Recently, our team traded laptops for ladles as we spent the day at The Culinary Center of Kansas City for a team-building event.
Guided by the talented chefs at the Culinary Center, we created a meal toether. There was laughter as we mastered knife skills, teamwork as we timed dishes, and plenty of taste-testing along the way. Each station gave us a chance to step into a different role—whether sautéing, seasoning, or searing—and reminded us of the power of working together toward a shared goal.
The event was more than cooking—it was a chance to slow down, connect, and see each other in a new light. Just like in the kitchen, success in our work depends on communication, trust, and collaboration. This experience reminded us how strong we are when we bring our unique strengths to the table—literally and figuratively.
We left The Culinary Center not only with new cooking skills, but also with deeper connections and a renewed appreciation for our team. And yes—we’re still dreaming about that dessert.
