Podcast appearances and mentions of charles vogl

We often hear the advice, “You just need to find your community.”It sounds simple. Hopeful, even. But it can ring hollow for anyone who has tried to do it, and for those in leadership roles where they carry the additional burdens of responsibility and visibility. And it's especially fraught advice for anyone who has experienced relational trauma.Because true community isn't something you stumble into. It has to be built, slowly and intentionally. And it's often uncomfortable and messy when we're healing from experiences where reaching for connection resulted in hurt and betrayal.But human beings are wired for connection. We long for it. And we're more disconnected from each other than ever.The remedy for our loneliness is in the slow, awkward, sacred work of showing up and staying, even through discomfort and disagreement. If we lay foundations of shared dignity and respect, we can build courageously honest relationships and community in those uncomfortable spaces. My guest today joins me to explore the intricate journey of building a true community, one that transcends buzzwords and embraces the courage to be vulnerable and honest, to disagree, repair, and stay genuinely connected.Charles Vogl is an adviser, speaker, and the author of three books, including the international bestseller The Art of Community.His work is used to advise and develop leadership and programs worldwide within organizations including Google, Airbnb, LinkedIn, Twitch, Amazon, ServiceNow, Meetup.com, Wayfair and the US Army.Charles holds an M.Div. from Yale, where he studied spiritual traditions, ethics, and business as a Jesse Ball duPont Foundation scholar.Listen to the full episode to hear:How a seemingly simple ritual of Friday dinners turned Charles's house into a community hubWhy investing in community building will always require some amount of intention and effortHow Charles's experiences working for social change shaped his skill for bringing people together around shared purpose and valuesThe difference between true community and what Charles calls “mirage communities”What holds leaders back from creating spaces where real relationships and community can be builtThe importance of “campfire experiences” for developing trust and admirationWhy we need to invite others in, not just announce our plans and hope they show upLearn more about Charles Vogl:WebsiteConnect on LinkedInThe Art of Community: 7 Principles for BelongingLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:The loneliest people (and places) in America, Andrew Van Dam | Washington PostMarissa KingCloud Cult - You'll Be Bright

The Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, has recently warned of a loneliness epidemic in the United States and has cited research suggesting that loneliness can be as toxic to our health as 15 cigarettes per day. Unfortunately, societal trends do not support people getting together in real life. Attendance at virtually all community gatherings is on the decline, whether we are referring to social groups, religious organizations, or even picnics.Sadly, our 35,000-year-old brains are not wired for the isolation we are experiencing these days. Our social brains crave community and togetherness, and even the most introverted of us need some communal connection, but we rarely know how to do it or where to even look.And that is why I'm so happy to speak with Charles Vogl (https://www.charlesvogl.com/). Charles has spent time in diverse communities such as the Peace Corps in Zambia, Yale University where he did his master's degree in spiritual traditions, philosophy, and business., and here in Silicon Valley where he has served at Google's Vitality Lab. He is the author of a book I loved called The Art of Community: Seven Principles for Belonging. Charles speaks about the principles that help communities thrive and why we need them. I agree with bestselling author Richard Leider, who said of the book, "At last, here is an insightful guide to create the community you have envisioned for yourself and others." Amen, brother.   So, listen in as Charles and I talk about the art of community.

Today, we're living in the loneliest time in history. Despite the marketing campaigns from major social media companies claiming to be able to connect with one another, technology, globalization, and urbanization have driven humanity at large to be more isolated, disconnected, and disengaged than any other time in human history. Charles Vogl has made it his mission to help reconnect us and to build better communities. Charles served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Sub-Saharan Africa where he worked on justice for human rights abuse and providing rural health care for his host village. Later he created Broken English Productions documentary film company in NYC. His PBS projects won numerous international awards, including the Amnesty International Movies That Matter Award. He then began advising and developing leadership and programs worldwide within organizations including Google, Airbnb, LinkedIn, Twitch, Amazon, and the US Army. Over the course of his work, Charles has authored numerous books such as, “Building Brand Communities: How Organizations Succeed by Creating Belonging,” “Storytelling for Leadership: Creating Authentic Connections” and the book that we wanted to chat to Charles about, “The Art of Community: Seven Principles for Belonging.” Charles sat down with us to discuss the consequences of the epidemic of loneliness in America, and how you foster a strong community through connection, boundaries, and genuine care.  At a time when only 15% of workers are engaged at work, and layoffs are sweeping across industries, it's more important than ever to create strong communities within the workspace.  So, with that…let's bring it in!

