How Is Eating Lunch Good For Your Professional Development?

Issue 96

In a slight change to my normal articles, I want to introduce the importance of your diet and how this impacts your learning and development.

We often talk to our delegates about the impact food can have on their focus, and how food and nutrition can affect your work performance. As a business we have shifted away from the traditional sweets and biscuits on a training table to fruit and healthy snacks.

At this point I would love to dive into the details about macro nutrients and good fats, but that’s not my expertise. Instead, I am going to encourage you to grab whatever you like (thinking healthy) and bring it along to our bitesize (see what we did there) lunch and learn sessions. You bring the food, and we will help nourish and feed your brain.

We have created a menu (ahem) of free to all sessions designed to share some of our learning development topics in a short and easy to access format. We call it our “Lunch and Learn for Success” series.

Why did we create our lunch and learn sessions?

Well, I don’t know about your diary, but mine is fuller than I am at an average all you can eat buffet. It’s difficult to squeeze anything else in. So, to help your busy diary we created really short (45 minute plus Q&A time), learning opportunities that are open to all.

In a restaurant you sometimes want to try a new dish, but you don’t know if you will like it, so you might not want to fully commit. Our taster sessions allow you to explore a new topic or subject or a familiar topic in a new and different way.

Like a ready meal sometimes you want to grab something quick rather than a full three course dinner.

Think of our approach like a really great tasting menu, it gives you an opportunity to try lots of new things.

So, what’s on the menu?

Adventurous Leadership

Health and Wellbeing

Managing Change in a Volatile World

Equality Diversity and Inclusion

AI and Technology in the Client Journey

You can choose to join any of our monthly sessions, and you can even suggest topics that you and your team would like to see. Take control of what you consume and how you nourish your brain as well as your body.

Join us on our launch session on the 8th of November with follow up session on the second Wednesday of every month from 13.00 to 14.00.

If you can’t make our lunch date, don’t worry you can reheat it and watch on catch up – simply email us to get access to the recorded session on our eLearning platform.

I can’t help your diet, counting calories, or advise you on what mix of foods are best for you, but we can help nourish your brain. Surely that’s food for thought (I’ll leave quietly and thank you for making it all through the bad puns, I know some were very hard to swallow).

To get your seat at the table for our lunch and learn series, speak to Nevil: nevil@newresults.co.uk, connect with him on LinkedIn, visit our website www.newresults.co.uk, or find the New Results events page on Eventbrite.
