"To be community-led is to have community at the centre of our decisions."
Rosie Sherry is the founder and CEO of the Ministry of Testing, the leading community of practice for software testing professionals. She’s an expert at community building and writes and researches around the subject via Rosie.land.
She advocates for community building, indie-pendence for life choices, neurodivergence and home education.
I saw Rosie on stage recently where she spoke about the importance of community and the role it plays in uniting people and shaping business.
We discussed her obsession with community for connection rather than for ROI and how her community of software testers are asked to speak, sometimes for the first time to fellow members at the annual conference.
Rosie lives in Brighton where she and her husband ‘unschool’ their 5 children and run their business and several successful communities! I’m exhausted just thinking about it! A fabulous conversation.
