What role does human behavior have on how we should consume space? Phil Kirschner, Workplace Strategy and Change Leader at McKinsey & Company joins Bold Founder Caleb Parker for the ninth episode of Season 6 to share the lessons from his part of the WeWork story, as well as how he's helping organisations evolve their Workplace Strategies in his current role at McKinsey. Phil explains what customers liked about WeWork's product as well as the challenges in delivering the buzz and energy at the enterprise level.  He goes on to explian that McKinsey offices are seeing higher demand today, though the reason may surprise you. This is a great episode ahead for office investors, operators and customers alike.

At Credit Suisse, JLL and WeWork, he learned continuously across the disciplines of information security, operational risk, expense management and corporate real estate, before finding his passion for workplace strategy and the future of work.Outside of work, he is a fifth-generation NYC native, dedicated father and husband, committed volunteer for New York Cares and Lincoln Center, and avid traveller with 45 countries under his belt so far. About Our Host: Caleb Parker https://www.linkedin.com/in/calebparker/ Caleb Parker is an American entrepreneur in London, and Founder of Bold (acquired by Newable/NewFlex in 2019).He believes in "challenging the status quo" and is a champion for entrepreneurial and innovative thinking. Caleb has served as founder, Board member, advisor, investor and consultant to numerous startups and small businesses, and has a keen focus on innovation and technology, with interests in the MICE market, Space-as-a-Service, and the future of work.Caleb has been a guest lecturer, speaker, and moderator for topics such as entrepreneurship, the sharing economy, the future of work and commercial real estate at academic institutions and large corporations.

Timestamps [06:40] From your time at WeWork, what was the demand you were seeing in regards to scale-ups and enterprise and what was like for a normal member versus an enterprise customer? A lot of our corporate clients were interested in what WeWork was exploring, trialling and implementing in our own headquarters.  To the mass market, the idea of a workplace, which is both convenient and in a desirable location, with a likeable community of people that offered an engaging experience was a compelling product to buy. For enterprise members, in co-working spaces or flexible office spaces, usually the major differentiator is that the person who occupies the space was not the person who made the decision to have people occupy that space, so the dynamic of who made the decision relative to who's having the experience is a little different. [10:20] What is the enterprise product and what does it look like? In early days, in order to achieve such scale and growth and get the level of enterprise buy-ins, we delivered whatever was attractive to buyer.  Leaders were attracted by our flexibility, our locations and our growth, not necessarily by community and experience. We would often customise to suit the needs of the enterprise. [13:50] What do you think worked and didn't work about the flexibility and customisation? As part of the WeWork narrative, we would bring what we have learned from the explosive growth, design and research, to bring the best to the company. When we went to our client and were doing spaces within an overall context that they controlled, they were typically more amenable to listening to the science and the research.  We had success taking a WeWork footprint into someone else's footprint versus having them come to ours.  [24:05] You are now the ‘Workplace strategy and change leader' at McKinsey, can you tell us what your role involves?  Phil spends his time trying to have broad spectrum impact across client and industry teams, serving individual projects, but also working to build capabilities and knowledge for the firm. Phil sits between two practice areas, delivering strategic advice to companies who happen to be in the business of real estate- designing, servicing, operating, investing and the function of real estate. His secondary home is within a people and organisational performance practice.  He gets to focus on the impact that physical space has on leadership and business decisions and the role that organisational and employee behaviours have on how you should be consuming space. [26:30] How does McKinsey see the future of the office and real estate in general? Client perceptions are changing and it's creating greater demand on our office. There used to be a very big difference between the two industry groups, now they're both going to converge. Having a hybrid future relies on employee willingness to consider and adopt new practices and technologies and the company in support of the same thing. Someone who is moving around during the day has a significantly higher incentive to learn about new tools and become as fluent as possible with the resources available to help them become untethered. [32:30] If a company is listening right now and they're looking at managing their space and people in a different way, what are the top two tips that you would give them? Give people freedom and flexibility. Through space and time, whether that's in the office or between locations, their homes or a third place.  Present employees with choices and help encourage them to make the choice that you think will have the best outcome, as opposed to trying to direct them to do something specifically. [35:10] How should real estate brands like Bold and others in the supply of office real estate support customers going forward? My biggest recommendation for people in the flexible spaces is to have a greater awareness of the fact that corporate employees will be governed by corporate programs and messaging that are not obvious on the surface. [36:40] Quickfire Questions   Who is your go-to for inspiration?  Phil listens to several podcasts. His top three are: Distributed, with Matt Mullenweg, Brave New Work from The Ready and 99% Invisible. Phil likes being forced to think differently about design and architecture choices that have nothing to do with workplace. He finds it really provocative and inspiring. If you could wave a magic wand and change anything when it comes to company culture right now, what would that be? For us just belonging and being authentically ourselves, such as seeing the humanity in each other and using that to inform decisions and how we communicate with employees. Where is your favourite holiday destination? Phil was fortunate to have a sabbatical and travel through Asia. He would love to return to New Zealand and Australia with his family.

