“Hey, here’s how I manage stress: with dough, sugar, and a sprinkle of magic. How about you?”
On partnerships and bake-off’s
Exchanging baking practices might just be the secret weapon to strengthening ties between project partners. Sure, you can swap spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations, but nothing builds camaraderie quite like sharing your kanelbullar or cinnamon bun recipe.
Think about it: baking is all about precision and timing—just like a project. When you and your project partners exchange baking tips, you’re really exchanging a lot more than that. It’s like saying, “Hey, here’s how I manage stress: with dough, sugar, and a sprinkle of magic. How about you?”
Plus, when you bake together (or share recipes), you discover each other’s quirks in a lighthearted way. Maybe your partner insists on using organic flour because it’s "better for the environment," or perhaps they swear by an absurd amount of chocolate chips—either way, these small details bring people closer.
And let’s be honest—if you can trust someone with your secret to the perfect bread, you can trust them with a project deadline. So, next time you're looking to strengthen ties with your project partners, forget the conference calls—break out the rolling pin!
