It's Coach Question Friday when I ask you to consider a coaching question.
What does community mean to you? How can you help to create it?
These coaching questions were inspired by the entrepreneurial community in Fargo, ND, and TEDx Fargo that I discussed in episodes 94 through 97. #TEDxFargo

What is a Community?
For me, a community is a group of people that support each other and…
- A community does not have to be limited by geography.
- A community can be virtual.
- A community should not be stagnant. Community members should come together on a regular basis and be open to new discussions.
- A community welcomes new people who add energy, engage in different ways, and generate new ideas.
- Members who left the community can be regarded as alumni or alumna.
- Members who left are welcomed back to re-engage should they decide to rejoin the group.
- Communities should have fun together and enjoy each other’s company.
- Community members keep learning and taking risks together.
What communities do you belong to? Consider these communities:
- Your family
- Your neighborhood
- Professional associations
- Online groups like LinkedIn groups or Facebook groups
- Employees at the company you work for or own
- Individuals at your co-working space
- Alumni of schools and training programs you’ve attended
How can you add more value and energy to your communities?
