Today is the day I began to feel empowered again.
After a year or two of feelingā¦ stifled in my role and expectations that made no sense, my new/old boss told meā¦
āI will never tell you how to do your job. I am not the expert in your job, you areā¦ā
1/2
āā¦ I donāt know how to do your job. I dont know half of what you do but what I do know is you get things done, always. Nothing falls through the cracks and every time I think of something, you already do it.ā
And Iāve never felt so empowered to do what I do best.

I don't think I am a Community Manager anymore. If I had to give myself a title for my current position it'd be something like Assistant Community Success Program Manager.
I am doing a lot of Customer Success/Community/Program Managing.
I don't hate it.
Alright, writing my checklist for the week and it's increasing size is intimidating but I'll be fine... right?

What do you do when marketing asks you to write a sales email and they normally come from the President of the company?
You write the email and make fun of your President.
When you donāt attend an event for the first time in years because you couldnāt get a yes or no on if you should be there so your CEO still introduces you from stage.
Next time Iām giving someone a framed picture of my to put on an empty seat.
After spending winter in a state that isnāt Texas I now understand why my husband wears socks everywhere.
Itās freaking cold. Why are my feet so cold all the time? Texas would never do this to me.
Except that one week we wonāt talk about.
Storytelling in community is so important and you may not even notice youāre doing it. Itās a tool, a talent and an art.
Storytelling impacts emotions by creating imagery, experiences, and connectionsā¦ encouraging action.
Whatās the overlap between this and community?

Stories are so important to community survival.
At its core community is relationship building with a purpose and a mission.
Authentic stories bring your community together so itās an inclusive space, everyone can find a connection. It builds empathy to strengthen or begin 1/2
I was insanely grateful he felt comfortable sharing that. It brought me joy.
Now, he has something unique that resonates with other members. Someone to look to and that understands him.
This is a type of connection that has potential for deep relationship building.
