How to harvest the power of a professional community / Natalie Kuhn / Circle #03
As a service designer you never stop learning.\n\nBut as you may have noticed already textbooks will only get you so far.\n\nPretty quickly you'll want to discuss details and nuances of our practice that aren't easily captured in traditional literature.\n\nSo how do you continue developing your skills once you reach that point?\n\nIn the old days you would join a guild. The bakers, blacksmiths or brewers.\n\nToday these guilds are more commonly known as professional learning communities.\n\nThese communities offer you the opportunity to learn from others, find support and provide the space to reflect on your work.\n\nBut a community doesn't magically appear right in front of you.\n\nSo in this episode you're going to hear how and where you can find a community where you feel at home.\n\n--- [ GUIDE ] -\u2014\n\n00:00 Welcome to the Show\n03:00 Who is Natalie\n04:15 What is a community\n09:45 The limits of online\n14:15 Growing through engagement\n16:00 Starting a community\n23:45 The importance of ownership\n25:45 Longevity of communities\n31:15 The catalysts\n34:45 Enabling interaction\n39:15 Trust and vulnerability\n42:15 Deep versus wide\n46:00 Closing thoughts\n\n--- [ CIRLCE ] -\u2014\n\nJoin our community our in-house service design professionals at the Circle.\n\nhttps://www.servicedesignshow.com/circle/
