If you are looking to your members to help you decide what direction to take your community or what to put in your classroom, there's an effective way of getting the information from them and a way that just ends with crickets. To learn the exact steps you need to take to get meaningful information to make this important decision, check out the standard tier of the "Your Best Course" Build Lab. At the bottom of the classroom in the Build Lab, you will find the "Validate Your Best Course" mini-course that takes you through the proven process of completing an environmental scan - the 7 steps to conducting an informative needs assessment and the 5 steps to conducting a useful market analysis. After going through these steps, you will be confident about the direction you need to take your group and clear about what needs to go in your classroom.

Most CEOs and business owners I know are masters at prioritizing: deadlines, deliverables, growth, staff, clients… but somehow the relationship that fuels all of it ends up living off scraps. Here’s something most high performers never consider: Your connection at home is a performance advantage. A supported nervous system makes you sharper, steadier, more creative, and infinitely more resilient. (Yes — there’s decades of research behind this.) And you don’t need long talks or “big moments” to rebuild that foundation. Most of the time, connection starts in the smallest place: A meal. A shared sensory moment. A feeling of “we’re doing this together.” Food is one of the fastest ways to regulate the body, soften stress, and feel close again. Not because of the recipe — but because of the ritual. When couples cook together — even something simple — they slow down. They laugh. They cooperate. They touch. They remember they’re a team. And that tiny moment? It carries into everything else you do. If you’ve been running on empty, or your relationship has slipped into “functional roommate” mode… start with something small this week. 🥖 Chop vegetables together. 🍷 Share a glass of wine while you stir the pot. 💬 Ask one question you’ve never asked before. 🤝 Touch hands on purpose. Connection doesn’t require hours. It requires intention. And if the idea of reconnecting through food lights something up in you… you should join my free Skool community, Chef’s Kiss. It’s where I teach simple daily rituals, host live cooking sessions, and help couples build connection that lasts — all while planting dreams of future European escapes (Italy + France retreats are coming 👀). If your relationship deserves to feel nourished again — come join us. 👉 Chef’s Kiss💋 The Relationship Chef. Not everyone’s flavour — and that’s the point. Turn up the heat.
