When Shear Team Connections encourages you to 🔊 Lift Voices to Enhance Community Building 🗣️ , it doesn't mean forcing people to be extroverts, or putting people on the spot to speak. It means that there's got to be intentional effort put into creating genuine moments of connection beyond the Zoom calls or conference rooms. It means that you're checking in with yourself and building up your own self-awareness toolkit so that you can grow better at meeting others where they are. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected community. 🏘️👥 Share your story, amplify voices, and make a difference. Let's rise by lifting each other up! 🚀📢 #YaFeelMe #CommunityBuilding #LiftVoices 

Every day, our lives are touched by the actions and interactions we have with others. Recognizing this isn’t just polite; it’s essential. It’s not about me, it’s about how we all contribute to our community. Acknowledging every helpful tip from colleagues, every meaningful conversation, and the simple acts of kindness we encounter daily goes a long way. It’s about being aware and thankful for these moments that connect us. I want to extend a sincere thanks to everyone who’s been part of my day, in any small or significant way. Your impact is real. It’s these contributions that build a positive, supportive community. Let’s keep this momentum of positivity and kindness going. It’s not just an individual effort; it’s a collective commitment to improving our shared spaces. #gratitude #communitybuilding #positiveImpact #kindnessMatters #customerservice #customerexperience #customerexcellence #customersatisfaction #customersatisfaction

https://lnkd.in/eg2DphPQ Sharing a quick article on our latest events and ambassadors! I am incredibly humbled by these voices and the bravery amazes me as each individual truly steps up to the plate to speak about their true struggles. It is not easy. But it is needed - and so many relate and are impacted by these voices. 🙏🏼 PROJECT BLACKBIRD INC. #cannesfilmfestival #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealthawarenessmonth

I've done it now! Decided to be brave and create a Kindness Village - it's a community that mixes personal and business challenges. We all have something to learn about our wellness, and any business challenges that we may hit a wall on. The ultimate vision for a Kindness Village is to create a place where kindness is the norm, and every individual feels a sense of belonging and purpose. It’s a community that exemplifies how living with kindness can lead to a more harmonious, supportive, and fulfilling life for everyone involved. Let me give you some information on what Community offers: “We are here for friends, social entrepreneurs for business networking and education. It is a community designed to facilitate both social interactions and professional connections among its members. It typically aims to create an environment where individuals can build personal relationships, share experiences, and support each other in both personal and professional endeavors". There are fours (4) pillars: #1. Help how you can get help with problems you are having professionally or personally with Q & A sessions.. Open office hours.. and like the idea of themed office hours. #2. Action, there will be challenges, progress logs, (a public journal) goals and accountability #3 The Learning Lab: You can read articles, take courses, watch and listen to the Talks. I also encourage you to teach a class as an expert. #4. Connections: Most important, networking, just for fun themed events, support to build relationships.

I visited with members of the Tamarack Institute for Community Engagement community for much of August, walking, listening, and learning... and making shared plans to better enable local communities to thrive. (The visits shared a theme: local collaboratives holding a bold result and centering people who face the barriers of structural oppression are key to the just transition we all need.)    Questions (and the responses they seed) often pave the path to good work. Here are some questions I’ll remember from the weeks as a guest on other lands:    On trust:  🌱 What are our practices for seeing, hearing and seeking to understand others?   🌱 What builds trust in groups, and how can we contribute to the building?   🌱 What words, stories, images, and art could bridge divides and lead to shared goals?    On change:  🌱 How do we think change happens?   🌱 How will we stay inspired for as long as it takes?  🌱 How will we name and put aside the things that distract from what matters?    On mindsets:  🌱 What is hard to admit?  🌱 Where do we need to be challenged? (Thank you, Adam Lerner.)  🌱 What truths are we learning, that must proceed reconciliation? Jorge Garza and I will host a conversation on offering context, crafting questions and listening for information that can help collaboratives take up bold work at EngageFest this Fall: https://lnkd.in/gjYcj2YK. We’d love to explore the beauty of questions with you.  

✨ Yesterday's celebrations were a reminder of the freedom we enjoy every day. Today, I’m reflecting on the importance of gratitude and the value of community. How did you spend your 4th of July? Let’s share our experiences and continue to build meaningful connections. #Gratitude #Community #IndependenceDay #Reflections #ContentMarketing #PersonalBranding #SocialMedia #DigitalMarketing

Reflecting on the journey of collaboration, I'm reminded of the immense power we find in unity. 🫶  As I dive into the world of brand communities in my latest blog, I once again realize that the essence of community lies in these bonds we create.

"Your stakeholders are still crying out for authentic voices and authentic brands." This is what Rhyan Smith, J.D., CEO of Brilliance HQ told us at last week's 👓 Nonprofit Marketing Mastery Power Session. "With cancel culture we're seeing a lot of people be very quick to disengage and to call out companies who are not really walking in that authentic truth of their brand. At the same time, we're starting to see organizations shy away from authenticity. There's a huge disconnect between what people want and what companies and organizations are doing, and you'll start to see it in your engagement and your community development..." 👀 WATCH THE FULL VIDEO HERE: https://lnkd.in/eufFBSMu
