conference 2006 Summary Policy into Practice

conference 2006 Appetite for Success

conference 2006 “What I have found is the way the program helps people grow themselves rather than training them on how to cook - Megan can already do that. In helping people to grow personally, you can improve their self confidence, their ability to relate to others and in turn they enjoy their job more and improve their own lifestyle. It is something that is very difficult to teach in the workplace, but it is very beneficial to the workplace if it can be achieved. It is the other half of what learning is all about. The program is definitely working and I have seen a difference in the first 6 months." Chris Wilksch – Executive Chef – Vine Inn, Nurioopta Employer for Megan Ziersch – 2006 Program Paricipant 24 July 2006 Appetite for Success has been a great support network through fellow participants, mentors and program managers. It has given me a lot of contacts through the industry that would have taken years in normal circumstances. The program itself has given me more confidence in my work place and I and my employer and mentor have noticed a great difference in the first 6 months of starting. It has given me confidence to believe that I can be a leader of the future. I have also recommended on two occasions for others to join the program next year. This is a good opportunity to study further in your field and gain extra qualifications and knowledge. Looking forward to the next two and half years!!!
