who is Baily hancock?
“Very bright student, but talks to classmates too much.” - Nearly every teacher Baily’s ever had
Baily Hancock is a connector, collaborator, and catalyst for community success. She’s confident that community, connection, and collaboration (or as she calls them, “The 3 Cs to Saving Humanity”) are the keys to our survival as a species and the quickest way to feel less alone in this world and succeed together. Most people get why “The 3 Cs” are important in theory, but lack the understanding of how to build community, connect with others, and collaborate vs compete - that’s where Baily comes in.
As a Community Architect and Strategist, she helps individuals and organizations conceptualize, launch, and grow successful communities, acting as a guide from idea to implementation to iteration, and everything in between. Baily combines her MBA and operations mindset with three decades of experience running communities and being a member of many to offer a well-rounded perspective on what makes communities and the people within them thrive.
During her time as a Community Strategist at Mighty Networks, Baily supported hundreds of Community Creators with setting goals and measuring effectiveness, problem-solving and brainstorming new ideas, and acted as their trusted sounding board and Strategist. She also facilitated workshops, masterminds, and product training sessions to help people learn how to run successful communities and understand the intricacies and possibilities of the community-hosting platform.
Baily now runs her own company called Overlap Collective offering 1:1 consulting, Blueprints, Playbooks, and workshop facilitation. She shares her thoughts and expertise on community, connection, and collaboration as a podcast guest and speaker, as well as in her keynote talk, Substack, podcast, and book-in-progress all by the same name, “Seeking the Overlap: Connecting Deeply in a Deeply Disconnected World”.
