The Power of Community

👋🏻 It’s been a while

I haven’t sent out a newsletter in a while, but a recent experience has fired me up to revive this ol’ thing. I’ll talk more about that experience later on, but first of all if you want to unsubscribe because it’s been so long that you forgot you subscribed, feel free to. No hard feelings!

Moving On…

I wanted to talk about the power of community based on an amazing recent experience of mine; attending my first tech conference!

Community, the people you choose to surround yourself with, can be incredibly powerful. Your community can empower you and others by fostering connections through shared experiences. Your community can remind you that you are not alone in your journey. Your community can help you in your career which in turn will allow you to return the favor down the line.

All of this was presented to me last week when I attended THAT Conference. The people I met were so kind, warm, and welcoming. The best part? They all wanted to help.

Moral of the story? Never underestimate your community, and if you are not part of one, start surrounding yourself with people that can lift you up.

Something to think about

Clark Sell, founder of THAT Conference, opened Day 1 with this and I wish it was said more often. I am guilty of trying to solve people’s problems but am taking this in my day-to-day life moving forward.
