The Community of SEVEN, a leadership development program, was created by Lan Pham to bring people together in a community to help change the world for the better. The pivots and risks Lan took throughout her life prepared her for her role in creating the program, and she believes that living your purpose and values will help you achieve success in your life and in bettering the world. On this episode we discuss her love of micro-learnings. To help instigate positive change in a manageable way, Lan launched the 1% challenge whereby you improve some area of your life by 1% each day, which will in turn help you achieve your greater goals.
What is Community of SEVEN?
The Community of SEVEN was created to bring people together to change the world for the better. It is an intersectional, purpose-driven executive leadership development program consisting of two main parts: the core community, which is an invite only membership comprised mostly of C-suite executives and founders, and the supporter membership, which is open to all growth minded individuals and is intended to be a more affordable option. Community of SEVEN aims to create a community for each other where knowledge and thought leadership can be shared.
Lan’s background and the number 7
Lan has a rather unconventional background, beginning her career as an educator, working as a serial entrepreneur, and then landing in marketing. The pivots and risks she took in her life prepared her for the creation of the Community of SEVEN. Following layoffs due to COVID of Lan and her team of five individuals, they continued to meet, and with her daughter who often joined in on calls, they formed a team of seven. The number seven is also the ideal number of people for any meeting and productivity.
Living your purpose and values
Lan stresses the importance of living your purpose and your values – for her, that is focusing on family, friends, faith, helping others, and freedom. To achieve the goal of bettering the world, you must be in alignment with your values, purpose, and personal development.
Micro-learnings and Let’s Talks
The Community of SEVEN features Let’s Talk sessions as well as micro-learnings, which are open to anyone. Let’s Talks are conversations with a guest speaker where the audience can ask questions and participate. Micro-learnings are led by subject experts or career coaches who aim to teach you something.
The 1% challenge
Lan launched the 1% challenge, a challenge whereby you improve in some area of your life by 1% each day rather than attempting to make a major change that can often lead to failure. With the 1% challenge, small success can better stick and helps you to achieve greater success in a more manageable way.
