Ep. 30 The Role of Community in Creating Change (The Great Full Community)

In this episode we gathered in a small circle of The Great Full community members to chat about what community means to us and our work. We discuss how we have experienced community in our own personal and professional lives and what impact it has had on us. We explore how communities are built, run and sustained and in what ways they help people on their journeys of driving, and responding to, change and transformation.

The topics we cover are:

  • How we each define community and how that understanding has evolved;

  • The importance of community in leading change and making a positive impact in the world;

  • The role community plays in collective care, shifting narratives and creating a sense of belonging;

  • Our key ingredients to foster to community;

  • How communities have supported us in navigating change;

  • How to start building community.

At the end we share some reflection questions for you to explore on your journey! You can find the questions here:

  • What does community mean for you?

  • When and how has community supported you in either responding to or driving change?

  • How do you actively contribute to fostering and building community in the spaces that you occupy?

  • Where in your life or work, do you need the support of a community right now? And where might you find it?
