It's diabolical!  On today's Shift Break we will be talking about why you are only as good as your worst drink, worst service encounter, worst whatever! And what we can do to rewire the part of our brains and operations that allow these moments to happen.    Sign up for 1:1 CONSULTING AND COACHING If you are a cafe owner and want to work one on one with me to bring your shop to its next level and help bring you joy and freedom in the process then email chris@keystothshop.com OR... book a free call now to talk about working together https://calendly.com/chrisdeferio/30min    Related Episodes: YouTube: SHIFT BREAK!
