About this listen
In this special NutriSmart SNAX Podcast episode recorded live at the OSBA Capital Conference, host Maureen Pisanick speaks with Phil Herman and Tom Speaks of The Impact Group to explore Appreciology, staff retention, and how the school cafeteria truly serves as the heart of culture.
👂 What you'll learn in this episode:
● What Appreciology is and how it improves team morale
● A simple 45-day gratitude challenge that rewires the brain
● Why appreciation is key to staff retention in schools
● The role of school nutrition teams as culture leaders
● Why we shouldn’t judge each other’s choices (yes, even Kit Kats 🍫)
🧡 “Hungry kids can’t learn. The kitchen can be the heartbeat of the school. When staff feel appreciated, they don’t just serve meals - they create moments and memories.”
