Fab Colab-9

That’s the name we gave ourselves after we met for two full days to experience this Leadership Community Building Workshop in April of 2020 – yes, shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic caused us all to transition our work to the online world. These leaders had their lives upended and they wanted to see what they could learn about a new form of leadership – Community leadership. What did they learn? I will let them tell you.

A few impressions of the Workshop

Great job! I appreciate you Lori and am thankful I was a part of your pilot group.

Thanks, Lori for doing this. I’m really glad I got to participate. This experience has really made me think about my experiences doing community building and kind of made me realize that I think due to my unique situation I haven’t had a lot of “community” experiences because I haven’t been my authentic self. I hope that makes sense.

Great workshop; really loved this experiential take on learning how to build community.

Lori, this workshop has been a master class in community building and I am so impressed with your ability to lead … gently and effectively! Well done!!
