Oner Active’s Post

Two nights ago I attended my first Suits & Sneakers event. My interpretation of it all was that it was a community of people who want to tap into something deeper within themselves so they can impact their world. Community is EVERYTHING! The keynote, “Relentless Relevance” was delivered by Richard Mulholland, with whom I’d had the pleasure of a healthy disagreement with about his views on empathy (thanks again for emphasising it’s not ok to take things at face value from “thought leaders”) 😁 My 5 key take outs were 1. Don’t get caught fighting yesterday’s war. The battlefield is changing very rapidly. 2. Trends do not equate to relevance. Relevance is the state of being appropriate to the matter at hand. 3. Innovation doesn’t start when you do something new, it starts when you stop doing something old 4. Good service is defined by how well you do YOUR JOB. Great service is defined by how well you do your NOT MY JOB. 5. Flaunt your flaws Thanks Mark Sham and to your team for a great event.

Have you ever come across a business, initiative or project that just felt like a 'good fit’ for its host community? Have you ever found one that didn’t? In an article recently published with co-authors Dr Brent D Ryan and Daniel Campo, I studied 43 Makerspaces across Northeast USA to better understand how these communities and spaces ‘fit’ within their social and built environments. What we found has wider relevance to creating social investment programs and designing projects that fit well within their host communities. Makerspaces are physical places where people go to make things, to learn skills and to be a part of a community. Moving beyond the conventional focus on explorative learning and entrepreneurship, our study examined the value of makerspaces through a community-centred, culturally oriented lens. We found that makerspaces acted as a resource for their host communities. They tended to bolster locally significant culture, character and production practices. We described this as ‘cultural reproduction.’ Cultural reproduction helps us to describe how makerspace tap into and reinforce the unique qualities of their host communities. This is an exciting contribution, because it can be applied elsewhere and offers a language to talk about how projects, investments and initiatives contribute to – and potential hinder – the uniqueness, authenticity and value their host community. I plan to write more about this in the future. For now, the article is published open source, so it’s accessible to everyone – university affiliated or not. I hope you get some value from it. https://lnkd.in/eHDRyRxJ

"What Women Want" with SIS Community Last month, we collaborated with a women's community called SIS (Sisters in Souls) for their community launch event. In this event, we introduced one of our personal development programs, "What Women Want." This program invited women from various backgrounds to reflect on their life journeys at this stage, as we believe that each individual has their unique path to discover and embrace. 🌸 Pause The participants took a moment to "Pause," briefly stopping and closing their eyes to fully experience their surroundings. They relaxed their muscles, allowing themselves to be immersed in the ambiance while listening to the soothing flow of music. This exercise aimed to enhance their sensory awareness and bring a sense of calm. 🌸 Self Introduction The unique introduction through the "Faces Card" instantly warmed up the atmosphere. Each individual was invited to choose a card that best represented them and share their personal story, character, and current emotions with the group. 🌸 Sharing Stories In the sharing session using Intuitive Coaching Cards, participants were guided into a deep introspective moment, reflecting on their life journeys. Many shared their past memories, present stories, doubts, joys, and future dreams, often revealing the hidden reasons behind the events they are currently experiencing. The entire session was led by our facilitator, Andy Kertadjajadi, a licensed intuitive coaching card facilitator. His calming presence and positive energy created a warm, uplifting environment for all participants. It was truly a rewarding and inspiring day! "Empowering minds, igniting hearts." #PositiveVibesOnly #EmpowerYourself #IntuitiveCoaching #SoulfulJourney #MindfulMoments
