#355: <Event Report> It's a waste to worry alone. How to make the most of the 'co-creation space' called TASU Green Leaves.

Held on Sunday, March 22nd, starting at 12:00, was the 5th alumni meeting of 'TASU Green Leaves,' a community for growing together.

I often say that 'leaders should save their decision-making cards and devote all their mental energy to creating the future and supporting others,' and today's session was truly the perfect place to experience firsthand the ecosystem of supporting local entrepreneurs and co-creation.

1. A space where gritty ideas fly in response to 'passion'

This time, the event was held in a practical style where one entrepreneur presented their business content and challenges, and all participants offered their opinions.

The presenter this time was Mr./Ms. Ota, who works as a 'flower coordinator who organizes workspaces.'

Mr./Ms. Ota's business is not just about decorating with flowers, but a business with a wonderful 'passion' to convey the atmosphere and corporate identity of the space, and to bring out the well-being (mental and physical health) of workers and corporate branding.

In response to Mr./Ms. Ota's consultation, a truly diverse range of ideas popped out from the participating members.

'How about linking it to spiritual elements by saying it's a flower that improves financial luck?' 'For workplaces with bad vibes, why not approach it like flower counseling by asking, "Is the mood tense here?"'

Such gritty yet unique tactics kept emerging one after another. This is the gravitational pull of a 'place' called a local community, which would never be born if you were sitting at a desk alone.

2. It is 'logic' that turns 'feeling' into business

Once all the wonderful ideas had been exhausted by everyone, I also gave a little bit of realistic feedback.

Businesses that deal with 'feelings' (emotions and sensibilities), such as flowers and space decoration, tend to leave the judgment of 'good or bad' to the perceptions and financial power of others.

That is precisely why 'logic and data (facts)' are indispensable for finishing it as a gritty business.

Instead of just qualitative words like 'it's healing' or 'it reduces stress,' make an effort to obtain quantitative data (academic paper data is fine) and show it in writing, such as 'if you introduce flowers for 50,000 yen a month, employee satisfaction increased by XX%.'

Rather than relying on talent or sensibility, 'logical thinking that is not swayed by emotions is the strongest weapon'. This is exactly the core part of the 'logic and actions that allow ordinary people to create gravitational pull' that I talked about in the seminar from 16:00 that day.

3. How to create 'white space' to get high-quality feedback

And finally, I told everyone one important thing.

What was wonderful about Mr./Ms. Ota this time was that they didn't just explain the business, but 'clearly presented what they were currently worried about and what kind of ideas they wanted from everyone'.

Because they exposed their weaknesses and worries and intentionally created room (gaps) for co-creation by saying 'I want you to help me,' they were able to gather active and precise feedback.

This is one of the important methods for creating the "gravitational pull" that draws others in. I encourage everyone to try imitating this "way of spending time."

4. You can break through your individual limits here

Although there were some first-time participants, the warm atmosphere where we could talk openly and sometimes seriously while sharing bento boxes is what makes TASU Green Leaves so wonderful.

It is a great pity that I could not speak with all the participants because there were so many people, but please let me talk to you again next time.

Why not take a "step that is uniquely yours" in this community instead of carrying everything on your own? Moving forward, "TASU Green Leaves" will continue to fully support the "connections" and "learning" of local entrepreneurs.

Thank you very much to everyone who participated!
