Is a 'Challenge' or Leaderboards the only way to get members to connect?

I am in the process of doing a 5 day 'challenge' which is rare for me to do. I dislike challenges as they sound and feel to me so much like hard work, and life for most people these days is already challenging. The challenging that I have joined is soft and quiet and not challenging at all which led me to thinking why did they call it a challenge?

I have not as yet named my leaderboards and am allowing them to do themselves behind the scenes precisely because I do not wish for members to feel that they have to achieve something, I love that members communicate and connect in the community because they want to. I do wish more members would connect and communicate for sure, and I am aware that the some members are always active but there seems also to be gapping silence from others. I will be transparent and say that I feel a little sad that more members do not interact and wonder if they are getting anything out of the community. Who knows?

THANK YOU TO THE MEMBERS WHO CONTRIBUTE AND SHARE I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL.

Anyhow... I have decided that when I do groups or 5 day .... blah... I will be calling them Invitations and Events. Something to join because you feel a calling and feel the invitation and welcome.

No challenges here as life has enough of these without inviting in more.

What do you feel? 💙
