Communities are built on trust. Trust is earned by providing value, repeatedly, over time. This is a snippet from our community-led growth workshop two weeks ago. Let me know how you'll give back to your community in 2025 in the comments

Gabriele Galassi, Global Head of People & Organisational Development at Wise, shared how organizations must provide the right resources to support well-being and performance management effectively. He emphasized that while designing a beautiful training on well-being is valuable, it becomes ineffective if employees don't encounter or engage with those concepts in real-time. To ensure impact, he highlighted the importance of offering tailored, on-the-go resources that address immediate needs. This discussion took place at our “Integrating Well-Being into Your Corporate DNA” event in Amsterdam. What resources have been most impactful in your personal or team’s growth? #Well-Being #TechCommunity

The atmosphere at last night's Sales Leadership Mixer was electric!✨ Thank you to everyone who joined us at Cafe Panache in Amsterdam. From engaging conversations to new connections, it was amazing to see sales leaders from the tech industry come together in such a vibrant and inspiring way. Here's to more events that bring our community closer and spark meaningful connections!💡 #TechCommunity #D2Event

A couple of weeks ago, the the D2 collective celebrated its 2nd anniversary, and I was lucky enough to be part of the campaign—nothing quite like seeing your face on posters around the city! 😂 Having been there from the start (I still remember sticking QR codes around Dublin to recruit members), it’s been amazing to watch how Erica and Nastie turned small meetups with friends into something much bigger. I’ll never forget moving to Amsterdam and joining a tech mixer where no one knew the founders in person - which it was the sign that they had broken all network barriers.  Now, with over 5,000 members worldwide and countless successful events, workshops, and projects, the D2 has built something special. Can’t wait to see what’s next for them - especially with D2 Talent in the mix!