Our guest for this episode is Newton Cheng, a father, world class powerlifter, engineer, and Google's Director of Health and Performance. In his work he leads a team with the mission to support the physical, mental, social and spiritual health and wellbeing of Google's global workforce. We went into this conversation looking to compare corporate wellness with tactical human performance, but we came away from it with so much more. This wide ranging conversation covers everything from the importance of mastery practices to making meaningful social connection their primary measure of effectiveness. While Newton works in a space that is very different from the military, it is astonishing how many of the points he made are directly relevant to challenges we face. At times it felt like he had been in some of the same meetings we have. He argues that retention means ensuring talented people flourish in your system, that quantitative data may not be the most important thing when considering health and wellness outcomes, and that vulnerability is a superpower because of the way it enables meaningful social connection. He also spends some time addressing his personal experience with taking mental health leave from work, and if that's something you want to hear more about, he speaks about it frequently in numerous other forums. If you're the kind of listener who wants to follow up on all the interesting references Newton provides, here they are: He recommended the work of Dr. Lauren Whitt, Google's Head of Resilience. He suggested Ken Wilbur's Integral Theory and Paul Gibbons' work on The Science of Successful Organizational Change. He discussed how he was influenced by Miyamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings, a classic book on strategy that is rooted in martial arts but has gained new popularity in the strength training community. He highlighted the value of Charles Vogl's The Art of Community for leaders seeking to build a culture of belonging in any organization. He cited Gallup survey findings that people who have a best friend at work get more done in less time, support a safe workplace with fewer accidents, are more likely to innovate and share ideas, and have more fun while at work. He highlighted Microsoft's Work Trend Index, and especially its emphasis on increasing rates of employee burnout.

Venessa Paech is an internationally regarded online community strategist with over 25 years of experience building community online. Venessa is also a PhD candidate studying the intersection of AI and community, and a global authority on communities and community management. In the first Cohere episode of 2023, Venessa joins Bill Johnston and Dr. Lauren Vargas to discuss the quickly evolving role of AI in our digital experiences, how AI is currently playing a role in online communities, and what the future may hold regarding our collective relationship with AI. Key Quote: "It's still a relationship business. It's just we now have relationships with tools and machines in a new way:  in a more anthropomorphized way and in ways that mimic our own thinking and behavior sufficiently that we do need to recontextualize them. So how do we do that in a way that still prioritizes and centers the human work of what we're doing and brings us to those core community protocols of: How are we building a healthy, thriving, constructive space for constituents? is it accessible? Is it productive in meaningful ways? Is it relevant? And honoring the context, always honoring our context, which is one of the biggest problems we do see with so many different sorts of automated and or AI tools, is they tend to flatten and standardize context because that is how they operate. … But for community, which is typically a smaller, more intimate, and more nuanced sort of cluster of relations and ties, that does not work.”    Resources From This Episode: All things In Moderation Conference:   SWARM (Australia's Community Management Conference):   Australian Community Managers:   Books: by Kate Crawford by Carrie Melissa Jones and Charles Vogl by Howard Rheingold by Adrian Speyer by Howard Rheingold Venessa's scholarship:   Where to find Venessa:

The loneliness epidemic isn't a secret. Even before COVID, Americans were feeling more isolated from friends, from family, from their colleagues, and from themselves. We know that the problem is pervasive, and we know that it applies to all types of organizations. How do you attract and retain the right people, if they don't feel loyal to their colleagues or to the company?  Author, speaker, and adviser Charles Vogl argues that there are evidence-based practices for creating community. And he's not talking about retreats or grandiose gatherings. He's talking about changing a company's culture so that it fosters real connection, like the comfortable, discoursal, inspiring comradery we feel when we're sitting around the campfire. That's the kind of connection that generates ideas and an environment of support.  Life-altering circumstances like a global lockdown can put some companies at risk. But when everyone feels loyal to the brand, they feel loyal to one another. Then, the company can develop the resilience to pivot and persevere when necessary.  Charles Vogl is the  best-selling author of three books, including The Art of Community, Building Brand Communities, and Storytelling for Leadership. He's built programs and advised leaders at companies like Amazon, Twitter, and Airbnb; he also serves as a thought leader for the Google School of Leaders and has taught workshops and trainings for The Yale Leadership Institute, The Harvard Law School, and the U.S. Army.  Find Charles on LinkedIn: and at

