Fatim-Zahra Biaz est créatrice et Managing Director du New Work Lab, www.newworklab.com, laboratoire d'innovation qui rassemble startups, étudiants et entreprises autour des sujets de l'entrepreneuriat et des transformations des univers du travail, de la formation et de l’éducation Sa volonté de changement, elle l’incarne également en lançant www.schoolofchanges.com, où elle contribue à façonner le futur du travail au Maroc et à faire éclore une nouvelle génération de jeunes leaders innovants, acteurs du changement, résolus à exprimer et libérer leur potentiel Formée à l’EDHEC puis dans le secteur du conseil et des grands projets de transformation, elle décide en recherche de plus de sens à son travail, de quitter cette voie et de prendre le temps de faire un tour du monde.  « L’école ne nous permet pas de prendre le temps de savoir qui on est, connaître son potentiel et s’orienter vers des choses qui nous font sens » Ce tour du monde va l’introduire à la notion de communauté avec les nomades digitaux, et lui donner confiance en son intuition et le goût de l’aventure, à l’écart des sentiers battus « Entreprendre ne faisait pas partie du champ des possibles ! » De retour en France en 2011, en recherche d’une aventure entrepreneuriale, elle explore la scène des startups qui se construit, les espaces de coworking et s’acculture rapidement à cette communauté, au travers de rencontres, lectures et conférences. L’occasion pour elle d’itérer sur ses projets et d’apprendre à penser et agir comme une entrepreneure « Il m’a fallu attendre longtemps pour dire pourquoi pas moi ! » De cette immersion naîtra l’idée d’un Lab, espace de rassemblement et de réflexion pour connecter, accompagner les entrepreneurs et repenser le monde du travail. Elle rentre alors au Maroc en 2013 pour lancer New Work Lab et rejoint un écosystème naissant, animé par la même ambition et grain de folie, celui d’un entreprenariat différent Elle se fixe un délai court de trois mois pour concrétiser son projet : lancer le site web, trouver un local et faire découvrir sa plateforme au service de : La communauté des Entrepreneurs : avec laquelle elle engage des conversations authentiques autour de leurs projets et besoins, et qu’elle accompagne avec des programmes d’incubation et de formation  Les Grandes Entreprises pour les former aux nouvelles méthodes d’open innovation et d’amélioration de l’expérience client, sujets de mobilité et de travail à distance,… Le besoin de renforcer la notoriété de NWL, la pousse à lancer le Pitchlab, compétition qui donne de la visibilité aux startuppers, leur permet de se faire connaître, avoir du feedback bienveillant et de trouver des clients potentiels Le NWL accueillera jusqu’à 4000 personnes / an dans les différents évènements et accompagnera plus de 400 entrepreneurs avec ses programmes d’incubation « Je n’ai pas eu la chance de pouvoir pitcher jusqu’à aujourd’hui » Elle nous livre sa conclusion sur le trait d’union de ses initiatives et son parcours d’entrepreneure : penser le sens du changement, créer un narratif autour des transformations, connecter et fédérer une communauté autour de ce changement  Ses lectures coup de cœur :  Crazy Is a Compliment: The Power of Zigging When Everyone Else Zags – Linda Rottenberg https://www.amazon.com/Crazy-Is-Compliment-Zigging-Everyone/dp/1591846641 L’entreprise du bonheur par Tony Hsieh  - https://livremoi.ma/index.php/search/standard/view/gencod/9782848994871/

A little about our guests. Peter and Lydia have been together for 19 years and in business together 11 years. They have 2 adult daughters ages 35 and 26. Peter & Lydia’s oldest daughter is a part of their business. They are married but still shacking up (listen to the show if you want to know what that means). They are still passionately in love and working together just adds to the fun. A little about their business.Peter has been involved in the startup of a number of companies as a member of the launch team or an owner/team leader. But he travelled too much. Lydia’s background is in computer operations, software development, and in the management of software projects. She then became the co-founder and managing partner of her own consulting firm with clients such as Ford Motor Company and General Motors. One piece of advice (the nutshell version)Always fight fair. Words like “never,” “always,” and starting a sentence with “you are” is not fighting fair. If you can’t fight fair, step away until you can. Never start a conversation with “You.” Communicate how you feel.

I am on the same journey and quest to become a Remarkable Retailer that you are on…and have tried many different approaches to product selection over the years, but one decision that we made many years ago has continued to pay off in a variety of ways. To be a Remarkable Retailer or an Exceptional Entrepreneur, you must step outside of your comfort zone and do something that other businesses are NOT doing! My friend and co-worker, Sandy Brooks gave me a new book titled “Crazy is a Compliment: The Power of Zigging when everyone else Zags” by Linda Rottenberg, and although I have only had the opportunity to read the beginning chapters, I do feel that it describes “Remarkable Retailers & Exceptional Entrepreneurs” very well! I’ll put the information about this book in the show notes for you. That one decision I talked about earlier was the decision to commit to a Gourmet Foods/Kitchenware Department in our store, and stop dabbling in foods and take our selection and our service to a new level.    Today we’re going to talk about 5 Great Reasons to Go Gourmet!!!  

Apple hits a new high.  Amazon stumbles.  Microsoft surprises.  And McDonald’s slowdown continues.  Our analysts discuss those stories and share some stocks on their radar.  And we talk about the power of the unconventional with Linda Rottenberg, author of Crazy is a Compliment: The Power of Zigging When Everyone Else Zags.
