I’m neck deep into my research on extraordinary communities. I’m learning SO much as I read, ask questions and explore the fabric that holds communities together and adding it to all that I already know from my own work over the past 15 years.
YOUR ideas and suggestions have led me to some wonderful examples that are fascinating – so thank you for offering up your unique knowledge and experience.
At the moment, I’m compiling a list of the thing – the quality, the feeling – that sets an extraordinary community above and apart from others. I will share the beginning of my list here. As always, I would love it so if you would add to the list in the comments. I’m always enriched by the way you think. 🙂
