This morning’s Good Morning America show featured a supermarket in Pennsylvania, Giant Foods in Willow Grove, where many of the employees lost a ton of weight. How did they do it?
They turned to the support of their in-house nutritionist, Mary Ann Moylan who guided them to following individualized food programs. Apparently the food chain smartly engages an in-house nutritionist to help shoppers with their healthy purchases. What a smart idea! What a good example of thinking out of the box since nutritionist are generally employed by hospitals and health institutions, not supermarkets.
Who knows who first came up with this idea. Did the supermarket recruit the nutritionist or did the nutritionist make a pitch to the supermarket to hire her?
Regardless, this is a great example of someone creatively applying her skills in an uncommon work environment. If we could all think more broadly and more creatively, we may find more options for us to explore whenever we are looking for more meaningful work.
What are five different unconventional spots for you to find work in? How might you approach these environments to consider hiring you?
If you’d like to brainstorm with me about this idea, do email me at melanie@startingfreshcoaching.com and I’ll be happy to offer you a complimentary session to start the ball rolling with you!
Think creatively!
Until next time,
Melanie
