We called in Industry City CEOs, head honcho-types, business owners, and entrepreneurs for a new type of event… After hearing from business leaders on campus, we learned they were not only interested in building community with others but were in need of professional resource sharing and ideas. So we hosted a happy hour - and while everyone mingled, we facilitated interactive ways for them to ask for support from other leaders and provide guidance to one another. Many tenants are heads-down in their work, finding it hard to stop and socialize with other folks in our community. Through hosting an intentional gathering, we saw meaningful connections being built in real-time. 📈 It was community in action and we were honored to help facilitate the moment. We can't wait to watch how this cohort of business leaders impacts Brooklyn and beyond. We look forward to hosting more tenant events like this in the future. If you’ve engaged with interesting group prompts or networking activities - feel free to drop ideas below.👇 To learn more about joining our community of tenants, check out our website. https://lnkd.in/eAJ22mGs #IndustryCity #ProfessionalGrowth #Networking #WorkEnvironment #BusinessLeaders

Rise and Shine! Raleigh area Coffee with Leaders hosted by the Raleigh Chamber was such an incredible event yesterday morning. I was able to share more of my story and introduce ways to be inspired by nature in growing and analyzing the health of your business and ecosystem. Here were some of the takeaways that resonated with the more than 60 area leaders who joined: 1. Ecosystems and systems-thinking inspired by nature to fuel business health and growth. 2. #coexisting in a space where #holistic health + living boldly can coexist structurally. 3. For those structural engineers in the audience - a correlation of keystone species in an ecosystem with the keystone in a structural arch to all business leaders identifying the keystones in your business! 4. Be a beaver. Strategically working to impact and engineer their ecosystem! 5. Driving Population Health as a community priority is possible on all projects, thanks to a tool @Perkins&Will launched entitled Precede. 6. Design your career - intentionality plus setting goals 7. Invest in an annual solo ‘MEtreat’ to focus on goal setting towards your Life’s Work! 8. Celebrate Milestones There was the buzz that carried folks into their day with a charge to ‘BEE the Change!’ Let’s keep focused on bringing more life and vitality to our community.

So Simple, So Genius I had the chance last weekend to participate in a National Association of Community and Restorative Justice (NACRJ) Community-Building Circle ahead of their 2024 annual conference. They've set these events to foster connections and conversations among attendees both before and after the conference. It had been a tough week and I almost skipped out on this due to the expectation of engagement. I'm so glad I didn't. It felt restorative and really energized myself and others around connecting with each other, even if we're scattered across the country. This is such a smart way to cultivate relationships before going into a large conference. Something to think about for all you event planners out there. 😊 #circle #dei #restorativejustice Liz London, Terrini Woods, Carolyn Stilwell, Glenn Millar, Russell Rowe, Brandi Fischer More deets about this process below... _______________________________________ About Circle Process Circle processes have their roots in Indigenous cultures around the globe, stretching back to ancient times. Circle values and practices are now known by many names, such as: community-building circles, peacemaking circles, talking circles, or simply "circles." In-person Circles usually include the following elements: - People are seated in an open circle, with no obstructions between them. - The group comes up with guidelines or agreements for behavior in the circle. - Conversation moves around the circle so that each person in turn has an opportunity to speak if they want. Often, a "talking piece" is passed around the circle. The person with the talking piece is invited to speak if they wish; all others listen. - There is some kind of opening and closing ceremony, observance or activity. Virtual Circles (VCircles) are an online adaptation of the circle process. While they differ from an in-person Circle, many circle elements are incorporated for a virtual space. The VCircles are intended to build connection and community during this time of physical distancing.  

✨BOARDS DIVERSIFYING THE BOARD ‒ WHY? Nobre Ordem para a Excelência Humana-NOHE 🔸A diverse #board reduces the risk of disconnection between board members and the communities they serve. 🔸A diverse board increases public confidence and #accountability 🔸A diverse board ensures a fresh, creative and lively leadership. 🔸A diverse board means a mix of #skills, #knowledge and experience that gives the board the #flexibility and #resilience to overcome #challenges. ✅ DIVERSIFYING THE BOARD ‒ HOW? 🟠 Build and present the case for board #diversification: ▫️Use #demographic data of the population your centre aims to serve and compare it to your board composition. Is the board reflecting this population? ▫️Based on that analysis, suggest ways to diversify the board. ▫️Explain clearly the benefits for your organisation and its #mission. 🟢 Recruit board members beyond your personal, ▫️Circles be open to expanding recruitment to board members of varying backgrounds, perspectives, ethnicities, professions, age groups and #socioeconomic statuses. ▫️Revise your organisation’s board recruitment #strategies to expand outside of its current network. ▫️Consider the types of people you’re hoping to #recruit, and revisit your board #pipeline accordingly. ▫️Connect with individuals actively seeking board service opportunities like on channels like #BoardSource and LinkedIn for Nonprofits. 🟣 Address if new board members feel included 🔲 Shifting to a more inclusive board is not a simple process. it requires intention, action and #discomfort on the part of existing board members. 🔲 New board members cannot be expected to simply assimilate to an #organisational and board culture that feels unwelcome or uncomfortable. 🔲 The integration of new board members requires a #conscious cultural shift from the existing board members 🔲 It is the #responsibility of every member to strive for #inclusivity. ____________________________________ 🌐 Thank you for being on this journey with me. 🎗️ I wish you all the best in your prosperous path. 💻 I HAVE AN EXCITING PROPOSITION FOR YOU!

I was just working away at my home desk, chatting to the cat and listening to the radio when it occurred to me how much I am looking forward to next week's #northants and #buckinghamshire peer2peer Boards meeting. I am really looking forward to catching up with the group and; 🔹 Hearing what's hot and what's not in their businesses this month in our round the table updates. 🔹 Learning more about one of the members in our monthly 'Spotlight'. What insights will we learn this month? 🔹 Delivering a workshop called 'Sharpen Your Market Focus'. Deliciously simple but very effective this one. 🔹 Seeing accountability in action in our 'Challenge the Board' session. Did everyone complete the actions that they committed to last month? 🤔 🔹 Listening to members committing to specific steps they are going to take within their businesses in the month leading up to the July board. If you run a business and would like to learn how being part of a #peer2peer board can help you, please get in touch. We exist simply to create boardroom communities where you will feel connected, inspired and supported. Come along as my guest and give it a try. #conversationsthatmatter #workingtogether #businessgrowth #accountability #success #trust We are members of Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce and Milton Keynes Chamber of Commerce