Guests Rich Bowen | Paul Berschick Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! On this episode, Richard is at the FOSS Backstage 2022 that is held in Berlin every year. This conference focuses on open source sustainability. He had the opportunity to interview people who were there in-person and talk about software sustainability, what they hope to find in FOSS Backstage, talks they did, and a bunch of other good stuff. Our first guest is Richard Bowen, who's been doing open source stuff for over twenty years, most recently at Red Hat, and just started working at AWS in the open source group. We also have another guest, Paul Berschick, who is one of the organizers of FOSS Backstage, and does Open Source Events at Plain Schwarz. Go ahead and download this episode now to find out more! [00:00:58] Rich tells us what he's doing now since leaving Red Hat. [00:02:13] We hear about Rich's talk he did on, “Delivering Bad News: Helping your community through a rough patch.” [00:04:45] Rich shares his thoughts on what happens when incentives don't align. [00:07:40] If you want a great read, Rich tells us a fantastic book to look into called, The Art of Community: Seven Principles of Belonging by Charles Vogl, as well as sharing advice to hang out with other Community Managers and to listen to his talk if you want to learn something. [00:10:25] How does Rich sees the role of Community Managers going and how does he think of community? [00:14:25] Find out where you can follow Rich online. [00:15:47] We now have Paul Berschick joining us and he tells us about Plain Schwarz. [00:17:02] Paul explains how much FOSS Backstage has grown since 2018, including the pandemic and how that changed. [00:21:35] How is Paul working to recreate and enable the amazing connections that he makes with people through FOSS Backstage for people who are remote? [00:25:28] Richard wonders how Paul has noticed, given his place of an event organizer, that his particular clientele influences how he builds these spaces, and if it changes how he views things because he does open source stuff. [00:27:52] Paul shares how he feels he's helping the ecosystem as a whole besides just having a one-off conference. [00:30:47] Does Paul feel FOSS Backstage could do better at accessing the rest of the long tail open source developers? [00:33:31] Paul shares ideas with having satellite events in other places where there's a more diverse listenership and how would that work. [00:35:24] Find out where you can follow Paul online.

Why so many brand communities (and even social cause communities) fail is because they are not truly communities. They are simply a collection of people. For a community to thrive for the long term, you need mutual concern, ongoing stewardship - and yes, empathy. If you build it without that - I promise you, they won't come. My guest today, Carrie Melissa Jones shares how to build a successful community - and also how to avoid costly failure. Today we talk about why most brands fail at community building - please don't repeat these mistakes! Why empathy is the key to community design, and how we can cultivate empathy for those we interact with online. She even outlines the first step you need to take if you are building a community from scratch. So many great gems in this episode, and you can check out her book for even more. Key Takeaways:Social networks or social media are not the same as community. The key to community is mutual concern with trust as the cornerstone.Research is important to understanding what your desired community needs. Connect individually or in small groups with those key people who can help you understand what is important.Building a community does require design thinking with empathy, because you're building a community of humans.If the community is not helping people make progress and connection, they will stop participating. "What makes community really unique is that unlike watching a webinar where you could learn something and solve a problem on your own, some problems can only be solved by collective organizing and collective action." —  Carrie Melissa Jones About Carrie Melissa Jones:Community Builder & Researcher, Author, Founder and Chief Strategist, Carrie Melissa Jones ConsultingCarrie Melissa Jones is an author, community builder, and researcher of online communities.

LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS A brand community needs to serve both the individuals and the organization. A brand is any organization that promises value. A mirage community is something that a brand calls a community but has no substance or connection. Seven areas where communities can serve organizational goals: Innovation, talent recruitment and retention, customer and stakeholder retention, marketing, customer service, advancing movements, and bringing people together. It is vital to know 1. Who you want to bring together, 2. Why they want to come together, and 3. How they want to grow into something new or better. Despite brand communities needing to serve the business, they must also serve individuals. No one wants to join a community that just wants to extract from them. We are living in the loneliest era in human history. People are desperate to be more connected. Invite people to join your community. QUESTIONS TO INSPIRE US TO ACTION What is some lesson, saying, or experience that continues to influence your leadership to this day? Experience serving in the Peace Corps—specifically observing a communal way of living and the need for justice. Use three descriptors to finish this sentence: “A leader is…” Patient, humble, and committed. What is a question that leaders should be asking either themselves or others? Do we really understand what is going on here? What book would you recommend to leaders? The Trusted Advisor by David Maister, Charles Green, and Robert Galford If you could get every listener to start doing something THIS week to help them be a better leader, what would it be? Make sure you are not doing it alone. As a general life principle, is it better to ask “why?” or “why not?” Why?” because we need to know the reason we are committing to something.

People are lonely in today's world. Before Covid, 50% of people reported feeling alone. And these people who report feeling this way are not those you would imagine- we are talking successful executives, professionals, high ups, etc. Additionally, our world has become so tech-oriented, that a large gap in authentic communication has become even more prevalent in our generation. And while there is a thirst for real relationships both in and out of work, even at social gatherings, there can be an unnatural feeling as people are so used to communicate via text instead of in real conversation. So how do we create meaningful community? How do we create connections that bring out the best work of those around us? Our guest, Charles Vogl has devoted his life to helping people feel more connected, unified, together, and therefore productive and fulfilled.

