Yup feel free to make use of me where you see fit.
Iām also keen to be involved or help however I can!
@Clare Happy to help wrangle things together if I can be of any help! We could also look at hosting this in B Corp Month as part of the āBehind the Bā theme. We can have some B Corps prepare a bit about what went into their score and what makes them different. I am also happy to represent B Lab here, or have one of our fabulous Certification Team like @Lauren or @Shalini_B_Lab speak to what resources B Lab has available to support along the journey, since a lot has changed in the past year!
Hey team,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had wonderful, well deserved breaks
I have one of my CEOs Brooke available to speak on this session and I know sheād be happy to speak to points points 2 and 3 in the suggested agenda laid out by Clare (which is great btw!)
How are people feeling about this being only in a couple of weeks though? As we havenāt marketed yet I feel like this is now maybe to short notice to garner enough interest? So maybe Kiraās suggestion of doing this during BCorp month would be better? Or @Kiraday do you think marketing materials can be made and shared with us in the next couple of days so we can go out to our audiences next week?
Please share what yāall think on this!
Thanks!
Iād be happy to wait til March. I quite like the idea of lining it up with B corp month
Kia ora koutou!
We havenāt quite gotten ready in time, so we are postponing this until March to coincide with BCorp month. Clare and I chatting on Monday and weāll come back to you all with more information and a couple of date options
Thanks, Demi
Kia ora koutou!
Clare and I had an awesome chat this morning and weād like to ask for input from our wonderful community that have already raised their hands to be involved in this session. A few things to discuss/get answers on below
DATE: Weāre looking at either Wednesday 16th or Thursday 31st of March. Please can everyone indicate their availability on those dates at 12pm.
HOSTING: Is anyone happy to host this great session?
AGENDA SETTING:
@Julia is the below along the lines of what we orginally spoke about and something that you think would be of use to the B2B Kiwibank customers you had in mind?
PLATFORM & MARKETING MATERIALS: @Kiraday are you/ Blab able to provide the platform for this to be hosted on/set up the session? And are Blab able to provide 1 landscape/1 portrait marketing graphic for us to collectively use to advertise the session
Thank you all for you input and help on this session, think this will be a great addition to the programme of work/events etc for BCorp month in March! Please respond by the end of this week if possible, Claire and I are meeting again next week to discuss progress.
Chur!
Demi
Kia ora Demi
Yes, Iām happy to help! I wouldnāt say Iām an expert, but Iām sure we can draw on the efforts of the community too.
Iām free either of those dates at 12pm.
NgÄ mihi
Penny
Yup count me in! Happy to do whatever you need me to do! Happy to provide my zoom account for hosting.
Thanks Demi, Iām available both of those days.
Mike
Sounds great Demi and fab timing for BCorp month! @Matias happy to contribute for no. 4 just let us know what you need
Hi @Demi , yes, I think this looks great. The only other thing that I often get asked is something along the lines of the biggest lesson or challenge that you had through the process. I think businesses are really interested to learn how the whole process helps improve a businessā operations (e.g. focus, prioritisation, efficiency, standardisation).
Iām unavailable on the 31st March, but can do the 16th, and am happy to speak to point 4. If there are a number of us speaking we could run it as more of a round table.
I think it would be great if B Lab could provide the hosting platform.
Kia ora @Demi! Sounds wonderful, would be more than happy to. Iām free both dates too
Hi all!
Thanks for your responses and enthusiasm! Weāll lock in March 16th at 12pm for this, Iāll send a placeholder invite out. Clare and I have a call booked in with Kira to discuss hosting and marketing materials in the next couple of days.
@JacintaY and @Matias Clare and I have noticed that you may be AU based is this correct?
Cheers, youāll hear from me and Clare again soon, in the mean time please do have a think about what you might cover in the question youāre speaking to with roughly 5 minutes speaking time.
Cheers all!
Demi
Hi Demi, yes correct @Matias and I are in Melbourne, AU
Hi all!
Clare and I just had a call with Kira. BLab will help us host this through Humantix, will arrange marketing materials for us and will promote the event with all the BCorp month comms, woohoo! Weāll be sorting all this with them over the next couple of days and will send the materials and event link out when itās set up.
I think we should have a prep call maybe the week before to just make sure we all know what weāre doing! @Clare would you maybe be happy to set that up whilst I sort the marketing info with @Kiraday?
@Lauren would you be happy to act as our host for the event?
@JacintaY and @Matias, huge apologies we didnāt realise youāre in Melbourne! We were planning on gearing this event towards aspiring NZ BCorps, are you still happy to be involved?
Thanks all itās going to be a great event!
Demi
Hi Demi, Iām so sorry we didnāt realise you were all in NZ either! I now see we are in your community thread, I honestly missed that till now. We might bow out of this one, but if there is a plan to do an AU version off the back of this we would love to be involved. Also, will attend this as itās shaping up to be a terrific event. Good luck and apologies again for the confusion! Jacinta
Hiya!
Planning session.
I took a total stab in the dark and picked Tuesday at 12pm for a planning session. If anyone can;t make it we can start diary wrangling.
@PennydeBorst @Lauren @Shalini_B_Lab can I please grab your email?
Sure ā my email is penny@write.co.nz
Sorry, but 11am Tuesday is out for me. My Tuesdays are stacked with meetings. But Iām free Wednesday, anytime except between 2pm and 3pm ā would that work?
