate about 1600 calories worth of pizza. A pretty good punch of energy for one meal.⁠ ⁠ But if you think that's a lot of food, on another day participants were asked to eat "all you can eat" and even encouraged to eat until they weren't physically able to eat another bite (you might be familiar with that feeling...). This time, the average intake was 3100 calories - almost twice as much as when they were paying attention to achieving comfortably full.⁠ ⁠ Moral of the story? Pay attention when you're eating! We can overeat so easily, particularly hyper-palatable foods like pizza.⁠ ⁠ If you want to read more about the study, here is the link: https://lnkd.in/gue89sia ⁠ BUT, if I've convinced you that find comfortably full or what I call 'satisfied' or '80% full', you might want to read a blog post I published earlier this year to help you with just that: https://lnkd.in/g8AwcCVj ⁠ #healthcoaching #findingsatisfied #80%full #mindset #mindfuleating

Have you resolved to "Cook More" in 2024? Here are three transformative tips from EatWell chef Adriana Katekawa: 🍎SMART Goals: Turn resolutions into Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART) goals. Instead of a vague commitment like "I am going to cook more this year," set a specific goal like cooking a new recipe every Monday between 6-7 pm. 🥑Learn from Mistakes: Embrace setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth. Successful resolution-keepers experience setbacks an average of 14 times. Don't be discouraged by occasional slip-ups; they're part of the process. 🥦Recognize Trade-offs: Before committing to change, acknowledge the gains from new habits and what might be sacrificed. Planning ahead helps manage expectations and navigate changes more smoothly. As we enter the new year, let's make #resolutions work for us. EatWell is here to support your journey towards positive change, growth, and delicious homemade meals. Cheers to a year of success and transformation! #foodaccess #foodinsecurity #medicallytailoredmeals #healthequity #nutritionequity #foodismedicine #valuebasedcare #culinarymedicine #foodstartups #futureoffood #healthinnovation #foodinnovation
