| Breakfast with Cora |
|
| |
| Our own Judith Kirkness along with Linda Galbraith from Minotaur customer Triple
A Cheese were two of ten lucky winners to join Breakfast with Cora on June
23rd. at Cora’s Oakville location. Cora Tsouflidou, the founder of Cora’s Breakfast
and Lunch chain, was the speaker at the Women in Food Industry Management
(WFIM) dinner event in early June and held a draw for ten of those in attendance
to join her for breakfast. The winners were treated to a wonderful breakfast of our
choice from the menu which included both healthy and decadent choices and lots
of crepes, a specialty of Quebec, where Cora began her restaurant chain. She
began the restaurant with a single breakfast bar and although she has grown adding
Franchises monthly, they have resisted the urge to move beyond what they
are good at, choosing to serve just Breakfast and Lunch, closing at 3pm. Last year,
Cora handed over the day to day running of Cora’s to her son freeing her to travel
more. She really enjoys sharing her knowledge and love of business and each attendee
was given the opportunity to ask Cora a question. Over the course of three hours,
Cora shared her stories and lessons learned to help each of us progress in our own
careers. She is an avid reader and recommended several books she has enjoyed and found valuable. This round table
discussion brought out ideas not just from Cora but from all those in attendance and it was a truly inspiring event. It was
so successful that the WFIM organization is planning to host some of these breakfasts with other leaders in the future.
Please contact Judith if you would like to be her guest at a WFIM event in the fall. |
