Risk/Reward: The Entrepreneur’s R&R- CookandDate

September 15th, 2010 in Uncategorized comment No Comments »

Take one professional or celebrity chef in a professional kitchen; mix with abundant fresh food ingredients, free flowing cocktails and wine; add equal parts men and women and let them marinate for the evening.  This is Cristina Mucciardi’s recipe for CookandDate.  And several times a month since 2008, she’s been turning out great results in Montreal.  By next month (October 2010), she’ll be doing the same in Toronto and New York.

CookandDate has been covered frequently in the Montreal media since its inception so you can read about it in the traditional media for concept details. Or better still, if you are single, sign up for an event and become a member. 

Cristina says, “Press is the one thing that has come really easily”. That’s because Cristina is an  entrepreneur who’s  found a sweet spot in the market.  She created a concept that lines up precisely with her own sweet spot as a people connector and foodie.  Growing up in a Montreal Italian family, she is  passionate about gathering people around great food. And when it comes to CookandDate, her mission is to help men and women find their soul mates.   That she takes it seriously is an understatement.

CookandDate defies classification as solely a cooking school, a dating service or a social club. That’s because it is all of these things combined in one. It’s way more than this too.  As a by product of opening CookandDate, many opportunities arose for private parties (i.e. showers, birthday parties) and corporate events.  In response, Cristina is splitting the company into two banners: CookandDate and CookandEtc.  The later leaves her plenty of room to expand her offerings in response to the market.

Like many entrepreneurs I have interviewed, Cristina’s biggest failure/ biggest learning experience was getting burned with exorbitant web development costs early on. She says it was due to her lack of clarity on what she needed initially and her naiveté about IT.  She’s fixed that now and while she’ll never be a techie, she knows who to work with and how to manage a project to keep a lid on costs.

Her new website will launch this week in sync with a special celebrity CookandDate hosted by Chuck Hughes of Chuck’s Day Off and Garde Manger fame.  The new site’s database (3000+ and growing) allows those registered to view all CookandDate members and to see upcoming events.  Those who attend an event get chatting privileges with all other members. 

The upcoming openings in Toronto and New York keep Cristina awake a night simply because unlike Montreal, she doesn’t know the cities as well.  While she will be present at all events, she won’t be living full-time in those cities to get a deep understanding of the culture. Cristina says,

I don’t know whether I need to run events at 9 p.m. in New York because they all work late but I will learn quickly!

This woman is smart and while she doesn’t like to fail, she will be nimble and adjust her concept to meet the needs of the promising markets in Toronto and New York.

When asked what she needs most right now, she says, “Access to large databases”. This could come from partnerships with companies that have a similar clientele.

It occurs to me as I write that I could talk to her about a CookandCoach!  A couple of years ago I gave away a “coaching and chocolate chip cooking baking lesson” at a Christmas service exchange party I co-hosted. The recipient seemed to relish the combo so why not?  It would be a like CookandDate meets Coach Buffet.  It could fit under her CookandEtc banner, couldn’t it? 

Well, I might be grasping here but Cristina is not. She’s got a formula that works and a niche that is all her own.  It’s a nice place to be.

Business Experiments in the Test Kitchen of Life- Part II

February 10th, 2010 in Uncategorized comment No Comments »

Tags: , , , , , ,

This past weekend Tanya and I created what I’ve dubbed our Business Experiments in the Test Kitchen of Life Challenge in which we gave ourselves $50 each to buy food in secret which we would then combine to cook up a menu and meal together.  

Tanya bought: I bought:
Morbier cheese Chocolate with pink peppercorns
Mussels Oatmeal crisps
Red chilli peppers French country farm sausage
Frisée lettuce Cashews
Speck bacon Dates
Papaya Dried pineapple
Dried big ear mushrooms Mango ginger Stilton
tomatillos Green onions
  Cilantro
  Blood oranges
  Pink grapefruit
  Papaya raisin chutney
  Limes

 

I share the ingredient list simply to show you the choices we made and what we had to work with.  It was like Christmas morning as we unveiled our lot; we were both impressed by the diversity of choices and the potential for the meal. Interestingly, our first take at a menu was a very safe pass. It was easy and predictable to group the oranges, grapefruit and limes as a great light dessert  to accompany a bite of chocolate and to decide that the dates could be stuffed with the Stilton etc. 