We long to belong. The desire to be a part of a community is a fundamental human yearning, yet broad swaths of Americans have never felt more isolated. In fact, four out of ten report regularly feeling lonely, and very few have more than two people they consider confidants. Why is this happening? What can we do about it? Is there an opportunity for businesses and organizations to fill the void? And if so, how do we design for belonging in brand communities? Today, Jeffrey takes a deep dive into the concept of belonging with executive consultant Charles Vogl, author of The Art of Community: Seven Principles for Belonging. Charles describes his personal feelings around being an outsider and discusses the top three trends contributing to the loneliness epidemic in the US. He shares his experience at Yale Divinity School, explaining the pervasive ‘crisis of belonging’ on campus and how that phenomenon informs his current work. Charles also offers his definition of community as shared mutual concern and discusses how brands might foster genuine connection among a customer base. Jeffrey asks why leaders and event planners miss the mark, and Charles uncovers the necessity of facilitating shared experiences and investing in the growth of diverse groups. Listen in for insight on the value of story in revealing what a business values and learn how you can build a brand for belonging.

"Strong Communities help people support one another, share their passions, and achieve big goals. And such communities aren't just happy accidents- they can be purposefully cultivated" -Charles Vogl, Author of The Art of Community

Bart Campolo thinks his kids are the best in the world. Well, not objectively speaking, right? Well, sort of! I mean, he really prefers his kids to your kids. But he hopes you do too. Is that right? Is that okay? And is there any problem with that sort of 'us-them' mentality?On this episode, Bart and Humanize Me producer John Wright attempt to answer a question from listener Daniel, who's concerned that in-group/out-group thinking could have a dark side:"A common critique I hear about religion is that it fosters an us-them mentality. Humanize Me, the episode with Charles Vogl in particular but in general also, says that 'us-thems' are not only fine but good. We should have 'us' groups, we just shouldn't mistreat our 'thems'. Where it gets sticky for me is, at what point does a preference for one group of people become mistreatment of another? And to me that begins when we say that not only do we prefer a certain group but it's right for us to prefer this group. When Bart talks about his instinct to treat his child better than another child, to me it sometimes sounds like he thinks that instinct is right, or justifiable. It's one thing to not feel guilty about it and acknowledge that it's perfectly natural, but it's another to think of it as right. So to me, when I cultivate loving relationships with people inside my group, goes to 'It is right for me to favor my people', it's only a matter of time for me to mistreat someone without realizing it was mistreatment. The other problem I see when embracing us-thems too unreservedly is that when you feel justified sticking to your 'us' group, you don't get challenged on your beliefs or values or ways of thinking and it becomes an echo chamber. So, my question for Bart is: Do you see any problems with creating communities with distinct definitions and fostering loyalties to those communities and, if so, at what point does this whole thing become negative or unhealthy? Thanks guys."If you're thinking it's a damn good question, well, that's what we thought too.—Got a question for Bart to answer in a future show? Call the ‘Q Line’ at (424) 291-2092.Enjoy the podcast?

Tonight on APEX Express, Powerleegirls hosts Miko Lee and Ayame Keane-Lee check in with documentary filmmakers and writers including Mike Siv on Daze of Justice, Sahra Nguyen on Deported and Charles Vogl on New Year Baby and his latest book The Art of Community. We hear the latest about immigration, deportation, storytelling and community. Deported five part miniseries trailer Deported screening in San Francisco January 31.

In this NYSAIS-Now interview with George Swain at the 2017 Tri-State Annual Conference for Heads of School, Charles Vogl describes the inspiration behind his recent book, The Art of Community. Drawing from thousands of years of religious studies and his own work training leaders, Vogl discusses how to build communities, become a role model for children, and effectively create change.

While a grad student at Yale, Charles Vogl organized a dinner series. Using principles distilled from 3,000 years of spiritual traditions, he created a community connecting himself and others. (Some of the) Seven Principles of Belonging: To craft our communities, Vogl proposes we welcome new members through some type of initiation. He also tells us how to implement rituals (formal and informal) and create "temples" or sacred spaces for community gatherings and ceremonies. Borrowing a term from C.S. Lewis, he speaks of "Inner Rings," the most complex concept in his book. Inner rings can be the mark of a mature community. They are made up of experienced, wise people who teach and mentor newer members. No Magic Formula: We should not feel overwhelmed trying to apply all seven principles of belonging. Instead, by using even one or two principles of belonging, we can strengthen a community. According to Vogl, the key to success (and a nice place to begin) is making sure the important people in our life know we care about them.

Charles Vogl served in the US Peace Corps in Northern Zambia. In a place very foreign to him than what he knew in Southern California. Charles lived in a mud hut with a grass roof and a mud floor. And he learned a cherished lesson of how the bravery of others can change people’s lives.

Strong communities help people support one another, share their passions, and achieve big goals. And they don't magically occur; they can be purposefully cultivated, whether they're in a company, a faith institution or among friends and enthusiasts. In today's episode, executive consultant and author of his new book, "The Art of Community: 7 Principles for Belonging," Charles Vogl lays out seven time-tested principles for growing enduring, effective and connected communities.
