Continuing our strong performance in the independent education sector..

Exciting Times Ahead! As I step into March 1st, 2024, I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey that was 2023. It is only today that I close my 2023 chapter :) a year filled with growth, challenges (exhaustion!), and rewarding experiences. Only today, I bid adieu to the past year's endeavors, and would like to share some highlights that have shaped my professional growth and to thank all those who were part of this dynamic year: 📌 Finalized a comprehensive theoretical research for the FAO, analyzing food safety in the NENA region through the lens of risk analysis and the one health approach. 📌 Developed and delivered four enriching courses on crucial topics such as Allergen Management Control, Developing a Positive Food Safety Culture, EU Food Labeling, and FDA Food Labeling. These courses were a pivotal part of the USAID TRADE project, focusing on enhancing food exports in the Egyptian food industry. 📌 Prepared detailed guidance documents on key areas including food allergen management, fostering a positive food safety culture, and navigating EU and FDA food labeling regulations, all integral to the success of the TRADE project. 📌 Provided expert labeling review support services through DFK comprehesive services, minimizing the risk of product rejection and legal issues for numerous clients. 📌 Designed and currently lecturing the Food Safety Laws and Regulations Master course for the Master of Science program in 'Food Process and Product Engineering' (MSc FPPE), a collaborative effort between Stiftung Tierärztliche Hochschule Hannover and Deutsches Institut für Lebensmitteltechnik. 📌 Delivered the PCQI course for a number of clients, with excellent feedback. Now, I'm excitingly diving back into my passion for delivering the amazing curriculum of the #PCQI course. But that's not all—stay tuned for the upcoming #BRC Food Safety Standard courses and more exciting ventures on the horizon. In the spirit of lifelong learning, and as Spring approaches and the sun peeks out more often in Hannover, though it's still a bit shy :), I'm thrilled for a fresh start as a learner with #MIT Professional Education, specifically the "Life Cycle Assessment: Quantifying Environmental Impacts" #lca . I'll be learning the tools and methodologies for assessing product impacts on the #environment, so excited to explore how I will transfer these insights to the food processing industry. Here's to embracing new challenges, seizing opportunities, and continuing to expand our knowledge horizons ! I am also open to new research and technical food safety calls! Get in touch if you look for experts support in #labelreviews for #compliance, science-backed advisory and training services to access EU and US markets, or guidance on #riskassessment for adequate #HACCP and Food Safety Plan #fsp. #pcqi #sustainability #foodsafety #foodprocessing #regulatorycompliance #riskmanagement #foodexport #foodtrade

Is the wine ‘Masterclass’ part of our industry’s problem in attracting new consumers? Why does a lecture continue to be the format du jour at most industry and consumer events? How many people actually enjoy being lectured to, literally in a classroom style table setting? Perhaps we need to view this behaviour from a (potential) consumer’s eyes. Even if practical at industry-to-industry engagements, we should be mindful of what we’re modelling by putting wine in a master and apprentices consumption environment. Fear of entry to the wine category, for many, may be through a perception of not having the ‘educational’ requisites to enjoy it. Maybe entertainment over education needs to be the mantra, especially for those new to our category.

The Age-Old Debate: Pineapple on Pizza at Enrollment Conferences? 🍍🍕 I recently spoke at the Western Boarding Schools Association's 2024 Spring Conference in Colorado Springs, and wow, what an experience! Beyond the rich discussions and invaluable networking, a lighter debate stole the show – pineapple on pizza. Yes, you read that right. Diving into sessions and workshops with industry peers like @jason-brooks-97147b4, @malotke-meslin, @dr-reggie-thomas-3376731b2, and @andrewpcocco was invigorating. These gatherings are a testament to the collective wisdom within our community and an incredible opportunity for personal growth. However, during an ice-breaking section of Jason Brooks' presentation, the unexpected topic emerged: Pineapple on pizza—yea or nay? This light-hearted debate not only provided comic relief but also underscored the beauty of these conferences. Amidst rigorous discussions and learning exchanges lies the essence of connection over simple human moments. So here’s to more enlightening seminars, innovative ideas...and solving culinary controversies! And remember, beyond every successful educational strategy lies a team that can both seriously transform student inquiries and enjoyably debate pizza toppings. Let's keep creating spaces where both can thrive! P.S. For those curious about my stance – I'm firmly on team #NoPineappleBelongs. What's yours?

In education we collect a lot of information from surveys about how to improve everything from an open event through to how the canteen food is and everything in between. Many surveys ask quite detailed specific questions. Instead, how about asking - what’s the one thing we could have done better?🤔
