Building strong communities is more than just networking; it’s about laying the groundwork for support, innovation, and sustained growth. When struggling to move forward or solve challenges I recently experienced that the best way to move forward is to bounce ideas off colleagues, and peers in the industry. Seeing your challenge through a different lens can shine a light on new details and maybe even the solution. And shout out to Cristian Moldovan, who highlighted in a recent webinar on unifying Sales & Marketing, that often the solution we overlook is the lowest hanging fruit right before us. What's your take on exchanging ideas and exploring different perspectives when dealing with challenges? #Community #CollaborativeProblemSolving

Peer Networking is useful: duh. But how do you get your team or community to show up for each other and believe they have a unique perspective to share? I talked to three community builders who've mastered it. Check out our talk! https://lnkd.in/gKgSswm3 Max Pete, Grace Cheung, Mia Williams
