First of all, we have
been holding off posting our thoughts about the Childhood Obesity Strategy that was launched this summer in hope that the document we read wasn’t the last we
would hear of it.

Assembly with an Eagle Twist
So, I did my first ever “Food Assembly” last
week in front of 300 children! (Children may not sound scary, but when you are
stood in a room full of these bright eyed, eager little faces waiting for a
mystery person to talk– it is daunting, especially if you are not used to it)
What’s a Food Assembly – well it’s what it says on the tin,
but we tend to do ours with a bit of a
twist.

School Food Lessons from my first Pedagoo!
So over the weekend, I had the pleasure of spending some
time at “Pedagoo Hampshire” a learning and development event for teachers.
And no, I wasn’t lost! And yes I know I’m not a teacher –
but at Eagle we take our role of Food and Wellbeing Educators really seriously
and so want to ensure we are doing all we can to be effective as we support
schools in that area.
It was my first Pedagoo and yet I’ve already signed up to my
next one!
I took so much away from the event focused on supporting
teachers (and indeed people) to improve, grow and develop and was so fascinated
about how it could be applied to improving and supporting the area of school
food. I discovered there were many application and my top 5 were:

Living Your Values
Values are
so important. We hear so much about “British Values” or “Christian values” and
yet just having those values is not enough. You have to live your values. Even
when it’s hard. Even when there’s an easy way out staring you in the face.
That’s one
of the key things I’ve learn as I’ve come into work each day.
I’m Shaira
and I joined Team Eagle in January this year… Starting at a new company was really
exciting but also scary too. On my first day, I was taken through the value
statement – which definitely helped calm the nerves. It was such a powerful
statement of intent and I remember reading through the values and thinking to
myself – ‘if this company actually live by these values then I’m glad that I’m
here”

Hello! What’s this all about?
What's it all about?
That’s a big angsty question to start our very first blog with… and yet it’s the only one that matters.
In his incredible TED Talk and book, Simon Sinek tells us to “Start with Why?”
as conveying purpose and meaning in what you are doing is ultimately what
will make a difference to the world and your work.
Why?
Because the “why” is how leaders inspire action.
It's how movements start.
It’s how we as individuals make a change and have real impact.
And so in homage to that amazing piece of advice, we are starting our “Fresher Files” with a few of our why’s for what we do, and this blog.
