One of my greatest role models has been "the Naked Chef", Jamie Oliver. He has been such an amazing advocate for the importance of nutritious foods; first in the U.K. and then progressively throughout the rest of the world. This turned him into a global phenomenon. His passion for food translated not only into a hit TV show, but also flourished into a variety of projects including revamping primary and secondary school meal programs which aimed at educating children and school staff on healthy meal preparation.
Jamie's success could not have come without his very effective ability to communicate; this is something my classmate Annalise agrees is very important in the field of Nutrition. His laid back and straight forward, simple approach to healthy meal preparation has captured the attention of audiences around the world; first with his T.V. cooking show, then with his recipe books and then further into documentary film making. These documentaries feature Jamie giving presentations, mostly to school children, with a very interactive and hands-on approach to learning about food. His method of communicating his "food revolution" message has had a lasting impact and has earned him many awards. See the following clip of his acceptance of the TED award which displays his impeccable public speaking skills.
Jamie's visual media presence is extended into his online presence. His website features interactive discussions regarding food and lifestyle, a frequently updated recipe list, news feeds, surveys, and video posts highlighting his recent messages. Fans are invited to stay connected and updated by following him on Facebook and Twitter. By using effective oral, written and online communication, Jamie Oliver has been able to share his ideas to improve the health and wellbeing of others.
