Leadership lessons from a bowl of oatmeal.   Habits can often become our identities, as executive coach Ken Downer discovered after eating oatmeal every week with a group of his friends as he trained for a race, only to cause consternation around the table when he ordered a different breakfast in celebration of finishing the race -- a reaction that taught him the importance of choosing how we want to be seen as leaders and developing habits to support that. "The oatmeal habit taught me that the more we do those things, the more we become the kinds of people who do those things, and the easier it becomes to keep doing them," Downer writes.       Put it into practice: In the eyes of his breakfast companions, Downer had become the kind of person who eats oatmeal, leading him to reflect on how we should be intentional about what actions become habitual. "And if social support doesn't come around, there may be some value in changing the environment so that we can tap into the powers of encouragement from others." #leadership

It's in the area that you are in all the time. The abundant regular ingredients are the things that we should craft and that takes us to a discussion of culinary maturity.  Some items, like perfectly ripe in-season tomatoes, are better left handled less. Expensive prime cuts of meat, speak for themselves.  But, winter and the darker season lead us to more humble ingredients that are ripe with opportunities to expand and discover, to push and evolve. How often do you take something that's in front of you daily (an onion, a potato, etc) and dig deeper so you can understand the ingredient at a different level? When you do that, you level up yourself as a chef.  Growth is never found in the comfort zone.
