For a longer time I felt isolates with my drive for learning. It was tough to find likeminded people:
- to exchange with
- to gain new perspectives
- to be challenged and challenge
Then I discovered online communities. And become a member in two strong paid online communities
- NessLabs > Main topic: Mindful Productivity > Community Leader: Anne Laure Le-Cunff
- Brand Built > Main topic: business, branding, networking, and coaching > Community Leaders: Nat Bearman, Darren Mass
Being an active community member influenced my path a lot,
The value I get from communities:
- Networking with likeminded people. How else can you get exposure to so many different perspective and at the same time all having one bigger uniting topic in mind.
- Accountability partners
- Support for each other. In highly engaged communities, it is awesome how people care for each other, provide their insights, lift you up
- Early stage insights on topics. I love that members have a platform to try ideas, collect feedback. It is a safe space to expose early stage thoughts.
- Access to collective wisdom
- I like the on demand possibility to engage. I often zoom in with a community, learn a lot, contribute. Then also have a break just to zoom in a little later again. Because topics are being recorded, discussion threads are accessible I’m not forced to be always online.
What makes these communities strong for me:
- Active members
- Super active community leaders
- engaging activities - e.g. weekly ceremonies, material shared, courses available, recordings
Thinking of growing your own community? I can recommend Circle.so or Skool as platforms. A comparison of both is available in the comments.
Especially for learning I experienced:
- the importance of accountability buddies
- the impact of using modern approaches to learning
- sharing progress, asking for help when getting stuck
A community supports this social aspect and collaborative learning.
Now, guess what: I’m soon opening the QuintSmart community. A vibrant community for fast and effectful learning. Implemented main insight I gained.
There is a real power in collaborative learning. Join the waitlist if you want to experience that too. (Link in the comments)
