Scaling Community Workshop
What could you do with a community that could grow on its own? Imagine if you could:
Scale your community without it consuming all of your time
Cultivate leadership so members gather and grow even when you're not in the room
Create a business model that fairly compensates you and your team
It’s all possible if you take the right approach.
This workshop will give you a roadmap to get it right, right from the start.
Who this is for
You're leading an online or IRL community and are exploring how to grow it.
You have a coaching, consulting or other 1:1 service and are looking for ways to go wider with your expertise.
You're building an online group and want to add an IRL event strategy (or you gather people in person and want to add an online component!)
What you’ll learn
A step-by-step approach to designing, building, and scaling a community.
The different types of community business models and what’s working now.
Paths to scaling your community without scaling your team.
How it works
Join us over Zoom. The workshop will include:
An overview of the above process
Key case studies
Q&A discussion
We’ll also send you a recap and replay after the event is complete.
Who are we?
I’m Tony Bacigalupo.
When I started working from home in 2006, I quickly realized that I needed to find a new way to get out of the house and work alongside other people. I soon discovered there was a burgeoning new movement called coworking that was bringing together other people around the world who felt the way I did.
I quickly got involved, eventually leading the charge to open Manhattan's first coworking space, New Work City. As time passed, I became an active participant and leader in the open-source coworking movement, which has been responsible for the word becoming a household name today.
Along the way, I got to be a part of the scaling of both open-source community movements (Coworking, Jelly, and BarCamp), and chapter-based ones (Girl Develop It, Cotivation, others). I learned all about the challenges of scaling community and the best ways to avoid burnout while setting up for long-term success.
I’ve since worked with hundreds of leaders to help them develop and grow their communities, both in-person and online.
More recently, I was Director of Community at Mighty Networks, where I worked with hundreds of people to develop and implement strategies for their growing paid online communities.
I’m Tatiana Figueredo.
I’m a community business strategist, teacher, and founder of The Business of Community, a learning organization helping community founders scale values-driven community businesses.
Before focusing exclusively on supporting community founders, I worked in international sales, marketing, product management, and grew my own community business to 2000+ members.
I believe our childhood experiences with connection and belonging play a major part in the communities and businesses we build. Part of my job is helping community founders unlock those experiences and leverage them to build stronger communities and thriving businesses.
