Content support, Co-working, Community – TeamGDI

Want a GodDamnInspirational community to support you with your words (and whatever)?

Every single day in TeamGDI, with help from the wider group, I’ll give you ideas to inspire and improve your written content, copy, or communications…

For profit – promoting your product, selling your service, or getting that promotion.

For purpose – communicating with your teams, advocating for your loved ones, or making an impact in your world.

For pleasure – documenting your experiences, sharing your thoughts, and generally enjoying the impact of becoming more skilful with your words.

TeamGDI is made up of freelancers, employed folk, and people looking at what’s now and what’s next. There’s no main demographic, and diversity of thought, outlook, and experience is what binds us.

In our small but mighty micro-community, you’ll get support not just with your words, but with life, work, and everything in between. Good sense of humour essential!

In a shell of nuts (not our collective noun), though there are no masterclasses, training sessions, or formal resources to offer, what your £48 per month gets you in TeamGDI is…

1. My eyes on your words.

Where most writing or business-based communities bizarrely only allow you to submit your stuff on the third Thursday of every month, between the hours of 4.15 and 5am, and only if there’s a crescent moon looming dimly in the sky, in TeamGDI you can submit whenever you like and get my feedback and flair on your words within hours. The only caveat is that if you take a lot from the group, you give it back, in turn. See Point 2.

2. Extra perspectives.

As with Point 1, in hoping that you’d do exactly the same for them whenever they submit their stuff, your fellow TeamGDI-ers will be there to share their thoughts, views, and ideas on whatever it is you want to put to them. This could indeed be related to your writing, but it can also be for your business or life in general. Honestly, if you’re comfortable to share it, we’re here to listen to it and support you. We’re experts and finding flaws – and helping you face and fix them!

3. A simple, secure & lovely 24/7 platform.

Our micro-community is hosted on Mighty Networks, and it’s ace. Post your thoughts, share your ideas, ask your questions. Get to know people at your own pace, in your own style, and in your own time. Posts can be text, docs, pics, links, polls, videos, or even gifs! There’s a space for everything you can think of in life, business, and beyond. And don’t worry, you can mute anything that doesn’t keep your vessel buoyant. Not everything needs your time, and the only person in here with that responsibility… is me.

4. Capped numbers.

People join, people leave, people come back again. At all times, we’re capped at 40 to keep it micro. Big enough to present you with a range of creative ideas, fresh perspectives, and diverse opinions, but small enough to make sure you feel like you can really know, approach, and truly trust your tribe. We’ll champion you where necessary, but challenge you if that’s needed, too, because we can all be a bit blinkered/ stubborn/ arseholey, at times. There’s no such place on the internet where that ISN’T a small likelihood, unfortunately…

5. Fortnightly community calls.

No obligation to attend and no pressure to speak, though EVERYONE in TeamGDI is offered the floor on these calls. Share what you like, contribute in whatever way you’re comfortable, and get to know everyone more personally. Talk about writing, work in general, or whatever’s happening in your everyday life. Structure is loose, but I steer a steady ship. These are real lives and real connections, so there are sometimes tears, but there’s always laughter! Nothing is ever recorded or shared outside of the group. This space is safe. This space is yours.

6. Weekly online co-working.

Time blocked out in the weekly diary to get on with a bit of writing (or any tasks on your list, really) can be a great way to keep yourself accountable and make good progress – and so can the fact that you know everyone else on these TeamGDI sessions is turning up to do the same, too! Keep cameras on if you’re comfortable, but mute those mics so we can’t hear you shouting at the other half/ the cat/ Loose Women in the background. Two sessions every week, with each one made up of a series of 25 minute ‘sprints’ and 5 minute breaks throughout.

7. Pop-up prompts.

On the first Monday of each month, I’ll place a writing prompt in the group for anyone who’s up for the challenge. In addition, I’ll host and record a short video workshop to relate to the task, and will welcome any Q&A on a designated thread. As always, the Copy Review Space is open 24/7 for this task – or for any writing you want or need to get feedback on. See Points 1&2!

8. Access All Areas.

I don’t believe in inner circles, popularity cliques, or VIP opportunities. If you’re in, you’re in, and if there was such thing as a guest list in TeamGDI, you’d be on it, my friend. There are no favourites in this group, no first-come-first-served, and everyone’s treated equally. There’s no tiered membership or hierarchy here, folks. Please enjoy anything and everything that our micro-community has to offer!

9. A chance to promote.

Whether it’s your business, your cause, or your passion project… go ahead and shout about it. What the hell kind of community (of any shape or size) wouldn’t give you the opportunity to talk about the stuff that keeps a fire in your soul and a roof over your head? Believe me, if it gets spammy, though… someone will call it out…

10. No tie-ins.

That’s right – before you’ve even joined, I’m saying you can leave. Any time. Your month starts on the day your secure payment leaves your account, and you’ll always be given the chance to say goodbye (if you ever want to go). I’ll warn you that most members do end up coming back, though… eventually. Definitely #NotACult, however…

11. Monthly ‘Business Out Loud’ call.

On the second Tuesday of every month, ‘BOL’ supports business owners in our group who need an idea, a steer, or just to get clear on the next steps for their business. We can look at your messaging (of course), but we can also look at aspects such as your offers, services, and positioning. There’s a different focus every month, and it’s guided by our very own Sarah Burgess. The sessions are reflective and proactive, so whatever you need, let’s boost your business!

12. HUGE discounts on Sorted in 60®.

I left this until the last point. I wanted to check I could keep you reading and have you fully hooked on all the other joys of TeamGDI before I wowed you with the financial incentive of getting a huge amount of cash off my signature one-to-one offer, should you want to book one. Need me to find and fix the mistakes you’re making and the tricks you’re missing in your messaging? Get your Sorted in 60® here at a special price reserved solely for our community!
