LBC #117 London Highlights, Toronto Community Week & 3-Year Celebration!

Hey there, fellow Community Builders! 👋

We’re back after a short break—and still buzzing from everything that happened at London Community Week.

From hallway hugs to hard-hitting insights, it was one of those rare moments where everything just clicked. If you joined us: thank you for showing up with so much heart. And if you couldn’t make it: don’t worry, we’ve saved you a front-row seat to some of the best moments.

🎥 Catch the highlights
We’ve been sharing interviews, talk summaries, and attendee reflections on LinkedIn—from Chelsea Choppy’s take on shared wisdom to Brian Oblinger’s insights on impact reporting. Go have a scroll—you might find a nugget that sparks something new.
