Frequently Asked Questions
What is your address?
Our address is CEO Chef, 311 N. Robertson Blvd. #888, Beverly Hills, CA 91325
Do you travel?
Yes! While our office is based in the Los Angeles area, one of the advantages to working with us is that we come to you. We regularly deliver programs throughout the United States, the Caribbean and for our friends to the North in Canada. We’ll conduct our programs right at your company campus, or in hotels, resorts and conference center.
In fact, if you are looking for a venue to hold your next sales meeting, leadership retreat or general group meeting or conference, let our in-house event planning department assist you in anyway. Just call toll free 888-308-8326 or Connect@CEOChef.com to help you.
How much lead time do you need for a program? Ideally, we prefer a minimum of one month lead time to plan for a program. That said, we have planned and provided programs with as little as 2 days advance notice! Our ability to respond in a short time frame will depend on our existing schedule. Also, a good rule of thumb is that the larger the program (250+ participants), the more lead time is best. Not just for us or and the host hotel, but for your planning team as well, so you’re complete to what kind of program you’d like us to design.
Since our schedules become a “first come; first serve” type situation, we always encourage our clients to contact us as soon as you know when you’ll need our services. We can always put a tentative hold on your dates for a couple of days until we get all the details worked out.
Please contact us and let us know your timeline; we will let you know what we can do!
How much do your programs cost?
We customize each program to your situation and goals. So a quick conversation with one of our friendly CEO Chef representatives and they will supply you with at least an approximate quote for your event. We'd be happy to confirm a budget for you once we have a clear understanding of your goals and objectives. And especially since we offer cooking team buildings, keynote speaking and leadership workshop presentations, many times we are able to offer a better combined investment amount which saves you the hassle to hire another presenter or program facilitator and the expense of bringing in one more person to your conference. Visit our page Team Building Packages for some examples of this new idea.
Do you run public events, talks and workshops?
Yes we do reach out to our respective communities and offer public workshops, talks and presentations on building teams and developing leaders in your organization both large and small.
Small businesses and entrepreneurs can benefit from our public workshops because they may not have the resources as a large corporation but they have the desire to improve and grow. So with enough interested individuals coming together, we can create an event for your private group, networking organization, local association of any and all of our programs to groups of individuals wanting to take their business to the next level. Visit our Events page for any upcoming public events, talks or workshops.
What makes CEO Chef different from other team development companies?
Besides the most obvious difference that we feature cooking as our main transformation tool, that we are the only culinary team building company whose programs and presentations have been designed by a highly experienced celebrity chef with an extensive professional background in corporate training and organizational development.
We believe there are five primary factors that differentiate us from our competitors:
1. Our Focus. We are client relationship and results focused, and care deeply so you can trust that we will treat you with great respect and care. We strive to ensure that every program we deliver meets the highest standards of quality and delivers desired business results. CEO Chef's business goal is quality over quantity—we actively choose to service organizations that see their biggest asset as their work teams, this creates deep relationships with our clients, rather than a high-volume empire churning out programs.
2. Our Method. We believe the most effective way of building insight is by "doing” (or, in our case, by “cooking”) also called experiential or "microtraining". We don't stand at the front of the room and talk at people. Instead, you engage in experiential hands-on activities, allowing you to discover meaningful “a-ha’s!” for yourself. As a result, everyone walks away with a deeper understanding of themselves and their team, and a stronger commitment to ongoing action.
3. Program Uniqueness. We don't deliver off-the shelf programs – every program we deliver is unique and customized to each client's specific needs. We start with the end (your desired outcomes) in mind first, and build outward from there.
4. Our Attitude. Play and fun are the cornerstones of successful learning. In fact, many times we refer to our programs as “Recess for the hard-working corporate executive”. Meaning that if you think back to when you where a young student, what was your favorite time of the school day? Recess of course! Even though math, spelling, science were all important for knowledge, recess was the time you could “air it out” and recharge those learning batteries. And where do you think most relationships were being built? You got it, right there, during recess! As boys and girls, we knew this instinctively. We want you to re-awaken the “kid” within by playing and cooking with us – and thereby learning valuable life lessons as well!
5. Our process. We use food, cooking preparation and kitchen stories in all of our team development offerings. We realize that food and eating are the natural rapport builders and the foundation to connecting with your group as wells as the common denominator to bridge generations like millennials to baby boomers.
