What work brings passion and meaning to your life?

For many people, chocolate represents pure bliss. Is it those pheromones that kick in when eating it, the same chemicals released when we’re in love? Or is it the decadent smooth taste? What if you could make and taste chocolate every day — how would that affect the way you look at your life and work?

Master chocolatier Greg Hook, owner of the successful Vancouver niche business Chocolate Arts, has created his own chocolate nirvana; he calls his work process part of the “zen and art of chocolate-making.” Come and hear Greg share what makes his business work for him; what brings him flow, passion, love & meaning. And join us in discussing how we can all bring more of that to our own work in the coming year. Free samples provided!

About Our Speaker:

Greg Hook is a pastry chef, master chocolatier, and owner of Chocolate Arts in Vancouver. This Kitsilano niche business, which crafts and sells chocolate products, is committed to sustainable and organic agriculture and uses no additives or artificial ingredients in its fillings. When Greg opened Chocolate Arts in 1992, he wanted to produce chocolates that were beautiful & tasty, and used as many local products as possible. Twenty years later, he has maintained this vision, creating chocolates that reflect his unique style and passion.

Last year, Greg was appointed as a member of the exclusive Chocolate Ambassadors Club of Cacao Barry, the world’s leading supplier of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products. Greg is one of only 12 members in Canada, as well as the first chocolatier chosen west of Ontario. Since 2005, Greg has been a member of a Virtus Presidents Exchange group (based on a format used by the Young Presidents’ Organization), which meets once a month to discuss issues and share knowledge between owner/entrepreneurs.

Born in Saskatchewan, Greg migrated to Vancouver as a young man, where he immersed himself in pastry and learned from the city’s leading pastry chefs. (For more on his company, please go to www.chocolatearts.com.)
