Hi wonderful Sydney peers!    I've been blown away by the wonderful causes everyone supports, the range of companies we work at and sectors we all work across (thank you to everyone who shared this in an intro post),   Who would be interested in a regular, online call to connect, share more about the causes we are supporting, and the work we are doing? We could run a (light) agenda, and have a few members "present" each time, as well as a bit of social connect time.   If you are interested, please fill out this form to pick a day/time/frequency: https://airtable.com/appgCoMzjkB5OhyEZ/pagPedkDRA2mWi7C8/form   Looking forward to learning from you all!   @karnjanveja @Patrickg @Naomi @finderful @Donal @Mark_Reading @Ryan Delzoppo @Anastasha from Gradcut @Sebastian_Robertson @msheargold @jencains @melanie-vtx @Olivia Tyler @steveking @KateK @BijalSolanki  ...

Hi hi my wonderful #Sydneysiders - announcing that 📚 SOCIAL IMPACT BOOK CLUB IS LIVE! 📚 We are very excited to say that our first session is now LIVE to register (link in comments) for Sept 12, and we will be discussing Lean Impact by Ann Mei Chang 🤩 The format we have chosen does NOT rely on you needing to have read the book each time, you are still able to attend, gather the key learnings, and participate in the Q&A/ discussion to increase practitioner knowledge. Format below: - Fully online book club, meets every 2 months (with summer break) - Books announced prior to sessions to allow time to purchase & read - Each session has a volunteer to lead it - volunteer picks the book (must be social impact aligned, non-fiction) - First 5-10 mins of the meeting is a casual chat/icebreaker - The volunteer will present for 15 (ish) mins on the book - key learnings, takeaways, their thoughts (this can be as structured/unstructured as you wish) - Other participants are encouraged to add questions into the chat - Volunteer presenter will answer questions/ start the conversation from there Please register if you are free to attend, and please also let us know if you are interested in hosting a future session with a Social Impact text of your choice: https://events.humanitix.com/social-impact-book-club-1-lean-impact-by-ann-mei-chang   @melanie-vtx @jencains @BijalSolanki @KateK @Olivia Tyler @msheargold @Sebastian_Robertson @Shrav  ...
