Where leading people come to learn about leading people.
The Leading People Community is for HR and L&D professionals, leaders, and coaches who believe that developing people — including themselves — is the most important work they do.

It doesn't have to be like this.
Leading people is one of the hardest jobs there is — and one of the least supported. Most managers figure it out alone, on the job, with no real community around them.
The Leading People Community exists to change that. It's a space to think, learn, and connect with others who take this work as seriously as you do.

WHY THIS EXISTS?
Gerry built this because the conversation needed a home.
After years of working with leaders, HR professionals, and coaches across Europe, Gerry kept noticing the same thing: the people doing the most important work — developing others — rarely had a real space to develop themselves.
There were conferences. There were LinkedIn posts. There were endless courses. Podcast guests who shared remarkable things. But there wasn't a place where the conversation could keep going. Where you could ask a question on a Tuesday and actually get thoughtful answers and useful advice. Where the research met the reality of the job.
The Leading People Community is that place. Built around the podcast, the newsletter, and the live Café sessions — but held together by the people in it.

ONE LAST THING
This isn't just another community.
There's no shortage of LinkedIn groups, Slack workspaces, and spam. Most of them go quiet within a month. This one is built differently — and it's built to last.
A community worth being part of.
