By Ed Cox · March 12, 2021

On March 11th, we hosted our third Lean Coffee event: an agenda-less but structured meetup where attendees suggested and selected discussion topics.

Attendees suggested topics for discussion, including their current biggest issues, topical subjects and things that were on their minds. Attendees then upvoted three submitted topics and the highest-scoring topics were added to a list for discussion, starting with the most popular.

We discussed the following topics:

  • How to deepen interactions / relationships with people beyond Zoom?
  • Do you think at all of the impact of your shopping habits? Are you trying to shop ethically? What kind of products?
  • Tips on being disciplined on using screen time

Other topics were suggested and upvoted, but we didn’t have time to discuss them so we may return to them in future events:

  • Ways to relax/unwind after working from home?
  • What changes have you noticed in your behaviour due to being remote for almost a year now?
  • How do you feel about going back to the office?
  • How open are people to extracurricular activities now vs before the lockdown?
  • Any new apps to enhance online meetings
  • How are we planning to adapt now we’re gradually re-opening again?

If you’d like to discuss some of these topics, or have an issue you’d like to discuss with other social entrepreneurs, please look out for future Lean Coffee events.
