It's Social Saturday! ✨ My favourite day of the week. The Power of Community: Community: A word that evokes images of togetherness, support, and shared experiences. But what exactly is the power of community? The community is more than just a group of people living in the same place. It's a network of relationships built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. It's a place where individuals can find a sense of belonging, support, and inspiration. The power of community lies in its ability to transform lives. When we connect with others who share our values and interests, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We learn from each other's experiences, celebrate our successes, and offer support during challenging times. The community also empowers us to make a difference. By working together, we can achieve goals that would be impossible to accomplish alone. We can advocate for change, address social issues, and create a more just and equitable society. In a world that often feels increasingly divided, the power of community is more important than ever. It reminds us that we are not alone and that we are stronger together. So, how can you tap into the power of community? 📍Seek out communities that align with your interests and values. 📍 Be an active participant in your community. 📍Build relationships with others. 📍Offer your time and talents to support your community. 📍Celebrate the diversity of your community. By embracing the power of community, we can create a world where everyone feels connected, valued, and empowered. What are your thoughts on the power of community?

LinkedIn #community, I’d love your assistance. I have the beginnings of a thought but it’s unformed and incomplete. Is there any “there there,” or am I suffering from the recency bias of two events and trying to find a deeper meaning from them than actually exists? I joined the community viewing the solar #eclipse on Monday. A bit after peak coverage, I walked through my neighborhood, past the Cambridge Police Department, Biogen, Google, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Whitehead Institute and Novartis. There was a festival atmosphere among the gathered crowds (helped by the first springlike day of the year). There was a sense of community. A sense of “and.” I was thinking about that “and” considering so many conversations I hear in my professional and personal life that are focused on “versus” or “or.” Global – Local. Men – Women. Brand – Performance. Conservatives – Liberals. On either side of the eclipse, top women’s and men’s teams played in the NCAA Basketball Finals, watched by ~19(!) and ~15 million people respectively. I don’t know what percentage of the viewers felt deep connections to the teams or players in the games, if they were strongly rooting “for” or “against” a side or if they simply liked the stories, drama and excitement – the feats of human excellence – that we so often find in sports. We "choose sides" – make choices – in our life and business every day. I can’t physically be in two places at once, and I can’t be on a Teams call and read email and fully comprehend both. Each choice I make *signals* my priorities. It doesn’t mean I’m opposed to what I don’t choose, just that I prioritize one thing over another. (It’s a different conversation, but the sum of these choices over time either supports a defined strategy or becomes the de facto strategy.) I couldn’t see the moon in the sky before it was in front of the sun, and then I couldn’t see the moon or the sun. Yet somehow, in not seeing either, I saw both. And...that’s it – or is it? I can’t figure out the rest. Can we only come together when there are opposing forces? Am I conflating too many things and trying to find meaning where there is none? I’d love your thoughts…thanks! Here’s a bad photo of the eclipse as inspiration. #help #deepthoughts

Good experience from a trusted minds and dedicated Mentors matters alot.

You’re busy. I get it! Time is precious. If you’re one of the few who wishes you had more time to work, don’t feel bad. I get that too. Your work is not separate from you, you love what your mission is, and you want to make an impact…but you’re tirrrrred. Want to know how I do it? Only 30 min till our LinkedIn audio about Speaking up while protecting your peace. It’s going to be gooooood. This topic really seems to resonate with people, and it makes sense. We’re all (waves hands around) here, right? And we may just have to extend the time or do a part 2. 🫣 60+ already wanted to listen in and we want to hear from you, too. It won’t solve the troll problem, or Uncle Algo’s bias…but you’ll get some great suggestions on finding harmony via social entrepreneurship and digital activism.

Imagine a platform and a community that cuts through 99% of the hype and fluff we encounter every day. For so many of us—myself included—countless hours, dollars, and energy are spent trying to level up in our careers, finances, and personal lives. Yet, we’re often left with more questions than answers, wondering how to break free from the noise. Let’s face it: true depth and connection don’t come from a LinkedIn connection, a massive networking event with thousands of attendees, or a loud cocktail party filled with buzzed chatter. From my experience, real connection happens in thoughtfully curated, purpose-driven spaces. That’s why the audience I’m building will be intentionally capped at 250,000—a community of the best in their fields, driven not just by success, but by the desire to keep growing. When you bring together individuals who are at the top of their game, ready to push boundaries and make meaningful connections, incredible things happen. That’s where the true power of human connection is unleashed—transforming lives, companies, and the communities we live and work in. Run hard. Run fast. Make an impact for the greater good. Leave egos and pride at the door, stay humble, and always pay it forward. Your legacy isn’t just what you achieve—it’s what you leave behind. Remember, in life, there are three kinds of people: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what the F*&% just happened.

We all have gifts and the way we use them varies. Our contributions to society show in our decisions. This great country was founded in the ideas of men who recognized there was no need for big brother (in the form of England), in order to survive. As I have viewed the LinkedIn community for the last year, I see all kinds of folks pushing their skills and wins, mostly in a corporate capacity. I would ask these folks, who's pictures hang on a wall in your office? How many of them are there? And most importantly, do you want to be on that wall? Will you make the cut? At the end of the story will you be remembered or missed? Or are you just another cog in the machine? Take the time this weekend to think about how you spend your time. Think about the gifts your suppress in your current role. Then think about how you could impact the community and world if you were to share them. What will your legacy be, cocktails and happy hour? Sales goals and an imaginary carrot? What about your contribution to your country? Do you possess a line of folks behind you and your career that are better off than they were before working with you? Did you concede in globalization and settle to work for Vanguard, Blackrock, or a similar entity out of fear, laziness, and safety? Or did you create an avenue for your community to have continued success? Live on your knees, or die on your feet. - Its all up to us.

Unlocking Doors: The Power of Connection Connections aren't just about expanding your professional circle; they're about building bridges, fostering trust, and creating a supportive community. In today’s fast-paced corporate world, it’s easy to get caught up in our daily tasks and forget the immense power of genuine human connections. Yet, it is these very connections that often hold the key to unlocking new opportunities, innovative ideas, and meaningful collaborations. Let's unlock those doors together by taking a moment to appreciate the value of our networks. Reach out to someone new, rekindle an old connection, or simply share a positive thought. As we celebrate Social Saturday, let’s remember that connections are not just about numbers or networking for the sake of it. They are about creating a community where we support each other, learn from each other, and grow together. Wishing you all a happy and connected Social Saturday! #SocialSaturday #Community #Connection #ProfessionalGrowth #SupportEachOther

The Power of Community and a Positive Mindset. Hear me out. Being part of a community isn’t just about social connections—it’s about belonging, growth, and support. When we’re surrounded by people who uplift us, our outlook shifts, making us more resilient, optimistic, and empowered. A strong support system can help us overcome challenges, celebrate our wins, and inspire us to be our best selves. 💯 Being part of something bigger reminds us of our value and brings a sense of purpose and positivity that is hard to achieve alone. And it’s often the small acts of reaching out and connecting that make the biggest difference. Honorable mentions in today’s video: Alyssa Kropp & Nate Jewett 💡Big finish Friday action: Reflect. What communities do you have in your life today and how do those communities serve you. Are you part of too many, maybe you need to grow your community. Asses your community and then action. Make sure the people you surround yourself with most are in alignment and support the direction you’re looking to grow! #Community #PositiveMindset #Growth #SupportSystem #Connection
