80 Community Builders gathered at the Community Leaders Club launch party: "Spotlight on communities which took place on Tuesday 5 July.
Community leaders now have their own Club. The Community Leaders Club guides community development professionals through the challenges of the profession. Our ambition is to shine the spotlight on community leaders who often learn their trade on the job: a mix of communication, marketing and sales skills as well as empathy, listening, coordination and interpersonal skills. A deeply human profession which is also tending to go digital.
The event took place at Lumen, the Cité de la Lumière, home to the Lyon Light Cluster. This exclusive evening enabled community leaders to :
– preview visit this innovative new venue: the Hub du Cluster Lumière.
– learn from shared experiences and views on community leadership duringa round table on "The Power of Communities".
- be inspired by a surprise conference on "how a community can make an impact to achieve its mission through its power". with a testimonial from Laurent Morel, co-founder of Time for the Planet. Thank you Laurent for accepting our invitation. and for sharing such a rich and impactful experience 🙏.
- connect and exchange ideas over a networking cocktail on the OUFTOP, the rooftop with a breathtaking view of Lyon from Lumen, the City of Light.
The rewarding and inspiring highlight was undoubtedly the round-table discussion which highlighted the importance of communities and their impact, reinforced by our surprise 'Key Witness' talk. To develop your community and fulfil its mission, a number of questions were raised:
- How do you animate your community? A look at the rituals, activities, content and events of the community leaders present.
- How do you engage your community? Sharing ideas and visions around community segmentation, defining ambassadors, achieving collective and individual objectives, etc.
- How can you measure the impact, success and satisfaction of your community? Discussions on the benchmarks to be adopted. NPS score, official Impact measurement, how deep should the data be collected and analysed?
A lively and rewarding round-table discussion with testimonials from Mirella Launay from Medef Lyon-Rhône, Alexandre Vallat from French Tech Lyon Saint-Etienne, Philippe Badaroux from Cluster Lumière and Claire Ribouillard from Assoproneur.e. Instructive and structuring testimonies, with reflections such as :
- Creating opportunities for members of the community to meet each otherIn particular, to create rituals that can be identified over time.
- Creating regular rituals is essential. They mark out the life of a community. These rituals can take the form of events, but also of content and resources shared regularly with the community.
- Setting up events "signatures"linked to the values and missions of its community.
