Ok, I'll go first. As per this post, I'm now full-time on Community Hacked go ch 🙌

Who's next?! 😁

After a few weeks of radio silence on the job hunt front, I was finally updated that I'd move forward with one company. Even if it's just one teeny tiny bit forward, it's something and it really helped my mood. Thanks for allowing this place to hold space.

Hate to be that person….but I’ll hopefully have a win next week!

Last week, i published the 20th episode of the Beginner Maps podcast - where I talk to community professionals about their careers!

Launching this was my win of last week!

📣 Here to announce my win!! Officially launched my community (waitlist only right now) - I can finally feel more like a participant and less of a lurker in this Slack!! ❇️

Started a PT contract role this week 🙌

Congrats to @Jessica Spivack for getting a new role at Hampton as Community & Events Lead 🙌 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jessica-spivack-lowenstein-52b2a962_hampton-activity-7[…]269011046400-Q2mO?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

Appreciation Post: Thank you so much to @Anna Santiago, @Richard Hoffmann and @Danny Wurst who are being extremely helpful in supporting with Community Hacked right now. There are some cool developments coming for the community slowly but surely, like a v1 Member Hub with summaries, transcripts and recordings of past events and pods, plus, the CH socials are starting to actually having a cadence and direction 🤣. These are all v1s, but hopefully they'll be helpful/useful as a starting point. All being made possible with the support of these 3 awesome peeps 🙏 🤩

My win for the week: after about a month of officially building our community, we hit 5️⃣ 0️⃣ official members!

My win of the day is (finally!) securing a mandate at Voyagers (voyagers.io), a global community of 2500+ impact entrepreneurs in climatetech and healthtech. I’ll be helping to find sponsors/partners to further support the mission, without compromising the high-trust, tight-knit nature of this organically built group. Excited! 🚀

Small win. Win nonetheless. Love when members share impromptu feedback that leads to a low lift tweak to help improve engagement 👏

My win for this week is that Community Pros of London reached the heady heights of 100 members overnight! 🎉 We aren’t building it for numbers but it is still nice (and a reason to celebrate?) when you hit a milestone figure like that. For any London based members here who might be interested in meeting up with your fellow community professionals do consider joining, we would love to see you there! We focus on IRL get togethers as we recognise there are brilliant online spaces for professionals to connect and support each other (like of course, here at Community Hacked). Next meet up is 7th June in Borough. Full deets 👉 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-pros-evening-meet-up-tickets-616408352977

We ran our second event in the London Chapter yesterday and it was a huge success, 65% show rate, 70 engaged attendees and 3 sponsors who made the event profitable for us and are keen to continue working with us Some key learnings: • We put a lot of effort in facilitating relevant connections at the event, rather than just putting people in a room. ◦ We printed name badges that included a) the person’s biggest challenge they need help with & b) what they can help others with. ◦ We also created conversation corners for people to talk about specific topics like fundraising. I always hated networking events & I was a bit scared we would struggle to differentiate from the ordinary networking event, so relived that this wasn’t the case. ◦ Our sponsors were able to share their expertise in the conversation corners & found this was great to engage with potential customers in a non-salesy way • Curation matters! While we didn’t actively select attendees, we were very targeted with our promotion (through cold email & networks) + had very clear messaging meaning that we had exactly the right audience in the room and no transactional selling happening, which helped create a true community atmosphere
