Up early attending the Community-led World conference! Looking forward to a few sessions including: + When to Say “NO” to Community: Exploring When Building Community Isn’t the Answer (because too many companies think community will solve their problems and they are not ready or equipped) + The Community Superstars Era: Turn Ordinary Community Members Into Passionate Advocates (something I am super passionate about and is a core tenant of my community-building approach) + Avoiding Pitchforks - How to Regain the Trust of Your Customers Through Community Programs (having first-hand experience with this, community is more than a following, it's a cultural movement) Go get your ticket: https://lnkd.in/gH_NTfNk

The Cybersecurity Career Ambassador Program is on a mission to weave a vibrant tapestry of volunteers - through employers, educators, and more - who stand as beacons, guiding folks to shape a diverse and robust cybersecurity workforce.   Ambassadors, you're the heroes here!   - Spark inspiration, engage hearts, and fill minds with knowledge about the booming demand for cybersecurity talent, the learning avenues open for exploration, and the many career paths waiting to be discovered.   - Break down the cybersecurity career myths by highlighting the assorted learning routes and credentials leading to roles outlined in the NICE Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity.   - Bolster initiatives and resources that craft a highly skilled, diverse workforce, with a special shoutout to programs uplifting women, minorities, veterans, disabled individuals, and other underrepresented groups.   Cybersecurity Career Ambassadors are the heart and soul of our quest to magnify cybersecurity awareness and champion workforce diversity. Whether through schools, local organizations, places of worship, or workplaces, ambassadors can host talks or community events to spread the word.   We’re on the hunt for passionate folks! Dive into the Ambassador journey with our info session for Community of Interest (COI) members. Two steps for you to do: 1. Join the COI by emailing: NICEAmbassadorProgram+subscribe@list.nist.gov 2. Attend the next information session - details soon (link will be shared with current members of the COI).

On Saturday, we celebrated the first birthday of one of my passion projects, the Launch Community. The Launch Community is a facilitation experiment where we play with the tools we need to build community across difference. We're an "unlikely community" of people because we come together intentionally even when we don't have any obvious similarities. Often, communities are built around shared interests, backgrounds, or experiences. Our community is built on practice, in the sense that we're each developing the skills to cultivate belonging with others - with no training wheels. One year ago, the Launch Community was an idea in my notes app. In just one year, we've hosted 10 Stranger Socials welcoming new members, 9 Connect + Expand Events diving deep into the nuts and bolts of community building, and 27 total events building friendships and the hard skills we need to cultivate community. 💡 How do we actually get better at listening? 💡 How do we lean on each other to deepen our connections? 💡 How do we create space for conflict so it doesn’t derail our bonds? At just one year old, we don't have all the answers, but we have met 108 people who are crawling towards them together! Follow our little experiment on Instagram: https://lnkd.in/gdiZ2MYQ

*How I found success by being part of a strong community. *You can't grow alone—community is the key to thriving in any industry. When I first started out, I knew that I would not be able to do this alone. But the real breakthrough happened when I connected with like-minded people who shared their experiences, insights, and support. Being part of a community doesn’t just give you access to new ideas—it gives you the confidence to take bigger steps. Whether it’s sharing wins, discussing challenges, or learning from others’ mistakes, the collective knowledge and encouragement from a supportive community can make all the difference. Here’s what I’ve learned: the more you give to your community, the more you get back. It’s not about what you can take, but how much value you can bring to others. Are you actively engaging with your community? How has it helped you grow?