Quickly though, we realized we weren’t actually integrating our two sets of ingredients at all.  So in the true spirit of the challenge, we threw out the idea of ”safe and proven” and moved to true innovation. It was really hard to let go of the idea of making a great tasting meal to focus instead on creating something new. Yikes, did we really have to risk good taste and use $100 worth of groceries just to prove our creativity? Yes, we did. The result of our more wild/ less safe meal was delight and pride:

  • Dates stuffed with Morbier, cashews and speck bacon
  •  Frisee with Mango ginger Stilton, blood oranges, and curry vinaigrette
  • Farmer sausage with pink peppercorn chocolate sauce and mushroom chilli slaw
  • Mussels with papaya chutney, lemon grass, cilantro, and speck bacon
  • Citrus chutney salad with oatmeal crisps

While we aren’t likely to be invited to Iron Chef anytime soon, I think we were punching above our weight this time around.

Before I get all heavy about what I learned from the challenge, let me state emphatically that the day was a blast…fun, fun, fun from start to Fimo finish.  That’s right. As if we hadn’t made enough food in our five courses, we then moved to creating miniature Fimo quesadillas and PEI strawberry shortcake with Tanya’s daughter while Greg did the dishes.

And so, the learnings (according to me):

  • We are most creative when we aren’t attached to a specific outcome
  • When you think you are being creative already, step back, turn up the volume even more and take another pass; there is always room for more innovation
  • When stuck, it is a great time to take an entirely different perspective/ approach that may seem totally unrelated to the problem at hand (i.e. this food challenge for a Coach Buffet problem)
  • In a business partnership, making playing together as important as working together
  • Have a support team; in our case, one husband (procurer of wine, food critique and dishwasher) one five-year old (who is fascinated by food made from Fimo) and two coaches (Tanya and me) who would have driven you crazy with all our “noticing” throughout the day!

And about that espionage….while shopping earlier in the day, one of us had a huge urge to look into the other’s bag while she had stepped away for a few minutes.  If you do this challenge, don’t be suprized if it happens to you too. And if it does: stop yourself, get curious about what is going on for you, and tell on yourself the minute your partner is back. Your trust in each other will grow and you’ll have a good laugh too.

Tanya and I agreed to not read each others’ posts this week to avoid group think as we reflect on the learnings of our challenge.  But if you are really curious about the almost espionage, I am betting her blog will tell you whether it was Ms. Morbier or Ms. Stilton who wanted to peak!

Business Experiments in the Test Kitchen of Life

I am just back from a weekend in Toronto with my dear friend and business partner Tanya (hereto forward known as Tanya with no preamble about how we are both best friends and business partners!).  The working weekend was set up about a week ago when we recognized that some face time was our answer to busting through the Seth Godin style resistance our lizard brains had been mounting at various times over the past month about next steps for our beloved Coach Buffet.

After a couple of successful Coach Buffet events in the fall and some demand for more, we found ourselves royally stuck.  A new approach was the answer, we decided, so we spent several meetings in January designing a new virtual approach. And then, lizard brain again.  It seemed that something was keeping us from moving forward to ship it out and make it happen. 

As part of our weekend plans, we decided it was important to include some fun. We recognize that while all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, it makes us grumpy and grumpier!  As coaches, we also know that inspiration can be found in funny places.  Tanya challenged me to come up with something we could do during our visit that would be so memorable that I would write about it in my 2010 recap of what I am most proud of.  No pressure.

You guessed it.  Once again.  Stuck.  Zut, alors. What could we do?  I help my coaching clients get unstuck on a daily basis and there I was stuck again. 

Luckily, when you have a business partner who is also a coach, you don’t have to stay stuck for long.  Together we brainstormed a challenge for ourselves that very well could make the ranks of things I am most proud of in 2010.

Our challenge:

Make a meal together for Saturday night. Big deal, right?  Hold on.

