19 years in promotional gifts and merchandise area give some experience and knowledge, which I was honored to share with our Powerful Marketers partners 💪 It is really important to be visible nowadays, definitely not only digitally! Companies have to be smart and careful with the choices. I hope some tips would be helpful to read. In case you need some good advice, me and my team are always ready to help 💝 Promotional gifts are closer to your customers, partners and to your team, when you are away. You have to be sure that they tell more than 1000 words (definitely only good)! So a really nice gift solution is a successful result of the process and professional support from my team! We make gifts with heart, so other people can feel this energy! 💡 And you don't have to know all the answers, you just have to know the people, who ask these questions! 🎁 Read more from Powerful Marketers' latest blog: https://lnkd.in/gFnrRKcc 📖✨ Visit Stillabunt's website: https://stillabunt.ee/ 🌐🔗

I do 8 am conversations very rarely but Rosie Sherry is one of those people I’ll chat with any time. I’ve learned so much from her about community - we covered so much about life, work, connection, AI and loneliness in this conversation. I’ll post it later this afternoon. #community #connection #MinistryOfTesting #Rosieland #podcast

It's so hard to let new people into your life after someone has broken your trust. I get it—it's natural to want to protect yourself. But here's the truth: we can't do life alone. As Americans, we often carry this "I can do it myself" mentality, which can lead to isolation. But we weren't built for that. We're wired for community, for connection, and it's through those relationships that we truly thrive. Yes, rebuilding trust takes time, but leaning into community is essential for our well-being and survival. 💖 Keep an eye out for my upcoming community events, where we can connect and grow together. And if you're ready to take the next step, join my Patreon community for more support and deeper connections. Comment or message the word PATREON to get the link.

The new year has hype. Our culture has expectations.But sometimes we need to take time to consider ourselves in the bigger picture and let some things go. You know that wonderful feeling of your place in it all as you look at the night sky or a powerful landscape. As we look forward to our aspirations, goals and intentions we also need to accept that ultimately much of our life is outside of our control. There is only so much that we can influence (no matter what social media or the culture tells you). In day 4 of our Intentional 2024 challenge we explored this idea. We acknowledged the seasonal nature of life. The things that are perhaps beyond our capacity to influence right now. And were encouraged to deliberately decide upon something to surrender to, whether it be a bad habit, a system or funding model, a season of family life ect. So what are you going to surrender to in 2024? And feeling like you need more of this - you can join the community for $19 for the month and get set up for an intentional 2024.

When everyone is churning out forgettable content, where will you stand out? The answer? 👇 By hosting communities that bring people together. ⭐️ Communities that break the ice. ⭐️ Communities that build relationships. ⭐️ Communities that don't rely on you or your content to work. ⭐️ Communities where YOUR MEMBERS drive the workshops, livestreams, events, and connections just not possible on any other platform. And when you build this kind of community? You'll be asking yourself, "why didn't I do this sooner?" Intrigued, but not sure where to start? We've got you. On July 9th, we're going to show you step-by-step EXACTLY how YOU can bring a community like this to life.

Today a post about the importance of community. Back in my ACDIS days I had a lot of community. Boards, committees, a membership of 7,000. I left all that behind when I resigned in March 2022. Communities are hard. There is a tendency for group-think, and rounding off the sharp, important edges on ideas. There are hurt feelings, and politics. Folks feel alienated, unfairly criticized. Leading a community can be wearing. After 15 years of leading ACDIS I needed a break. I’ve had one, closing in on two years now. Now community is calling me again. Why? Communities can spark new ideas that you don’t have. They can get you out of your funk, and combat loneliness, and personal and professional isolation. ACDIS members left the conference with new ideas for chart reviews or department expansion or provider engagement, but more than that, they felt like there was someone else like them, who was dealing with the same problems. They left feeling heard, and part of something bigger. That’s why I feel the need for community again. I don’t think social media can ever fill that need. There is no real give and take on social media. It feels a little like an act, very little of substance generated. A lot of heat, not a lot of light. To be honest, I have tried to rejoin a community, failed, but am doubling down in 2024. I seem to have a tendency to attract people that want to sell me services, which is a little discouraging. It’s not what I’m after, so I’m being more transparent. I’m not selling you anything, and I’d appreciate it if you did the same. I’m here to connect and share ideas, and commiserate, and celebrate success, and do all the things good communities do. I’m beginning to explore a couple of communities that serve the profession I’m in, branding and marketing. Both for the ideas, but also for the sake of being in the company of like-minded people. I’m keeping in mind that a “community” need not be an association, or anything large scale. 2-3 people can form a personal community, and in some respects serve the same function as large scale with better efficiency. So that might be the option I pursue. Do you belong to a community, local or national, personal or professional? If not, do you feel the same need, or absence? What steps are you taking to grow your community? BTW I’ll be at the ACDIS conference in April, for many reasons including promoting Norwood, the company I love, and our mid-revenue cycle services. But also to reconnect with a broader community. Hope to see you there.

As we step into Q2, I pray you get the level of community engagement you are looking for😫, the partnership you are trying to close🤝, and the best of the events you are looking forward to organizing 🙏 Let’s make the most of of Q2 by looking at Q1 with playing a short game called Roses🌹 & Thorns 🍂 Roses: Your W for last month Thorns: Your L for last month This helps us appreciate our effort and work toward a better Quarter 2. Share in the comment… I’d start My Rose: started working with a brand I have always admired with over 300k followers and over 28k community members. Thorn: Still finding it difficult to increase growth engagement within the community.

I chose Wendy Rodgers for this award because of her passion and energy for the Beavercreek community and its businesses. She truly wants to see everyone succeed and is always looking for ways to help. As a host of our Beavercreek Chamber of Commerce Coffee with Champions, she is enthusiastic and adamant that it cannot be boring. Each week, when you walk in for a workshop, you’ll find upbeat music playing, prizes to be given out, and even an entertaining “spin the wheel” game. Wendy’s group likes to have fun, but they can also be serious when the moment calls for it. They’ve even gone out into the community for a couple of “force for good” projects. More questions that I ask Wendy: 1️⃣ What does Coffee with Champions mean to you? 2️⃣ What do you do at work? 3️⃣ What's the one thing you want people to know about you? Get these answers in the full interview below.
