LCB #63 [ 🎁 inside ] CMX Awards, Community Everywhere Summit Workshops, and Brian's Story.

Hello Community Friends, Francisco here 👋 

This week, we are featuring our Dear Friend Brian Oblinger and his story.

We are almost wrapping up this not-free of challenges, 2023. 🥲 🎁 

As you know, at Led by Community, we aim to keep delivering value, putting professionals like you in the spotlight so the rest of us can learn, and the inevitable consequence is that we Grow Together!

Here are a few stats that might be interesting to you: 

We have crossed 2K readers of this newsletter
We have 850+ members on the event's hub powered by Gradual.
We have crossed 400+ members on the Slack Hub!
Our website now receives an average of 2.5K+ unique visitors monthly!

And this growth would not be possible without every one of you! 🙏 

So here we are giving you a special gift for this time of the year 🥁

We have created a section on our site for you to enjoy selected Community Everywhere Summit sessions. We are starting with the workshops delivered by Jamie Langskov, Richard Millington and Brian Oblinger.

Also, I am letting you know that we will take a break starting the 15th of December and returning recharged on the 10th of January with our new Coworking Program for Q1, 2024. (Link to save your seat below)

That’s it! That’s the short intro for this week! Keep scrolling to enjoy this week's updates on the content experts and community builders generated.

With 💜 and care,

Francisco and the team of volunteers: Ruthie, Aleksandra, Akash, Zaynah, Ismot, Dhanashree, Nicola, Valentina, Imogen, Merlinda, and Piper.
