Jamie’s Kitchen:
Fifteen lessons on Leadership
Fifteen lessons on Teamwork

These two training programmes are designed to help those taking part understand and apply the lessons from Jamie Oliver’s project to turn a group of unemployed young people into chefs.

Leadership: leading the way; showing them how; believing in them; dealing with whatever the project threw at him; adapting to different situations and learning from what happened as the project developed

Teamwork: understanding the stages that all teams go through as they learn to work together - forming, storming, norming and performing; knowing what to do as they progress from stage to stage - getting it straight, getting on board, getting stuck in and getting better.

Jamie’s School Dinners:
Managing Change
Living with Change

These two training programmes are designed to help those taking part understand and apply the lessons from Jamie Oliver’s project to revolutionise the quality of school meals.

Managing change: the 4Ps - Passion (we must believe in the changes we want to implement); People (we must recruit enthusiasts, identify and work with gate-keepers and tackle the resisters); Planning (learning by piloting changes; being systematic about roll-out); Perseverance (change isn’t easy - you have to stick at it!)

Living with change: how people react to change - the 4Rs. First we Reject it (‘You must be joking!’); then we Resist it (‘We don’t have the money or the skiils or the time. We’ve tried that - didn’t work’); then we Reflect on it (‘I can see the benefits - it might be possible I suppose’); then we Resolve it (obstacles become challenges to overcome; we focus on the future, not the past)

Faking it!
From faking it to making it: one-to-one coaching in the real world

This training programme is based on the episode of Faking It! in which a young classical musician is coached to become a dance music DJ in just four weeks. Those taking part in the programme will learn where to start - start at the end, get to know the learner and plan what to do - and how to do it - take it one step at a time, work together and keep it positive.
