For community architect Claire Perry-Louise, the often overused and somewhat clichéd word “community” means connecting people through shared experiences, shared values, or shared identity.

Claire doesn’t just advise others how to create community, she hosts her own. She founded Like Hearted Leaders so she and the people she’d met through a Do Lectures course could continue their conversations. Now, more than two years later, people gather for one-on-one conversations, masterclasses, group discussions, and more.

In her chat with Ben, she describes her route from solicitor to author to community builder, discusses the importance of psychological safety, and invites us all to pay it forward.
