Part 2 of our Podcast with Dr Robin Dunbar - renowned anthropologist, Head of the Social and Evolutionary Neuroscience Research at the University of Oxford, and the mind behind Dunbar's Number - focuses on community building and loneliness in the modern workplace.

In this episode, Robin compares organizations to intimate villages, we dive into the history of community in the workplace, and the profound impact of remote work on team dynamics.

We discuss the challenges of maintaining team cohesion in a remote work environment and strategies to keep team dynamics alive.

And we question, should creating a sense of belonging be a primary focus for HR people?

Join me for a captivating conversation with Richard Bartlett, a community builder, whose personal journey has inspired him to help others find connection and solidarity in an increasingly digital world.

Richard shares his experiences of growing up in a close-knit, religious community in New Zealand, his struggle with loneliness after leaving his home, and how his involvement in the Occupy Movement sparked an interest in cooperative, non-hierarchical connections.

Rich unveils his unique community-building framework, micro solidarity, which he has used to create a network of community organizers and even a Micro Solidarity Summer Camp in Berlin. 

We tackle a range of topics, from scale sensitivity to power dynamics, exploring how embracing differences can lead to harmonious connections within groups of varying sizes.

As we navigate the world of digital platforms for community building, Richard offers his insights on how tools like Zoom, Discord, Telegram, and Spatial can foster strong connections. 

We discuss the importance of having an organizer with a solid plan when hosting gatherings and the role of inclusivity versus intentionality in event planning.

Closing the conversation, we examine the impact of social media on community building (particularly Twitter X) and how it can be used to create meaningful connections, encouraging listeners to use these platforms as a way to connect in the physical world.

Tune in for an insightful conversation with Richard Bartlett on personal growth, community building, and the power of connectivity on and offline.
