A community isn't just a space where people gather. It’s where connections are built, conversations happen, and we all lift each other up. 🌱 Think about the magic that happens when someone shares their story or asks for advice. In those moments, we’re not just learning from one person—we’re benefiting from the collective wisdom of everyone here. When you comment on someone’s post, you’re offering support, insight, and encouragement. When you create your own, you’re sparking new discussions and inviting others to grow alongside you. Imagine what we can achieve together when every question, idea, and experience is shared. 🤝 So, let’s take the next step. Comment on a post today. Share your thoughts, your challenges, your victories. And if something has been on your mind—whether it’s a tip, a question, or even a simple hello—start your own conversation. This is your space to thrive, and together, we can make it stronger every day.

I have a confession to make (and a share about an upcoming event) There have been times in my career when I’ve overpromised and underdelivered. Thankfully, this wasn’t a consistent habit, and I became known for getting things done. But there were certainly moments, especially when it came to clients. I didn’t spend much time in sales roles, but when I did, I often found myself telling clients what they wanted to hear instead of what they needed to hear. For anyone in sales, this is a recipe for disaster. In operations, however, I took a different approach. I was more conservative with my promises and always aimed to overdeliver because I understood the repercussions of not following through, particularly with my teams. This community is another example. There is so much involved in building, managing, and running a community like this. The content side is actually the easiest part, in my opinion. But the engine that powers the machine—the systems and processes—is much more challenging to build properly. About a month ago, I realized this and decided to tackle it on my own. The result? Incremental improvements to the engine running this community, but mediocre content, as I haven’t had the time to focus on that side as much. ----------------- Public Service Announcement: I'm hosting a workshop next week Thursday with a special guest Chris March, leadership coach called "Coaching Essentials: Learn the Art of Guiding Others to Success" Register now. https://www.linkedin.com/events/coachingessentials-learnthearto7242894976001417217/theater/ ------------------------- I took a step back to reflect on why I built this community and my mission became clear again. It’s the how that is more complicated. In the coming weeks, I will be doubling down on delivering high-quality content. My goal is to make it so valuable that there will one day be specific paid-only content for those seeking more. This free community will still exist and I aim to provide significant value, but the appetite for more is so high that a paid offer is necessary. This will allow me to invest in others to help build this and future communities.
