Community

from within

COUrse

A 12-week community-building companion experience that throws out the traditional predefined content delivered by an expert and embraces a mix of right-on-time expert guidance, small group mentoring, case studies from practitioners, and curated resources, all in the midst of the daily grind.

So that you can apply what you learn to your project tomorrow, not "one day".

Each group has only five spots available.

noun

noun: nocourse; plural noun: nocourses

A learning experience that gathers five other professionals that are busy planning, building, or nurturing an internal community of learning and practice within their company.

The journey starts with a strategy workshop and an individual audit of your current community-building stage, challenges, and blockers.

Once that's mapped out, we'll meet every week to strategically support your progress. Expect a combination of expert advice, workshops, use cases from practitioners, feedback, sense-making, mentoring, and coaching.

And the best part? You'll benefit not only from one person's experience and expertise, but from five other peers working on similar projects.

The content will be carefully curated to cater to your particular challenge and context and accessible asynchronously, assuring that the information you need reaches you exactly when you need it. You'll have lifetime access to a Notion resources database.

Between the live group session, you will apply the tools, frameworks, and steps we defined together. And don't worry if you hit a wall in between sessions: you can use our Slack community to ask questions and get unstuck.

What is this not?

A structured course with "an expert" sharing a predefined curriculum that doesn't adapt to your current challenges, priorities, and needs.

I highly recommend this course for anybody building communities for work or outside of work. It has accelerated my learning tenfold and actually made me feel confident saying that I am a community builder.

—Sophie August, Learning Curation, Experience, and Innovation at Baker Hughes

Anamaria's sessions are "Buy-1-Get-1-Free".

Most people signup for the content she is sharing. But the real value lies in subconsciously learning how she facilitates.

DATES AND

NEXT STEPS:

I can't wait to meet you!

I'm Anamaria, and I have been building global communities of learning and practice for the past four years.

I've built the L&D Shakers Community (5,000+ members) and the Butter Community (1,500+ members) from the ground up, and I approach the design process through a human-centered and co-created lens.

I designed this experience to be everything I needed when I stumbled into the world of community building so that your journey can be a little smoother.
