Meet Louis Supan

 

We recently connected with Louis Supan and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Louis, thank you so much for joining us today. There are so many topics we could discuss, but perhaps one of the most relevant is empathy because it’s at the core of great leadership and so we’d love to hear about how you developed your empathy?

Growing up in a Filipino household, several unique cultural and familial aspects helped nurture my empathy

Strong Family Bonds, Filipino culture places a high value on family. Close-knit family relationships and frequent gatherings fostered a deep sense of connectedness and taught me to care for and understand the emotions and needs of family members.

Collectivist Culture, The Filipino community often emphasizes “bayanihan,” or communal unity and cooperation. Being part of a community that prioritizes helping one another encouraged me to be considerate and empathetic towards others.

Respect for Elders,Filipino households instill a strong respect for elders and their wisdom. Listening to their stories and experiences helped me develop an appreciation for different life perspectives and the importance of empathy.

Hospitality and Kindness, Filipino culture is known for its hospitality and warmth towards others. Growing up in an environment where kindness and generosity were everyday practices taught me the value of being empathetic and considerate.

Faith and Spirituality, Many Filipino families have a strong religious faith, which often includes teachings about compassion, understanding, and helping others. These spiritual lessons reinforced the importance of empathy in my life.

These cultural and familial conditions collectively shaped my ability to empathize with others, fostering a deep sense of compassion and understanding from a young age.

 

 

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Reflecting on my journey with LoucidEatz, three key qualities have been particularly impactful: adaptability, client-centric focus, and continuous learning. Here’s a closer look at each, along with advice for those starting their own journey:

1.Adaptability:
The ability to adapt has been crucial, especially when dealing with seasonal menu changes, evolving dietary trends, and the unique needs of each client. Adaptability has allowed us to stay relevant and responsive in a dynamic industry.
Embrace change and be open to new ideas. Stay informed about industry trends and be willing to pivot when necessary. Practice flexibility by taking on new challenges and learning from diverse experiences.

2. Client-Centric Focus:
Putting clients at the center of everything we do has helped us build strong, lasting relationships. By understanding their needs and preferences, we can tailor our services to provide exceptional experiences and satisfaction.
Listen actively to your clients and prioritize their feedback. Develop strong communication skills and always strive to exceed expectations. Build trust through consistency and reliability, showing clients that their satisfaction is your top priority.

3.Continuous Learning:
The commitment to continuous learning has enabled us to stay innovative and improve our offerings. Whether it’s exploring new culinary techniques, understanding nutritional science, or mastering business skills, ongoing education has been a cornerstone of our success.
Cultivate a growth mindset and seek out opportunities for learning. Attend workshops, take courses, and network with industry professionals. Stay curious and always look for ways to enhance your knowledge and skills.

For those early in their journey, remember that success often comes from a combination of passion, perseverance, and a willingness to learn and grow. Focus on developing these qualities, and you’ll be well-equipped to navigate the challenges and opportunities that come your way.
