JobsWorth - Liam Lingwood

from JobsWorth · host John Hawker

JobsWorth is back and this week I’m speaking to Liam Lingwood, Head Chef and Owner of Essex based restaurant Food Leigh on Sea. Liam couldn’t be any more different from so many of the chefs we see portrayed on our screens in shows like The Bear or films like Burnt with Bradley Cooper (both worth a watch). As well as being a genuinely lovely bloke, his leadership style may well have been shaped by his less than conventional route into the kitchen and the mentors he’s been fortunate enough to work with and learn from along the way. In this episode you’ll learn all about that. We also talk about the importance of showing willing when you’re first starting out in your career, the impact of finding the right boss and the right environment, Liam’s experience of burnout, as well as how he overcame it, and how he took over an existing business in a way that honoured its legacy while putting his own stamp on it at the same time. Oh, and ready yourself for a game of ‘Rate My Plate’ and the subsequent fallout towards the end of the episode. You won’t want to miss it. Please enjoy...Liam Lingwood#jobsworth #podcast #career #worklife #storiesthatinspirechangeThe JobsWorth website is here www.jobs-worth.comWatch the show on YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@jobsworthpodcastFollow the show on Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/jobsworthpodcast/?hl=enFollow me on LinkedIn; https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhawker/Follow me on TikTok; https://www.tiktok.com/@globaltechcollectiveSubscribe to my newsletter 'The Job Journal from GTC'; https://subscribepage.io/TheJobJournalLearn more about my proper job; https://www.globaltechcollective.com/Contact the show on [email protected]
