How Chocolate Can Increase Passion and Engagement in Your Workplace
Springing from his long-standing interest in creating more inspiring workplaces, Rob Chipman recently helped produce Chocolate: Passion at Work. The film documents how passion drove a Utah man to become one of the best artisan chocolate-makers in the world. After watching the film, you'll actually be able to savor several varieties of fine chocolate. We'll then explore how chocolate-making can be a powerful metaphor for workplace improvement and how passions is a key to enabling greater innovation, excellence, productivity, and perseverance. Along the way, you will learn how to be more passionate in your own role and spread passion throughout your organization.
