People i have motivated? Flashcards
How did you motivate someone who didn’t like you?
When i was asked to be the kitchen director, i was trained by Veta Dawson who had been leading Todd’s kitchen for over 10 years compared to my 5 months and there was obvious resistance. She was tough, firm, and and made the kitchen look easy.
- I was persistent to want to know her
- I realized she had a talent for food
- I got her to tell me her dream
- I showed her the dream was possible
- I stayed in touch to ensure she knew how much i care about her success
- she was promoted to an executive director role and was chosen to lead Todd’s new restaurant
- She had paid off debt, started catering on the side, and is one step closer to her food truck.
How do you motivate people?
“The Keon Effect”
“Live with Conviction”
I am naturally very relational and able to build relationships with pretty much anybody.
-Through those relationships, I build trust so that i can find out what people are really passionate about.
-I am honest about their gifts and talents
-And like my grandmother, i tell the truth to people because it will literally set them free.

Tyler White worked with me as a Co leader in Brad Munson’s restaurant.
She thought she wanted to be an operator, but her curiosity and communication skills seemed more fit for coaching career. She is now with Trevero and a juvenile detention center in houston, tx.
She feels like i shared the same passion for growth.
I create a sense of unity.
-I live out the motivation that preach
“practice what i preach” and i invite people in to see how i do that.
