THE STORY BEHIND THE CONVERSATIONS
What happens when
we make room
for each other?
We don’t learn much about the world if we only hear from people who see it the way we do.
Luke Cook, known as Cookie, shares the story of building Cuppa around a simple belief: meaningful connection starts with curiosity, care and a willingness to listen.
This is a personal, story-led talk about leading with heart, meeting beyond familiar circles and what we can learn when we give someone our attention. Not another framework to squeeze into a busy day — a reason to approach the next conversation differently.
IDEAS TO TAKE INTO YOUR NEXT CONVERSATION

Practical things to try.
Stay curious.

Widen your circle.
Make room for a perspective beyond your usual conversations — and choose one connection to start.
MAKE SPACE FOR THE HUMAN SIDE
A moment for
your people.
Close the year with perspective.
Start 2027 with connection.