The rules:

  1. Visit at least 3-4 foodie neighbourhoods in Toronto together
  2. Spend exactly $50 each and not a penny more (Tanya’s husband Greg sprang for the wine)
  3. Split up to make purchases
  4. Make no menu plans in advance
  5. Hide our purchases from each other for the entire day. In other words, NO discussion on what we were each buying independently for our joint meal
  6. Make a full meal together that would include every single ingredient we bought.
  7. Eat every dish.
  8. Insist that Greg eat every dish :)

The results?  A pinch of stuck, a sprinkling of anxiety, heaping scoops of laughter, and five surprizing courses.  All this and some almost espionage too.  You will have to read my next post for that.

2009- What I am most proud of

January 1st, 2010 in Uncategorized comment 4 Comments »

Tags: , , ,

2009 was a challening year for me on many fronts. About 3 weeks ago I sat down to do my own year-end questionnaire to complete the year (a tool I share with my coaching clients).  On first pass, I felt depressed and eager for the year to be done.  However, a few conversations and “reframes” later with ardent and supportive friends had me seeing things from a different perspective.

Here are a few of the things I am most proud of:

  1. My former tenant and a coaching colleague allowed me to set them up on a date last January.  A few days before Christmas I received this photo with the message “Look what you started!”.  They married on November 28th. I beamed when I read the note.  Isn’t this what life is all about?

  1. In May, I became a Certified Professional Co-active Coach (CPCC) and in June an Associate Certified Coach (ACC).  While the titles give me credibility, I am most proud of the learning and the relationships I built with colleagues as far away as England, South Africia and the US during the certification process.  I treasure my colleagues and my new skills and knowledge.
  2. My life to date has had its share of productivity and accomplishments.  Yet this year, certain things I really wanted to create in my life actually failed, hurting me and others too.  Some people fear the word failure.  I no longer do.  It stings. That is for sure and its effects can linger.  AND there are things to be gained from failing too…like opening up to being more vulnerable, learning to ask for help, the opportunity for deeper relationships, and learning to live more comfortably through uncertainty.  The sting of failure. I still don’t like it and I am a heck of a lot better at it than I was a year ago.  I wouldn’t mind if there is less dissappointment in my 2010 but I know I am resilient enough to weather what comes in 2010. And it doesn’t hurt that I have amazing friends and family who support me at every turn.
  3. In 2009 I came home to the maritimes for a number of special occasions: Christmas, my parents 40th wedding anniversary in February, my brother’s 30th birthday (and my 40th!) in July, my sisters’s 35th birthday in October and now Christmas in PEI again.  I am proud I was part of these milestones in my family and so grateful we all want to celebrate together. 
  4. The past year saw my clients courageously tackle big issues in their lives and businesses. My coaching helped them leave mind-numbing jobs that conflicted with their values, find ways to live more peacefully while running high pressure businesses, reframe failure and see beautiful opportunities that lay just on the other side, and deepen relationships with partners (life and business), family, friends, bosses and employees.  Thoughtful Christmas cards from several of them brought quiet smiles of satisfaction to my face.
  5. My own partnership with my friend and colleague Tanya Geisler grew into a full blown business with the launch of Coach Buffet, an idea we started developing in the spring of 2009.  By early December, we had already received coverage in the Globe and Mail.
  6. Coach Buffet created a platform to get to know amazing coaches in Montreal and Toronto. I am proud my coaching network grew from a handful last year to well over 40 coaches.  Almost half of these fine folks joined me in my home on Dec 18th for a Christmas potluck lunch.  Most of us are entrepreneurs/ self employed consultants so it was fun to gather at holiday time to raise a glass of cheer.

If 7 is a lucky number, perhaps it is best to stop the list right here.

I received a beautiful journal of Peter Beard photograhy for Christmas from my friend Claire.  In it, I plan to keep track of how 2010 unfolds. I would love to sit down a year from now and share that a few of my dreams have come true (or at least are further along). And perhaps I will share more about my failures too.  You see, if I fail in 2010, it means I dared to keep going after what I value most.  For me, this is pretty important.

If you would like an electronic copy of my year end questionnaire “Creating Your Bigger Game for 2010″ please comment below and I will be happy to send it to you.

Coach Buffet in Today’s Globe

December 1st, 2009 in Uncategorized comment 2 Comments »

Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

My business partner (and dear friend) Tanya Geisler recently pulled off Coach Buffet Toronto on her own (I was feeling under the weather and couldn’t travel). As if that is not enough, she also managed to get Coach Buffet featured on the front page of the Life Section in today’s Globe and MailCheck out  Speed-interviewing: On your marks, get set – hire!  by Globe writer Zosia Bielski. 

