A personal story designed to inspire others through mentorship, belonging, and the way community leadership spreads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It tells the story of how a Torinese woman inspired everything I did in the WordPress community, and how that same inspiration can help others too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Italy to Switzerland, this talk shares how one person\u2019s approach to community building can encourage others to step forward and get involved. It follows a journey shaped by mentorship, trust, and a strong sense of belonging, and shows how these values helped grow and strengthen local WordPress communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond WordPress, the talk explores how the same open-source principles can inspire action in many other contexts, from local non-profits and youth sports or art clubs to broader forms of civic initiatives and participatory democracy. It is an invitation to see community leadership as something accessible, human, and transferable, and to imagine how shared responsibility and collaboration can help build a better world together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
