The Brigade
(bri·gade, noun: a kitchen team in which every member has a defined role, working together as one)Strong teams. Stronger connections.
Something changes when people gather around food.
Conversations come easier. Titles matter less. Colleagues who sit in separate meetings all week find themselves side by side, working toward the same plate.
Food creates a natural bridge between people. The Brigade uses it to build the skills that let teams function and leaders thrive, at every level.
For any team that works together, serves others or leads people.
“Our Goodwill Team building exercise was a huge success! I enjoyed getting to know my colleagues while learning the proper way to hold a knife, make the best infused olive oil, and prepare a delicious meal using fresh, local ingredients.”
