“Stop using the word community. We all know community is magical but doesn’t come together by magic. It’s magical because it’s this elusive thing. So take the ambiguity out of it. Stop using the word and get more specific.” - Kai Elmer Sotto

People & Company’s theme of our last year was to refine the process we use to teach community building. How did it go? What did we learn? What will 2021 hold?

Kai, Kevin and Bailey sat down with our friend Marjorie Anderson, “Get Together” correspondent, for a no-holds-bar reflection. They dove into their coaching process, learnings with clients going virtual, and what’s ahead for 2021.

Note: we had some technical difficulties and audio is not as clear as always. 

Highlights, inspiration, & key learnings:

• About People & Company. Inside look into how People & Company strives to show up in the world.
• Personal year in review. Bailey, Kevin, and Kai reflect on big life moments in 2020.
• Communicating the value of community. Stop using the word "community."
• Looking ahead, 2021. Partnership as the north star for the work at People & Company.
