Myriam Hadnes is a behavioral economist. In fact, she has a PhD in this area. She is the host of the “Workshops Work” podcast which has been running since 2019 with over 170 episodes. The podcast is ranked by Listen Score as one of the top 10% most popular shows out of almost 3 million podcasts globally,

Myriam is motivated by the vision that we can change the world, one workshop at a time.

She curates the "Never Done Before" Facilitation Community. This community was born from the pandemic and has since grown into a paid membership community of 250 from all around the globe.

In her work, Myriam applies scientific insights about human behavior and group dynamics, along with her learnings from experts on her podcast to improve collaborative work..

In this podcast, Myriam and I talk about:

• What it takes to create a self-managing community and how she was able to make that happen
• How to empower community members to host sessions and take initiative
• The story about how the “Never Done Before” community evolved from a festival
• What the onboarding process looks like for new community members and the personal touches that Myriam adds to this process
• Why Myriam doesn’t ask new members to introduce themselves to the community as soon as they enter and what she asks them to do instead
• How she makes it easy for community members to meet each other
• Ways to help potential members decide if the “Never Done Before” community is for them or not and why it’s good to define this
• Why it makes sense to charge a fee for the community membership and how that adds value
