Highlights
Very often I go to health conferences where the only food and snack options are unhealthy. Shouldn't health conferences be an opportunity to show that healthy food can also be delicious? People might try some healthy new food that they love and make a point of making it back at home.
That's why I loved seeing this spread from @Function Health's New York launch breakfast hosted by @ablepartnersnyc, a beautiful table featuring carrot muffins, avocado tartines, coconut cloud smoothies, turmeric chai oat + seed pudding and raspberry pomegranate oat + seed pudding, along with a grazing board including beet deviled eggs, matcha pistachio energy balls, tinned fish and fermented sides.
We need to rethink our assumption that business events must always by default serve unhealthy foods — that can also, in fact, make us less energetic, less focused and less productive.
"Empathy is what builds relationships. It’s the gateway. And what’s the key to opening up that gateway of empathy? Sharing vulnerability."
That's from Keith @Ferrazzi's great new book, "Never Lead Alone," out now.
