What to expect?
Over 10 years as a B Corp, we’ve learned a lot at COOK about harnessing the power of relationships to create a bigger impact. The biggest wins are seldom (if ever) ours alone. They come from connecting powerfully with others around a shared vision and figuring out how we can all bring our unique gifts, resources and know-how to tackling a problem. This is where the real spirit of community lives. And from where the biggest opportunities for change emerge.
Whether it’s the people within our business, our suppliers, collaborators, even our customers — if we’ve got big ambitions (and we do!), then we need to nourish Big Relationships.
In this workshop we’ll take you through our simple model for Big Relationships and how you can apply it to your own team, challenge or opportunity and deliver meaningful change. Be ready to explore together how we can collectively deliver an even bigger impact by nourishing Bigger Relationships.
Why join this session?
If we want to go far, go together … So much of our potential as changemakers is tied up in our ability to nurture productive relationships with others. Yet we’re seldom given permission to put human connection first. At COOK we’ve created a £120m business and an award-winning workplace community of nearly 2,000 people by prioritising relationships. We’ve come to understand how everything – EVERYTHING – comes down to how we are together. As author EM Forster put it: Only Connect.
What are the key outcomes?
We intend everyone to go away feeling uplifted and inspired to focus more intentionally on Big Relationships. With an understanding of COOK’s Big Relationships model and examples of how it’s been used to create community and deliver impact. And, having started to explore how Big Relationships thinking can be applied to your own team, challenge, or opportunity to deliver positive change. Oh, and having made at least one new relationship in the room.
