ISNA 2022 Virtual Pocket Experience

10

It is so easy to allow the daily grind of working in the kitchen to distract your focus and we can overlook obstacles that make our days more difficult. If there has ever been a time when we need our days to be less stressful, it is now. As a former school nutrition manager, Ervin shares from his experience, different ways to approach barriers created by people and by processes that make it difficult to be as productive as possible. Sometimes the solution is right in front of us and it only takes a minor adjustment to experience greater peace of mind.

Thank you
