You can't fast-track community-building. As much as the "5 simple steps to build your community"-posts want us to believe that. There is really no shortcut to building a community. Why? 🚨 Because relationships don't scale, and relationships are not built over night. But before you stop reading because my post is starting to sound like "playing the long game" doesn't pay off, let me tell you: 💡 Relationships don't scale, but culture does. And establishing a culture of learning and a culture of enabling relationships within your community almost feels like fast-tracking community building. 🔦 Connecting my connections with each other is one of my favourite things to do, because it opens up new possibilities for everyone!

Building Community! Many people ask me how I build my business. I have been invited to go to New York, Hawaii and Canada this year to speak and work with business. How have these opportunities come about? Because I network, I provide content and I build community. People share my work, my posts and respond to that more than me simply sharing my business on social media. Community is important for business success.. In Connect & Grow Magazine December issue we have an article on Community https://lnkd.in/gBxEkWvc Do you build community and connection? #ndis #businesstobusiness #connectandgrowmagazine

#TuesdayTip An economic impact study is crucial for any community festival or event. It provides a clear picture of the financial benefits generated, from increased local spending to understanding your event customers. By measuring these impacts, communities can demonstrate the value of their events to stakeholders, attract future sponsors, and secure funding. This data-driven approach not only justifies the investment in the event but also helps optimize future planning. Understanding the economic ripple effect of your festival or event is key to growing community support and engagement.