So today we are celebrating being on the front page of the Life section, perhaps the most popular section of our national newspaper. Not bad, Tanya! Coach Buffet is on its way to becoming a household name!

The Globe article speaks of an increasing trend to speed hire (i.e. employees, babysitters, doulas and coaches!). Our inspiration for Coach Buffet came in part from the notion that putting participants and coaches in a room for a high energy evening of coaching would be efficient à la ”speed hiring” AND it was much bigger than that too.

You see, as coaches ourselves, Tanya and I know the power of coaching, even in short 15 min segments. We set out to create Coach Buffet as a way to help coaches offer real coaching to show how they help clients create incredible possibilities in their lives and businesses.

Equally important to us is that Coach Buffet participants (prospective coaching clients) receive real value on the spot, perhaps by getting unstuck in an issue they have been grappling with or by finding a way to look at the situation through a new lens. While we would prefer that participants leave the Coach Buffet event wanting to hire one of the coaches from the buffet, we also see it as a great positive when participants leave feeling inspired and with their eyes opened about the potential of coaching.

Come see firsthand what I am talking about. Our next Coach Buffet Toronto is on Jan 26th and Coach Buffet Montreal is Jan 28th. There is no better time than January to get off to a great start and I feel extremely confident that Coach Buffet can help.

"Ship, then test!" says Guy Kawasaki

Last night I was invited to Challenge Your World as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week (thank you Martin Lessard!). Guy Kawasaki was spectacular as the keynote speaker. For the most part, Guy’s top 10 tips for entrepreneurs make a ton of sense. There are only a couple I dispute. My comments are in italics.

  1. Build what YOU want to use- in other words, skip the market research, make the product or service and get going (see #8 too); build your product/ service with a partner for the lowest cost possible and ensure your partner has talents and skills different than your own.
  2. Pay $0 for tools- WordPress for blogging is a prime example. I was given this sage advice when I started Chandler Coaches and it has served me well to date.
  3. Pay $0 for marketing- there is no longer a need to hire a PR company pre launch or spend $$ on advertising. Agreed and I think you do need to spend a bit of money on a talented graphic artist who can create your company/ product identity…something people will recognize on your website/ blog,  Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. 
  4. Suck down or across (not up!)- the person who will make your product a success is a “nobody” who will tell other “nobodies” how much he loves your product/ service.  Because you don’t know who the nobodies are, you have to reach a lot of people. Forget about sucking up to stars and other influencers. This makes a ton of sense AND if you can find a way to get the Oprah Effect too, that won’t hurt!
  5. Use Twitter and Tweetmeme- there is no better way to reach the masses.  It is brilliant and it is free.
  6. Pay $0 for people-get help from people who are willing to do internships or work for free.  Sure, this might be fine when you are truly a start up with $0 cash flow.  After that, once you are making $, it is not ok, in my opinion, to make $ on someone else’s back.  Share and you will be rewarded. And what about hiring a start up coach like Alain Theriault (who is top of mind as I saw him last night) to help a bit on the front end? And then hire me when you are more established and I will help you grow in the direction you want.
  7. Put everything in “the cloud”- this was for techies re storing data on servers
  8. Ship, then test! Create a product or service that is good enough and get going. Don’t aim for perfection or anything close.  “Cash saves all”.  My partner Tanya Geisler and I recently did this with our new Coach Buffet concept and we got great feedback on our first two events. We couldn’t know what we know today if we had held off to refine the process.
  9. Avoid venture capital (VC)- bootstrap your company for the first few years instead of looking for investors.  When you have a proven product/ service and want to scale up, VC can be an alternative.
  10. Niche thyself- be the unique/ high value player.  And if you are the marketer, ask how you can convince the world you are the unique/ high value player.
  11. Guy’s Bonus: Don’t let the bozos grind you down. In Guy’s world, the dangerous bozos are the rich, famous people whose opinions are given more weight than they should be. Resist the naysayers, especially if they are where they are in business/ life because of luck/circumstances and not intelligence.

