Belonging Mindset Circle

The Belonging Mindset Circle is a free monthly peer circle for leaders and experienced practitioners working across community, place, inclusion, engagement, and social impact.

It is about creating someone in your corner when you're the one trying to create belonging for everyone else. Register your interest below.

I am creating this because I have spent much of my career trying to create better outcomes across community, place, inclusion and participation. This has often required:

  • Challenging systems

  • Trying approaches that hadn't been tried before

  • Advocating for community outcomes inside systems not designed around them

I fought quite a few of those battles alone against systems that questioned the very idea of belonging for difference and disadvantage.

The Belonging Mindset Circle is about creating someone in your corner when you're the one trying to create belonging for everyone else.

  • Someone who helps you belong to your ideas

  • Someone who does not question the outcome of inclusion and participation

  • Someone who can give you perspective that can help you decide your next steps

How it works?

  • You join the Belonging Mindset linkedin community.

  • I share a meeting link for a 1 hr belonging mindset circle each month.

  • You get to meet new people working with a belonging mindset.

  • One participant brings something they're currently navigating. A real challenge that they need to address to create the outcome of belonging.

We resolve a real challenge

  • One participant brings something they're currently navigating.

  • A real challenge.

  • Everyone gets to ask curious and clarifying questions.

ONE BELONGING QUESTION

If belonging was genuinely the outcome, what might we see or do differently?

No presentations. No pitching. No expectation that you have all the answers. Just people passionate about belonging, community participation and inclusion helping each other navigate work that doesn't always come with easy answers.

What do you gain

  • A community of peers committed to belonging, inclusion and participation.

  • You gain perspectives on your challenge.

  • You see how other people are dealing with their challenges.

What this is not

  • This is not therapy or a clinical setting.

  • This is not a space to sell/pitch services.

  • This is not a space for marketing and promotion.
