"Create a community full of action takers, not consumers." 💭 This is the philosophy I teach at the OBMU Event, so if you want to be a part of the action, not chatter, join me!

✨Dream It ✨ 🥑 At The Eleventh Production, dreaming isn't about fictional stuff. It's about bringing about hope and belief for a better future. The "11" in The Eleventh Production represents the 2 pillars (that's why its 1 1) we want to bring hope to: Inclusivity & Intergenerational Interactions. 💚 And no, these aren't just new buzzwords. We bring these hopes and ideas through our employment and engagements of THESE GROUPS OF SPECIALLY SKILLED INDIVIDUALS. 🧡 By adopting strategic community engagement methods and strong partnerships, we aim to create real-life employments and training grounds for our employees.

Every person has individual values and behaviour. Collectively to create a common culture you'd want to check in with every single person within the organization, otherwise, its like a broken picture puzzle. #truechoice #Collective #community #winwinwin #growthmindset #1plus1equals3

🌍💙 Honoring the True Meaning of Community 💙🌍 Hey friends! I wanted to take a moment to reflect on something that's been on my heart lately: the overuse of the word "community" and the importance of truly honoring its meaning. In this fast-paced digital age, it's easy for us to throw around buzzwords without fully grasping their significance. But community is more than just a trendy term. It's a powerful concept that holds the potential to bring us closer together, fostering genuine connection and support. It’s important if you commit to a community that you put your heart in it. Stop asking what it can do for you and start doing what you can to help it thrive. Let's remind ourselves that community isn't just about the number of followers or likes we have. It's about building meaningful relationships, embracing diversity, and creating a safe space for everyone to be heard and valued. When we honor the true essence of community, we cultivate empathy, understanding, and a spirit of collaboration. We uplift one another, celebrate our differences, and work together towards common goals. 🙌 So, let's be mindful of how we use the word "community" and ensure that our actions align with its profound meaning. Let's foster genuine human connections. If you become a member of any community, support each other, and make a positive impact in the lives of those around you. 🌟 Remember, love and kindness are the foundations of a thriving community- and if your community needs help, practise both. Spread them generously and create a world where the word "community" truly reflects its beautiful essence. Below is where our creative community gathers [ Art Escape Studios ] to share ideas and experiences, where we impart knowledge and techniques and invite our students and guests into our world of art and culture. Where do you find community and how do you support it? #CommunityMatters #LoveAndKindness #TogetherWeThrive

Community building thrives on open communication, active listening, shared values, and inclusivity. Foster connections, celebrate diversity, and engage in collaborative initiatives for lasting, positive impact. 😇 #ConnectToGrow growzilla.co #growzilla #community #communitybuilding #communitymanagement #communitydevelopment #communitygrowth #communityfirst #communitystrategy

A few thoughts on CSUN, if you are interested. 1. There's a reason we should always try to come together for these events, we are social creatures by nature and the comradery is second to none. 2. If you ever wondered how much impact we can make in the world, CSUN provides you an opportunity to see hundreds of people with disabilities, collaborating, helping each other traverse the lobby, hallway, coffee shop to expo center - it's amazing. 3. Egos are checked at the door - the mission of accessibility is at the forefront, and sure we may be showing off our latest accomplishments, but we are secretly loving the movement of the industry and hoping the best for our intended users. 4. There may or may not have been a small amount of alcohol consumed over multiple days, which led to great conversations and bonding of teams from across the world. 5. The technology coming out right now is phenomenal. The lectures were insightful. You need to put it on your bucket list or add it to your annual expenses to attend - it's worth it.

Congrats to the newest BeLocal publication on launching! We're so excited to see what you do and so proud of all the hard work that you've put in to get here. #belocal #belocalmagazine #newmovers #hiddengems #newresidents #newcity #communitylife #communitysupport #localbusinesses #smallbusinesses #localtips

💬 Emphasizing strategic communication, our discussion last week quickly zeroed in on the importance of aligning employee actions with corporate values and the essential role of leadership in modeling this commitment. We examined the broad implications for communicators in crafting narratives that support CSR activities as a core aspect of organizational identity and employee involvement. Undoubtedly, we’re at the forefront of these initiatives, facilitating internal understanding and external expression of the company’s social impact work. Key takeaway: Biopharma communicators’ role is critical in articulating and activating CSR strategy (regardless of company/client stage), ensuring that every level of the organization is informed and engaged.

Our job as communicators is so much more than just helping announce community days of giving and posting photos on social media afterward. Here’s what that “so much more” amounts to: - Identifying and vetting community organizations that not only align with our company mission but also have a sterling reputation. - Sometimes even making the case to do a small amount of work in the community is an uphill battle, requiring lots of behind-the-scenes conversations (what I call “socializing the idea”) as well as a formal leadership team presentation culminating in requests for yet more follow-up before making a final decision. Phew, right? Well, there’s more. - Figuring out how to help employees feel connected to whatever initiatives the company ends up selecting. OR what can be even harder is developing informal talking points to justify why the company has NOT said x or supported y while still making our CEO look good, because we’re often on the front lines receiving these inbound questions from employees. - Partnering with HR/People to ensure enough leaders will be present and as appropriate, evenly distributed among volunteer groups. Specific prep or info sessions for leaders can sometimes be appropriate as well. - Developing guidelines to teams that provide guardrails for posting about their community program participation to their own social media yet still encourage it–a delicate balance. - Seeking permission from community partners to tag them on digital properties like social media and to share photos. External partner approval of the actual posts can sometimes be required as well. Depending on company policies, explicit employee permission may be mandatory, too. - Creating a mechanism for capturing the actual community work. This can include assigning or even hiring photographers or videographers, a portal for employee photo submission, seeking employee testimonials or impact statements from partner orgs. - Cataloging all resources and materials developed for easy future access and in anticipation of the ad hoc questions like, “Do you have the contact for…?” “Do you have that group photo from…?” - Collaborating with HR/People on incorporating captured assets into talent branding (at a minimum, the careers section on the corporate website) and new hire onboarding materials. - Reporting back to the company at the next all hands meeting, supported by other efforts like intranet and digital signage posts, about the collective impact the team had. - Encapsulating the entire community effort in one tidy slide for the next board of directors meeting preread. - Including social impact initiatives in future ESG reports, as appropriate. What else did I miss?
