​@@OliveOilandGasoline Personally, for me the only thing I had issues with were sometimes the music was too loud to hear you clearly.... Having worn a hearing aid in a kitchen, I think if you try to get complex with mics and stuff it's not going to do all that much to help because it will pick up the engine noise and galley sounds as much or more than it does your voice, and you likely won't have the interaction with crew if you have to mic everyone up. Just try adjusting volume on the music to a slightly lower level overall and dip it down if someone is talking.

That's a tough one. Usually I'm not allowed but maybe next time.

Imagine to work in an environment where you can fired in a blink of an eye? It says everything how the owner values it’s employees. For decades it is scientific proven that a save an inspiring work environment (save in the meaning of being valued and recognised as an important employee) thrive employees to there max of their contribution and engagement. Which lead to an overall better outcome.

@OliveOilandGasoline

5 ай бұрын

Hello Robert, I'm all for that sort of environment, it seems quite foreign to me, growing up in restaurants and in the yachting industry which are both hyper competitive and very cut throat. That being said I think it becomes a badge of honor for us to survive and thrive in this sort of business, albeit an unhealthy one. How do we start to change without the help of the heads of industry?

@RobertvandenBurg

5 ай бұрын

The following true story shows the power of collaboration. I had team of stock traders, 16 to be exact and if anything is competitive then there with mountains of high egos. Two men were super good and made insane deals. 14 other traders were measured against that in terms of result parameters. They were told every day how worthless they were compared to the two top men. Worst was that the two kept all the knowledge to themselves. So I called them together and told them that now there are two people making 70% of the turnover and there are 14 people who can do the same, but are in the wide funnel with two men blocking it at the exit. So we are not going to remove those two men so that there is flow again but we are turning the funnel around. I convinced the two men that if they teach the other 14 everything they know and guide them from time to time, there will soon be 16 top traders making mega deals. And so it happened. That is just one example if you really understand the power of collaboration. I don’t have an off the shelf solution how to change the mindset in your environment. My experience is that the owner, CEO or whoever is in charge must see the benefits of change. If not than you will be seen as a threat with all the associated risks and consequences. But we can talk about it in a private conversation next time.

Hey Brennan! Hope life is treating you well. I've been following you for a few years now, big fan of your work and your content. I'm 39, been in the catering industry since i was 14. I've been thinking about getting into yachting for a few years now, feel like I may have missed the boat a bit but am going to go for it anyway and get my STCW and ships cook certificate. Question for you... Do you think I'm going to get much of a look in from potential employers at this stage in the game? I feel like my experience is massively beneficial but realise the industry may favour young guns? Any insight from someone like yourself with bags of experience in the yachting game would be much appreciated. Happy sailing brother.

Hi Nick, I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you. I've been traveling in Latvia. You're not too old at all. You will struggle to find your first job like all of us did. You might get lucky too. Your land experience won't help you get a job but it will help you keep one once you get it with your amazing food. A lot depends on what time of year and where you want to start looking. Being in these places in person will cost you more than staying at home and applying online but you'll find a better job much quicker. I hope that helps.
