18. The Community Factory: Crafting Intimate Events for Meaningful Connections with Nicole Osibodu

Learning to Change

Welcome back to our series on creating impactful events. In the last episode, Liz Lathan asked the question, “You know what would be really fun?” To which I said, “Inviting Liz’s business partner at The Community Factory to talk more about fun and spontaneity in events and dream about what events could be!” So today, Nicole Osibodu joins me to dig into creating events that aren’t cookie-cutter and build real connections between attendees. She’ll also share about the first secret business trip and being barefoot in the boardroom. Nicole Osibodu is a hug-addicted visionary and human catalyst with a flair for the unconventional. Her strength is building and growing businesses through community that converts! For Nicole (and Maya Angelou), the road to success is paved by the people that are part of our communities. Together, we create memorable moments that live on forever in the stories we tell. She’s been fortunate to have been on teams that have built incredible moments for impactful organizations like The White House, Harpo Productions, created the world’s first secret business trips and even Austin's first women's professional sports team.
