"The paper doesn’t matter; it’s the mindset we bring to the table." – Sharon Morris Sharon Morris ( World Commerce & Contracting ) and Jaison Hoernel ( Good Cycles ) delivered powerful insights on building impact-driven partnerships through contract negotiations. Jaison reminded us that building relationships is everything. For social enterprises, it's about clearly showing the value you bring—understanding and demonstrating how you can meet buyers' needs directly and indirectly. 🔑 Key tips for social enterprises: 1. Know your value & embrace collaboration 2. Come prepared for meaningful discussions 3. Bring case studies that show your impact 4. Consider joint ventures that create mutual success 5. It's OK to walk away if it doesn’t align with your values or goals It’s about creating true partnerships to drive real impact! #STConvene #Business4Good

Safety is crucial. A few weeks ago, while riding through Melbourne CBD, I narrowly avoided the six spikes on the wheel of this truck. Although illegal and anti-social, this seems to reflect the attitudes towards bikes and bike lanes by some council candidates in our recent elections. Bike lanes have been a contentious issue in Melbourne's recent council elections. Despite clear global evidence that bike lanes don’t cause congestion and can improve traffic flow, some candidates remain opposed. Melbourne, like many other cities, benefits from the safety and health improvements that bike lanes provide. Everyday, Good Cycles employees, delivery riders, couriers, and commuters rely on cycling for commuting and work. Their safety and health are paramount. As new councils take office, it’s time to focus on effective solutions and stop opposing bike lanes. Expanding bike infrastructure will create a city that is easier to navigate and better for everyone.

Today is World Mental Health Day. A safe, healthy and supportive workplace provides many benefits, including self-confidence and enjoyment at work and providing purpose, stability and productivity. Our recent research reveals that young people view employment as more than just a means of earning money. They see employment as a place where different skills are appreciated and diversity is respected, emphasising several non-financial aspects of employment such as opportunities for: 🧡 peer and social connection 🧡 to learn in a supportive, inclusive working environment 🧡 to work alongside diverse people 🧡 for progression By creating an inclusive and welcoming workplace, we encourage a space where all staff can participate and thrive being their true selves not just today, but every day. We hear this from our Young People but we know this is true for everyone. In addition, we know that having access to appropriate support is important and is there when you need it, anytime and for any concern. Lifeline is available 24/7 on 13 11 14 or online chat. #GoodCycles #SocialEnterprise #YoungPeople #Employment #WorldMentalHealthDay