This week I interview Phara Policar, an exceptional person who is a volunteer at New York Cares, a Lupus advocate and a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for foster children. A little bit about New York Cares - They launched their relief effort in March with over 2,500 volunteers who have spent a combined 7,500 hours on 439 projects. Their services include phone banking and food packing and distribution projects. They conduct calls to seniors and other vulnerable citizens, to check in on their well-being and to ensure that they have access to vital items like food and medicine. NYCARES also recently launched virtual learning projects to allow volunteers to continue to support New York City students remotely.Prospective volunteers can visit newyorkcares.org for more information on how to sign up and for a listing of current project availability. Phara was also a guest speaker at the United Nations 2018 Global State of Volunteerism Report.

Host Danielle Holly speaks with fellow local change-maker Gary Bagley, Executive Director of New York Cares, an organization that provides New Yorkers opportunities to give back to the community by supporting local schools and nonprofits. New York Cares recognizes that logistical difficulties like long commute times, a lack of accessible transportation and language barriers can be a barrier to volunteerism, so the organization works to lessen these obstacles by providing a wide variety of projects encompassing different service types, geographic areas, languages and time commitments. Likewise, nonprofits can have difficulty recruiting and maintaining volunteers as a result of capacity challenges stemming from limitations on how much they are able to invest in operations. Gary and Danielle discuss how skills-based volunteering can make an enormous difference for nonprofits, helping them build strong human resources and project management practices and, ultimately, empowering them to carry out their missions more successfully.

This week’s guest has been someone that I’ve looked up to since 2013 when I first started as a volunteer for Safe Horizon. If you are at all interested in non-profit management or want to learn more about the issues surrounding domestic violence and the services available, this is the interview for you. Ariel Zwang has been the CEO of Safe Horizon since 2008. Safe Horizon is the nation’s leading provider of services to victims of crime and abuse. Each year it provides support to hundreds of thousands of people who have endured domestic violence, child abuse, human trafficking, and many other forms of violence. Ariel began her career at Morgan Stanley and the Boston Consulting Group and was previously the executive director of New York Cares, which, under her leadership, became the city’s largest volunteer organization, deploying 40,000 volunteers annually. Ariel received an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA in Applied Mathematics from Harvard College. Today we’re having a real conversation about some of the worst things people do to one another. Sometimes, we ask ourselves, “what can I do about that issue to help”? For many of us, there isn’t always a clear path. But you should be knowledgeable of what is going on around you and listen. You never know when you can make a difference in someone’s life.

Gail Anderson is a powerhouse of positivity who turned her love of volunteering and giving back into her life's work. In this episode we dive into Gail's motivation, mantras, and the movement she's building one small action at a time.

Today’s guest on the show is entrepreneur and strategist Holley Murchison. We met up in Grind, a co-working space in not too far from 34th street and talked about growing up in Harlem, yoga, Lisbon, life in the hood, gambling, debate tournaments, her grade changing scandal, engaging with high-end clients, how to fire someone, shifting cultures, volunteering, the keys to creating good stuff, active listening, speaking your truth and much much more. That’s enough intro for one show, please enjoy. More About Holley M.

Gary Bagley discusses New York City's largest volunteer management organization, which runs volunteer programs for 1,300 nonprofits, city agencies, and public schools.

New York Cares is the leading way to volunteer in New York City. This interview with Gary Bagley, the executive director, covers how they think about using data to increase meaningful volunteering in the city. 

Loren started experimenting in her mother's kitchen in 2007 with truly wholesome cookie recipes after overcoming cancer. She was determined to maintain her lifelong passion for delicious, first-rate sweets while eating as natural, unprocessed ingredients as possible. In 2009, completely healthy, Loren wanted others to have the chance to sample them, entered a baking contest --and won. It was then she realized she might have the makings of a business. In December 2010 Loren launched Sweet Loren's, her line of all natural ready-to-bake desserts. She sells her products frozen so they stay fresh without preservatives. Conveniently packaged, Sweet Loren's makes it easy for anyone to bake delicious fuss-free desserts that also fit into a healthy lifestyle. In 2011, Loren entered the Next Big Small Brand competition, a contest that seeks to identify promising artisan food businesses, and won that too (including the People's Choice Award). During this past year Loren was recognized by New York Cares as a 2012 Honoree, and appeared on the NBC Today Show. Most recently, Marie Claire magazine named her Top Entrepreneur in their Women on Top Awards where 16 women nationwide were selected. A native New Yorker, Loren is a graduate of the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Communication; Columbia University's Columbia Business Program, 2010-12; and is a certified Hatha Yoga instructor. She has also completed the Master Class in Cooking at The New School in New York and studied with The Natural Gourmet Institute.
