BROADLEY/SPEAKING Community (http://slack.broadleyspeaking.co.nz)

The Vision

To bring the people who have done it, to the people who are doing it.

The Mission

Deliver the best advice, content and connections to help each member of the community at least once a week.

How are we going to acheive this?

Expectations of Us

As being part of the community you will receive insights, offers of help, and advice.

These are the following activities to expect at least once a week from us:

• We will source the best and most relevant events into our calendar in the #events channel
• We will post filtered, reviewed and relevant news in the #newsworthy channel (i.e. no sensationalist/click-bait articles)
• We will bring one new founder into the group
• We will grow the community through participating external advisors (i.e. investors, legal, financial, governance etc.)

Expectations of You

This is a community where there is a requirement of participation to help create the environment we can all benefit from, and not just some of us.

These are the following activities we expect at least once a week from you:

• Participate in the Friday 4pm check-in/reflection of the Good, Bad and Ugly parts of your week
• Ask for help
• Help someone
• Share a piece of content you've gained value from
• To tell one business owner who isn't part of this community, about this community

The ultimate question we want you to be able to keep relevant is asking yourself: "What's the last nice thing you've done for someone in this community?"

Don't want to participate?

For this community to have the quality that meets the vision and mission, it means sometimes we are going to ask people to join, and people to leave.

We understand life changes happen, and so does your focus. There is a commitment coming to this community, and we believe you get back what you put in.

If we see a lack of participation, we reserve the right to follow the below process:

• If you haven't contributed for two weeks in a row, we will get in touch making sure you're okay and if there's anything we can help with. Life changes happen.
• After a further week of non contribution (three weeks in total) and you are still non-responsive to the community, we will ask you to leave the community.

You are welcome to re-join when you have time to focus and pariticpate with the community. Don't think of this as a permanent thing.
