Happy Easter friends π° π Paz here.
Firstly - wow. Cohort #8 officially kicked off this week π
Welcoming these 116 CCβians across 18 countries has been a true honour.
Honestly this is what we live for at The CC.
And what an incredible signal this is that community building is the skill of the future.
Community is the new currency for building an impactful business.
More and more companies are investing in it.
And now more than ever. Especially with the world rapidly changing around us.
Such an honour to co-create our community container with CCβians to build something that genuinely changes how people do business.
If you feel FOMO for Cohort #8 (I would lol). We have late applications until 7 April π§‘
Anyway read on to meet our 15 new Ambassadors, hot jobs, upcoming events & an April Fools meme at the end to make ya smile.
Grab a hot cross bun and enjoy the read! βοΈ
