In a world that is becoming more interconnected, building community has never been more important. However, despite this, people are feeling more disconnected than ever before. Building a community is not just about being physically close or having shared interests. It is a process that involves bringing together relationships, aspirations, and values to build strong bonds and create unity.
In this episode of Influence by Design, we discuss the art of building community with Sunil Bhaskaran. Sunil is a speaker, mentor, author, and has over 30 years of business experience reaching an audience of over 200,000 business owners through his educational and networking events
Sunil shares how he uses Meetup to organize and facilitate community-building events. He believes Meetup is invaluable for building and nurturing communities, as it brings people together to connect and collaborate.
Sunil emphasizes the power of face-to-face interactions in building genuine connections. While social media can facilitate initial connections, meeting in person allows for deeper relationships to form. In his events, Sunil creates opportunities for participants to interact and engage with one another, fostering a sense of trust and camaraderie.
This episode is for you if you are seeking to build and foster community in your own life. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a leader within an organization, or simply someone who believes in the power of connection, the insights shared in this episode can guide your community-building journey.
