The Importance of Place and Space, with Rachael Stott

On this episode of The Innovation Engine, we’ll be looking at the importance of place and space with Rachael Stott of Refraction. Among the topics we’ll discuss are how the physical environment of a workplace can have a marked impact on the performance of the teams that work in it, some of the research Rachael conducted over the course of a 3-year period to come to some of these conclusions, why the angle at which a chair can recline can actually influence the way meetings unfold, and how all of these ideas are being put into practice at a co-working space in Northern Virginia called Refraction.

Rachael Stott joins us to talk about all of this and more. Rachael is the Director of Refraction, a co-working space in Reston, VA for business leaders, creatives, and philanthropists. Refraction is a curated hub of creativity, collaboration, and innovation that helps businesses build more dynamic teams and grow their company.
