History

Established in 2010.

Let’s Get Cooking! was established to fill the need for a fun, hands-​on and enjoyable approach to management team-​building, skill training and leadership development. The founders passionately believe that management team development and leadership training is not a spectator sport, it has to be experienced.

This is not a workshop or a team meeting — It’s an experience designed to harness the collective wisdom, shared, fun experience and expertise of the management team. It is conducted in a safe and confidential learning environment away from the worksite so that people can stretch outside their comfort zone.

Everyone takes away some new management and cooking skills in the process. Afterwards, through a facilitated discussion, we talk about what happened and how we can use the experience to enable the workplace experience. Our participants say to us «Why aren’t our corporate teams more like this?».
