Meet Your Mentor
Hi, I'm Michael Wards. Prior to joining the culinary world, I earned my Bachelor's in business administration with an emphasis in sales & marketing from the University of Texas. I spent the next 10 years working for some of the biggest companies in America. Along the way, I was privileged to learn leadership skills from some of the best people in business.
In 2011, opportunity knocked and I left corporate America to follow my dream of attending culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu. In 2013, I opened The Austin Artisan, a luxury catering and personal chef business. Over the last 8 years, I've built it from the ground up into a 7-figure company. I'm a firm believer that my success is rooted in the leadership skills I've brought from my corporate experience into the kitchen.
I started White Hat Leadership because the culinary industry is broken. All of the stresses and frustrations that accompany the daily grind have brought out the worst in people. I believe we can do better. I believe we owe it to ourselves and to each other to do better. And I believe there's no better time than the present to get started.
Imagine your business being driven by core values, not chaos.
Your company culture built on teamwork, not tension.
With the right leadership skills, this can be your reality.

FAQs
Q: Even with the discount, this is a substantial investment. Is it really worth it?
A: Studies show a bad employee can cost you up to 3 times their annual salary. On the contrary, a chef with outstanding leadership skills can revolutionize your business and be the difference between building a multi-million dollar empire and declaring bankruptcy. For less than $1,000 per month, you're going to get my entire employee management operating system, including my proven collection of SOPs and templates for hiring, tracking employee success, conducting quarterly reviews, issuing hire and fire letters, and so much more. You'll also get private mentoring with me every month and access to pre-recorded training videos and a monthly mastermind. How much is that worth to you?
Q: I'm a very busy person. Will I really have time to participate in this?
A: If you're too busy working in your business, you will never be able to work on it. Right now, the most toxic and destructive component of a business is a bad employee. If you don't have the tools to identify, avoid and fire bad employees, you put yourself in a very bad position. The White Hat Leadership program will empower you to spend your time in the right places, doing the right things so you get the results you really want.
