For those of you who do not know, 10K Humansis strictly a remote company with team members scattered across the world. It’s one of many facets of our success because we have physical boots on the ground in so many diverse locations. Logistically, however, it makes it incredibly difficult to get everyone together at the same time. We are so spread out geographically that it's even more difficult to get time on calendars so that everyone on the team can genuinely engage with one another and build meaningful connections.

Or at least, it was!

Enter the 10K Humans Vision Summit or EVS for short. Each summit will be held in a different region across the globe, spanning several days. The primary purpose of these sessions is to allow our global team members to come together in an in-person setting and build upon the comradery and team spirit needed to operate as a cohesive unit. In late October, we wrapped our very first EVS in NYC and included team members from as far away as Nejapa, San Salvador, and as close as Hoboken, New Jersey.

While operating remotely has opened countless {digital} doors for 10K Humans and enabled us to expand our offerings and services internationally, it's experiences like this that help to remind us that being physically present can be incredibly invaluable!

One of my colleagues and good friends who joined me at this first-ever 10K Humans Vision Summit summed it up perfectly by saying, “NYC was an epic event; full of education, vision, and team collaboration!”

Projects:
— Partnering with scholars across the academic landscape, we’re efforting to humanize the transgender population by understanding how they score on normal variables of personality and gender-stereotyped behavior. This large-scale quantitative project focuses on and engages with the transgender community as people, rather than as a clinical, pathologized population. Uniting academics from Loyola Marymount University, Northeastern University, and University of Rhode Island, this work aims to add to the incomplete body of scholarship on transgender people.
— Working alongside Lindz Amer and Queer Kid Stuff, we’ve conducted a multi-part brand awareness study to establish awareness of the brand and Amer’s new book Rainbow Parenting. In over twenty in-depth interviews and a rigorous quantitative survey phase, we’ve uncovered valuable insights into opportunities for customer engagement and opportunities to bolster customer financial support.
— Supporting HoMie, an Australian-based charity tackling youth homelessness, by testing innovative software from Research Goat. By conducting in-depth interviews via a variety of methods, we’ll unearth crucial insights about the customer experience at HoMie, and follow up with a large-scale quantitative survey to understand the charity’s reach.
— Assisting Hands on Tokyo as they endeavor to address disability rights and environmental issues in Japan. In response to one of Hands on Tokyo’s inspiring live events, we delivered a video reel and additional content, both featuring enhanced accessibility for Japanese and English speakers.
