Best Of

I work remotely at a coworking space in my hometown on certain days of the week. The community there is supportive, kind, empathetic, and fun. Even though few of us work for the same company, it's incredible how much we can learn from each other. If you're in Southeastern Wisconsin, check out The Loop Commons in Burlington.

The Smartsheet Community is incredible, also I recently had the chance to experience community at a local level. Our company sponsored a food drive, and it was heartwarming to see everyone pitch in and help those in need. It's a great reminder that community can take many forms and make a real impact

Smartsheet's community has been the best I've seen and used to date. It is easy to search whether the issue/question you have has been asked or brought up by someone else and if it hasn't, it is easy to post it to the community. Smartsheet has the best SME's and users to help troubleshoot some of my most difficult "problems". 98% of the time my posts have been resolved and some with multiple solutions which speaks to how things can be solved multiple ways and from different perspectives.

The community that I am most engaged in is a FB group that works with my county to give away/ask for free items. I only recently moved to my county, so this has helped me explore different areas of the county. I am becoming more and more familiar with the area and getting to know my neighbors in the process. It's really nice in Harford County!

Well considering the Smartsheet Community is a given… 😉

When I lived in my last apartment, I was part of a local Buy Nothing online community; generally the aim of Buy Nothing groups is to give away items or ask the community for items - no trading, no payment. We had participation from all walks of life, people contributing, asking for help, helping others. We had community leaders to help organize and moderate. It was unexpectedly one of the most positive, collaborative groups I've ever been in!

Of course I want to say this Smartsheet community! 😍

However, I want to try and switch it up. A community that has been really helpful is a weight loss community that I have joined online. Folks post encouraging each other, sharing their frustrations, and providing their tips and tricks. For something that complicated where it is easy to get discouraged, I definitely appreciate having these folks to share in the struggles!

Hey Community,

Loved your responses to last month’s question. We've got everything from money detectives to wizard assistants among us, and I’m sure any 5 year old would be very impressed. 😉 I also noticed many of you included images that looked like they jumped right out of a children's book — a very nice touch!

Now, get ready for another chance to connect with your peers, and of course, add a shiny new badge to your collection.

About Question of the Month:

We kick off each month with a new question. These monthly ice breakers are just one way to help you get to know your Smartsheet peers and rack up some badges and points in the process.

Everyone who participates by answering the question prior to the end of the month will automatically receive a unique participant badge once the question closes at the end of the month.

In addition to the participant badge, the top three answers based on Community member votes will receive the Top Answer badge. To vote on an answer click on the upvote icon associated with an answer in the comments below. Multiple votes allowed and encouraged!

The Smartsheet Community is up there with one of my favorite communities but I do have to say, i experienced community last Friday. At my work, we all work virtual, and we love to give back!

Group of us were able to volunteer our time at a community volunteer based thrift store, where all proceeds go back into our community. It was truly special to see what each volunteer does behind the scenes and really changed my perspective on how i donate, and what i donate. Community is all about coming together for a purpose, whether its big or small.

On the flip side, I love my Smartsheet Community and you guys have taught me so much, i've been lucky enough to grow my community in LinkedIn through Smartsheet as well.
