Juu’s Journal Day 12: holding my first Latte Art Class!!!

Dear Diary Day 12,

I want to start off by saying sorry for not updating in so long T^T

Life can really get in the way sometimes. before I was beyond swamped πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

I was covering for people, and training lots of people, and trying to take care of Dona, I was even given many jobs, all at the same time! It was a great learning experience but I am spent so for today’s post I want to fresh and share my experiences as a teacher instead of a full on trainer.

Up to this point I have had only trained member of my staff,

This was my first actually student.His name is V and 1 full year earlier he’d had won a giveaway of a free latte art class with my teacher but unfortunately my teacher has not been available since he is not currently in Vancouver. So as a replacement I was selected!!!

I was worried that my communication skills were not good enough to teach and that I myself was not worth enough.

To combat these fears I spent many days and hours researching and planning for today!

For starters, I used Google and Instagram to find the words to convey what I want my student to understand and intern learn my from my guidance.

Second I was worried I would lose track of what I was doing and lose attention and then come off as unprofessional. So to fix this I created a detailed plan with notes and hand drawn diagrams of how and what I was teaching. It is easier to follow then to lead so I made a good plan, and followed my plan!!!

Here was my plan and my notes for my student.

The class went extremely smoothly!!! And I can definitely say

I am so very proud of my student today !!!!☺️🫢 I am so happy to see his progress through our lesson! I hope my lessons can stay with my students for a lifetime and that when they see a cup of coffee, it will remind them of there silly teach Juu from Wicked Cafeβ˜•οΈπŸ™ˆ

I had an excellent time and I felt I was in the right space.

I am not sure what is in my futures cards but maybe I will consider holding more latte art class πŸ€” please let me know what you think and maybe I can pitch it to my manager 🀣🀣🀣

Thank you very much to my students today 🫢

For today’s menu I want to talk about the amazing item!

The Winnie The Pooh Honey Jar!!!

It is a vanilla pudding with wafer cookies and house peach syrup.

We make them in extremely large quantities and freeze them.

We defrost a dozen the night before even day and to Garnish with add a bit more peach syrup, 3 Honeycomb cereal bits and a honey stick! The most important part is to make sure it looks pretty 😍

That’s all for today! Thank you for sticking with me I promise to keep updating!!!!!!!