Coach Buffet: A Satisfying Soup

October 16th, 2009 in Uncategorized comment 2 Comments »

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Soup is your metaphor for the week, Cancerian.  Symbolically speaking, it’s the key to your personal power and a model for the approach you should take in everything you do. On the most basic level, you might want to eat some soup every day.  That will make potent suggestions to your subconscious mind about how to mix lots of ingredients together so that their value and beauty as a totality are more than the sum of their parts. Not just in the kitchen, but in every area of your life, blend little miscellaneous things into one big interesting thing. 

You might think it flaky for a business coach to start a post with her kooky horoscope.  Not so in my books.  Metaphors like this are rich and are not to be overlooked.

In my case, the biggest soup I have been cooking lately is Coach Buffet. My co-chef is Tanya Geisler.  We hosted our first ever Coach Buffet in Montreal last night.  And late late, after everything was wrapped up, with our mouths yawning and our eyes half closing, we read evaluation after evaluation. The verdict: Coach Buffet #1 was a resounding success.

The recipe:

Creativity to dream a vision the guts and drive to make it happen

A business partnership and coaching every step of the way

12 great Montreal life and business coaches who formed the “Coach Buffet”

Participants (professional and business owners) who, as early adopters, showed up fully…hungry for coaching and possibility

Friends and family who supported us through our first event (i.e. for registration, time keeping, photography/ design, spreading the word, access to venue and encouragement)

Openness to the miscellaneous things that will make this “soup” better and better and better

Back to the horoscope. I haven’t been eating soup daily.  Frankly because I like making it for others far more than I enjoy eating it myself.  Coach Buffet was this for me.  We made the metaphorical soup and while others feasted, we were nourished.

Now, metaphors aside. We are building a scalable business franchise model. You will hear more about Coach Buffet.

Coach Buffet Toronto takes place on Tuesday, November 17th. Register online.

They are Chinese and Indian many other ethnicities.  You often find them in hotels and on cruise ships.  They are often overflowing with plenty, and some would say they are wasteful. Many people overeat at them.  What are THEY?

guests-hotel-buffet_~HTL106Buffets, of course.  They sound like a great idea when you are really hungry and you often regret it very quickly after when you have eaten too much and realize the food all tasted the same.

Why, you might ask, am I discussing the merits of a buffet in a blog focussed on coaching for small business owners and professionals?  Some of you know the answer because I have been talking about it incessantly for a number of months now! Yep. Coach Buffet. It’s a new kind of buffet. Coaching is on the menu and we are serving possibility. 

CoachBuffetMy partner Tanya Geisler and I are launching Coach Buffet as a new format for coaching (and a new business venture for us) to show professionals and business owners the power of coaching and to help prospective clients and coaches find a great coaching match in a very short time.

So if you will be in the Montreal area on Thursday evening (Oct 15th) and want to deal with a real life or business issue in a fun and meaningful evening out, join us at the buffet!  Our line up of Montreal coaches—whose flavours range from start up business coaching to intuitive life coaching–will leave you feeling full of possibility and no regrets.

What's a Coach Buffet Anyway?

September 8th, 2009 in Uncategorized comment No Comments »

Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

I have been dropping hints all summer about a new coaching concept my friend and colleague Tanya Geisler and I have been developing.  So it is with great joy and anticipation that I let the proverbial cat out of the bag. The “cat” is a concept called Coach Buffet and it’s coming soon to a city near you…well, if you live in Montreal or Toronto, Canada, that is. 

On October 15th, we will host Coach Buffet in Montreal followed by Coach Buffet Toronto on November 17th.  I could leave you to research it it on your own but I am far too enthused to let you go so quickly. 

CoachBuffetThe bottom-line version is that Coach Buffet is an innovative event that is designed to bring a dozen powerful life and business coaches together with participants for meaningful one-on-one coaching conversations in a social evening format.

Coach Buffet is ideal for professionals and business owners who feel stuck in some aspect of business, career or life in general and who are looking for possibilities.

For Montreal, our line up of coaches is extraordinary (by mid September, you can read all their bios on the site) and our venue is exquisite.  I can assure you that powerful coaching will take place and strong relationships will form. As we say at Coach Buffet:

We are serving possibility….Are you hungry??
