Think your first job didn’t teach you anything important? Think again. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real career skills and life lessons I picked up while working in a coffee shop and a busy restaurant—skills that shaped how I communicate, lead, and bounce back under pressure.
✨ Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
– Tangible communication skills that apply in any career
– The emotional resilience that comes from showing up when no one says “thank you”
– Soft skills you actually need to grow as a professional
– Leadership lessons from the frontlines of hospitality
– How to deal with difficult people without losing your cool
– Why adaptability in the workplace is your secret weapon
– Everyday ways to build emotional intelligence through service
– Honest, relatable career advice that you can carry with you
This one’s for anyone who’s ever worked retail, food service, or customer-facing roles—and for anyone wondering what those gritty first jobs really prepare you for.
👖 If you’ve ever asked, “What are the lessons I learned in my first job—and how can I use them now?” This is your episode.
