Build a Network That Runs Without You
Networks That Last, session 2 of 3
If every introduction, decision and reminder goes through you, your network can only grow as far as your time allows. Step back for a few weeks and it goes quiet.
This session is about building participation into the network itself, so members get value from each other and keep showing up. That protects your renewals and your reputation, and it gives you back the time to grow the network instead of holding it up.
What we'll cover
Why engagement drops when the builder steps back, and the structures that stop it
Getting members connecting and helping each other, so you're not making every introduction
A rhythm of content and conversation that keeps people engaged without adding noise
Raising attendance before, during and after your events
Making sure every member gets real value, so they stay and bring others in
You'll leave with a participation strategy built around the time you actually have.
Who it's for
Founders and organisers of business communities, professional networks, membership organisations and event series, at any size.
Hosted by Flavilla Fongang, founder of Sixth Hive and GTA Black Women in Tech, a community of 20,000, with more than 15 years building professional networks.
