It is a 2–3-day team training and development programme that combines internationally recognised DISC analysis, mapping of team collaboration bottlenecks, and practical role-play in a real kitchen environment.
Through shared cooking, natural “real-life” situations emerge — time pressure, unexpected changes, role distribution, and process management. These moments clearly highlight the team’s strengths, collaboration skills, and areas for development.

Team training for organisations that need effective collaboration

Leadership Kitchen is suitable for organisations where work involves a high level of responsibility and a need for fast, precise, and operational collaboration — in fields related to people, healthcare, animals, food, or other service sectors.
The programme develops the team’s:

• communication
• role allocation
• taking responsibility
• leadership skills
• stress resilience
• operational collaboration
• risk management

In a safe yet intensive learning environment, participants develop behavioural patterns that carry over into their everyday work environment.
