Community-Led Growth: Natural Wisdom to Strategic Reality

December 11, 2024

Human tradition and nature’s world offer profound lessons in community—helping us design communities rooted in wisdom as we create the conditions for organic growth. When we shift our perspective from seeing communities as an extractive tool for growth and instead embrace them as living ecosystems we build communities that foster true connection over transactional relationships.

 

In this episode, we chat with proven community builders and special guests: Tre' Cates, Director of nRhythm, Elliot Coad Founder of Ecologi, Izzy Ahrbeck Head of Community at Impact Hub Berlin and, Judit Sáez Gonzálvez Founder of Connection Camino and Community Nurturer at Regenerators as they share their stories and insights on how a regenerative mindset can transform the way we cultivate communities.

Founder of Connection Camino Community Nurturer at Regenerators

Judit Sáez Gonzálvez

Change nurturer, conscious leadership mentor, and regenerative strategist with more than 15 years of experience leading teams, nurturing communities, shaping organisational culture, and developing businesses across Europe.
I lean into complexity blending active listening and reflective thinking. Fluent in remote and hybrid environments, I lead with inspiration and compassion, empowering others to challenge the status quo while prioritising self-care and collective well-being. I embody change and experimentation, putting innovation, collective evolution, and mindset shift at the core of my work.
As a burnout survivor, I understand what disconnection means professionally and personally. Connection Camino results from my years of awe at what we achieve when we align with ourselves and each other.

Head of Community at Impact Hub Berlin

Izzy Ahrbeck

Tokyo-born to German and Canadian parents, Izzy's life has been fueled by curiosity and wanderlust. Having called 8 countries home, she currently resides in Berlin...for now. A lifelong storyteller, Izzy began creating "newscast" videos as a child, later becoming a freelance journalist and then immersing on film sets herself in Toronto's arts scene.

After working in film and music, she felt a lost sense of purpose, prompting a career switch and move to Barcelona for a master's in Sustainable Business & Innovation. Now, she is the Head of Community at Impact Hub Berlin and in her spare time, Izzy also hosts storytelling workshops for social impact. She joined the Berlin storytelling community in late 2020 and has won 5 "favourite story of the night" titles. But her favourite part about coming to THE bEAR is reconnecting with the very vibrant and diverse community of storytellers.

Ecologi Founder & Climate Startup Advisor

Elliot Coad

I am dedicating my working-life to the restoration of the planet by supporting ambitious impact entrepreneurs.

Having founded one of the fastest growing climate tech startups in Europe, I’m now using my experience and network to ensure many others achieve meaningful scale.
