This is a YouTube video titled "Leadership is a skill, not a gift #LeadershipTraining #RestaurantSuccess #TRCMethod" (created 2026-01-22T02:00:59Z). It contains a short group discussion / interview-style excerpt with three participants labeled SPEAKER A, SPEAKER B, and SPEAKER C. They discuss the TRC method's leadership training for a restaurant leadership team—covering leadership roadmaps, soft-skill development, the leadership blueprint, observed behavior changes in trainees, and a reference to a section of "Donald's" training. The clip appears to focus on how structured training helps refine leadership skills rather than relying on innate ability.

In the TRC method, we offer a lot of training options for people. We have, like, leadership roadmap, becoming a positive leader. We have lots of material, lots of modules that your leadership team has access to so they can actually start developing those soft skills. How critical do you think some of that training has been in the TRC method for your leadership team?
I mean, it's been critical for Matt and I.
Yeah.
You know, I had another career prior to owning a restaurant. I really had no desire to own a restaurant. So I. 100%. I mean, I'm a buffalo and I know that. And I. It's taught me that training itself has taught me, you know, some of the soft skills that I needed to perfect to be able to be a leader. So people are walking by me, and I'm not just either pushing them or just like, peace out. You know, you guys are bugging me. Get out of the way. Because that's the kind of person I am. I could admit it. But it's also, you know, leaders, people who are true leaders are buffaloes generally. And so soft. I always say people are not. People think you're a natural born leader. You're not. I think people definitely have leader tendencies, but we all have to refine those soft skills. And so, you know, we do make our leaders do the. The leadership blueprint and different things. And it definitely. You can definitely see a change in them as they go through the program.
So cool. So cool. Yeah, you'll get. Once in a while, we'll get to the leader meeting and one of them through this. I went through this section of Donald's training. This is what I got out of it. And they're excited.
Yeah.
See the difference? That's awesome. That's so awesome.
