This March is B Corp month, and we are excited to celebrate our second year as a B Corp. We wanted to get as involved as possible, so we attended as many events as we could and hosted our own B Corp breakfast mixer.

Why Human Connection at Work Matters More Than Ever
Posted by Liz McKechnie
We live in a world where technology is moving faster than ever, and paradoxically, this means human connection matters more than ever.
Humans are inherently social beings and thrive when working in groups. We often struggle in isolation, and loneliness is increasingly recognized as a significant mental health issue. While remote work, AI, and automation have simplified many aspects of our lives, they have also contributed to a sense of disconnection, especially post-COVID. The days of spontaneous chats by the coffee machine seem to be fading away.
Networking and Building Connections Rooted in Growth
Posted by Kathy Powers-Moore
When I think about networking and building connections it reminds me of what happened when I recently posted online about an exciting development at work. I was surprised and delighted by the extent of the likes and positive comments I received. Now I know there are mighty algorithms doing their thing here, but it definitely delivered a little dose of dopamine and got me thinking about the people who had interacted with my post, some from many, many years and jobs ago!
These are people not just quietly sitting in my contacts list; they actively interacted with my content, albeit mostly with a simple click on the like button. They are people in my network doing similar things with multiple other contacts, on a massive scale, sending content, energy and messages along tiny invisible communication networks. It’s similar to how we know trees communicate.
Aspire Leadership is a corporate partner with the wonderful National Forest Company, the organisation responsible for leading the creation of the National Forest, a new wooded landscape in the Midlands. For obvious reasons it is our pleasure to support them.
