It's events like this that bring a community together. #TheCrucible Warm Up Edition. As a passionate event conceptualizer, I base the majority of my planning on how I want EVERYONE involved to feel when we finish. Every detail ensures that EVERYONE involved experiences a profound sense of accomplishment, camaraderie, and joy. MY UNIQUE approach stems from a DEEP UNDERSTANDING of JOURNEYS, EMPATHY, and an UNWAVERING COMMITMENT to creating unforgettable moments. It's NOT just about the competition; it's about fostering a community where EVERYONE pushes their limits, celebrates achievements, and leaves with memories that inspire them long after the event ends. #eventconceptualisation

Step into the intriguing world of door greeters and community engagement as we explore an unconventional meetup group in New York City dedicated to embracing failure. It's a place where members gather to share their unsuccessful ventures and lessons learned. Discover how a chance encounter in an elevator led to a profound realization about the value of a door greeter at events and gatherings. In this video, Tom unpacks the three significant benefits of having a door greeter: reducing social awkwardness, serving as a social lubricant for introverts, and building powerful social bonds among attendees. Learn how this simple addition can transform your events and communities, fostering connections, engagement, and a vibrant atmosphere. Effective Door Greeters embrace the "more friends equals more fun" concept and create meaningful connections on the dance floor of life. 🚪🤝🎉 #DanceFloorTheory, #CultureOfConnection, #EngageYourPeople, #TeamHuman, #Shorts, #CommunityEngagement, #DoorGreeter, #SocialConnection, #BuildingConnections, #SocialLubricant, #NetworkingEvent, #CommunityBuilding, #SocialBonds, #EventHosting, #ConnectingPeople, #EngageTheAudience, #EventValue, #CommunityRetention, #CommunityEngagement, #DoorGreeterValue

Eeeek! Excited to be partnering with Emerge Development Consultancy Ltd to start speaking about how businesses can support those living with chronic health conditions. The session I'll be running, 'My employer saved my life - how to support chronically sick employees', covers: - The current state of chronic health in the workplace - Real life stories of employers getting it right and genuinely changing people's lives, including my own - Tips, tricks and ideas you can take away and implement tomorrow - The business impact of doing this If you're interested in booking in a session with me, check out Emerge for the details. It feels both daunting and exciting to be speaking about this as I've been on a massive journey over the past 5 years, but I really believe that when it comes to diversity and inclusion we're currently missing a trick. 15 million people in the UK live with one or more chronic health conditions - that's 1 in 4 of us. That's a lot! We have a huge opportunity to positively impact people's lives, not just because it's good for the business, but because it's the right thing to do. Mission launched, let's go! #employeebenefits #chronicsickness #employeeexperience #culture #diversity #inclusion

Why should you take a walk with strangers? Because it's magical! ✨ Let me explain... In 2022, when I started working on Outerly, I wanted to meet people and learn about the main barriers to entry for outdoor recreation. So, I posted a group walk in DC on Meetup.com, and over 20 people showed up. None of them knew each other beforehand. None of them knew me (except one, thank you Caity!). But they all showed up to walk with strangers. It was absolutely magical to connect with people IRL and have conversations in fresh air. It gave me warm fuzzies I can't properly explain in words. I wanted to do it again and again. So I did. After hosting these dozens of times, what I realized is that the walking groups I participated in became unruly without curation. One time, I posted a walk and had 50 people show up with just me leading the charge. Another time, it was all men and me. Sometimes, they went perfectly well, but I found it overwhelming to socialize with 20+ people instead of being able to focus on just a few. That's where Outerly comes in! With our new Outings model, we're combining accessible city walks with small group matching to create this happenstance magic with hands-on curation. We have a goal of getting 100+ DC area strangers to join us for our first Outing on September 21, 2024. If you're in the area, come try it for yourself: https://lnkd.in/gYeizpsn If you aren't here, tag a friend who should know about what we're doing! ------- I'm Kay 👋🏼 I'm the founder of Outerly, a company that connects strangers for small group walk and talks in cities. Follow for more on loneliness, mental health, and the role of nature in urban communities. 🌿 #loneliness #mentalhealth #startups #

What Running Clubs Can Teach Us About Connection in Marketing Our recent T Garage research into social trends in Australia reveals a growing desire among Australians to connect more deeply with their communities, families, and friends. This trend, emerging strongly in the post-Covid era, also reflects a growing pushback against what some view as an increasingly individualistic society. One of the best examples of this is running clubs. These events, held at least weekly, see thousands of Australians voluntarily waking up early to run with friends and strangers. With 36% of Australians experiencing loneliness at least once a week (SaySo, 2023), such experiences are crucial for enhancing many people's happiness and well-being. Businesses can learn from this model of fostering real connections. Many of your customers are feeling stressed, isolated, and lonely. For example, one study found that 56% of real estate agents report always feeling stressed (RISE, 2021). Think about how your products and services might alleviate their stress and isolation. How can you delight and recognise your customers next time you connect with them? Imagine how excited they’ll be to work with you if you can! Consider ways to nurture connections within your industry. For example, organising meet-ups for tradies or sponsoring RUOK Day events for nurses. By showing your commitment to the community, you're not just fostering connections, you're also building trust and loyalty among your customers. For consumer companies, we can look to community initiatives like Peters Drumsticks' 'Help Clean Up Australia Day' promotion. Peters sponsored and promoted local events to unite communities and clean up their environment. This is a shining example of a business fostering connection and inspiring community involvement. When developing new initiatives, think about how you can help Australians connect with each other and build stronger communities. Be good to your community, and your community will be good to you! #tgarage #marketingpsychology #realestate #peters #culturaltrends #culturecast #marketresearch RISE initiative, 2021 Real Estate and Stress

As I was starting this new adventure, my husband asked me “What’s the connection between event planning and forming the mom community?” The answer was simple for me, the JOY of bringing people together!
