We believe leadership is a practice, not a position. Community Abundance is a place where we explore what happens when we shift from command-and-control to connection-and-curiosity.

I’m Lauryl Johnson, and I’ve spent my career as a product leader asking “Why?”—not to poke holes, but to plant seeds.

After years of watching brilliant, well-meaning teams get tangled in miscommunication, burnout, and bureaucracy, I realized most organizational pain isn’t about tools or process—it’s about trust. So I started building rituals, frameworks, and cultural scaffolding to make teams feel safe, seen, and supported.

Community Abundance is the next evolution of that work—a container for people who want to lead with love, live with purpose, and grow communities that thrive.

A world where decision-making is distributed, curiosity is celebrated, and every community thrives through compassionate inquiry.

We envision empowered networks of leaders—whether in boardrooms or living rooms—tackling big challenges together, with trust and mutual support as their foundation.

We equip individuals and organizations with simple, repeatable practices—micro-rituals, guided frameworks, and peer-led pods—that foster collaborative leadership and collective impact.

By nurturing a culture of inquiry, empathy, and lifelong learning, we help communities unlock their potential and drive change from the ground up.

We don’t sell silver bullets. We cultivate slow, intentional growth through:

Peer-Led Pods: Small groups designed for accountability, reflection, and mutual support—because we grow better together.

Micro-Rituals: 5-minute daily or weekly practices that reconnect you to purpose, people, and presence.

Guided Frameworks: Tools like the SANMAN method (Strategy, Alignment, Needs, Momentum, Agreements, Next steps) to bring clarity to complex conversations.

People > Process: Healthy systems begin with healthy relationships.

Curiosity over Certainty: Questions open doors. Assumptions close them.

Distributed Leadership: Everyone has wisdom. Everyone has a role.

Grace as Strategy: Growth is exponential, nonlinear, and messy. Let’s lead like it.

There are a lot of leadership programs out there. Here’s what sets us apart:

We treat emotional intelligence and strategic execution as partners, not opposites.

We don’t train leaders—we reveal them.

We don’t run top-down workshops—we host bottom-up conversations.

We design tools you’ll actually use and rituals that make sense in real life.

You’re in the right place if:

You’re willing to do the inner work and the collective work.

You’re a team lead, founder, parent, or community builder hungry for deeper connection and trust.

You’ve tried scaling through strategy—but feel like something human is missing.

You want to lead with integrity, not ego.
