Hello ID@work Community, Thank you to everyone who joined yesterday’s connection call! It was truly inspiring to hear from each of you and to feel the collective energy towards creating impactful change together. Your active participation is exactly what makes this community so unique and powerful. One key outcome from our call was a strong interest in 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐬. These groups will each focus on a 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 that were identified in your onboarding responses – the very challenges that many of us are working to address in our own organizations and with clients.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Our community thrives on reciprocity – it’s about both taking and giving. By actively contributing, you not only benefit from the support and insights of others but also enrich our shared knowledge base, helping us all advance the ID@work mission. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥: Each working group will collaborate to create a pitch or presentation that helps all of us address these challenges with our clients. The outcomes will be shared with all active members to amplify the impact of our work. You are also welcome to join more than one working group if you feel inspired to contribute in multiple areas! Looking forward to seeing where we’ll take this journey together! 🌍
