In our fast-paced, complex world, there is a growing need for human-to-human connections that transcend barriers and inspire empathy. We know that the simple act of sharing stories over a cup of coffee creates a powerful platform for authentic, vulnerable conversations. Welcome to “Connecting Over Coffee.”
With every cup, with every conversation, with every community, we nurture the limitless potential of human connection.
This is a safe, welcoming space where Starbucks partners (employees) openly share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, free from judgment or expectations. We invite you into this space to explore each story and the power of human connection.
At Starbucks, partners are empowered to discover and grow into their authentic selves. Join us for a conversation where Derek shares how he found a deep sense of belonging and the courage to keep moving forward.
