Feeling frustrated by your professional communities?

I don’t know about you, but finding a new community can feel like wandering into a new café and knowing it will become your favorite, or starting a highly recommended book and being pulled in by the very first words that you read. There’s so much excitement and hope, the promise of unlimited potential. “This is it!”, you think, “This community will help me [fill in the blank]”:

• Find a new job

• Make new connections

• Land new customers

So you head to the “Welcome” channel, type out a clever introduction, receive a few supportive emojis (probably from the Community Manager), and then the reality sets in “What on earth do I do next?”

Whether you feel like you’re wasting your time in your current communities or on the hunt for your next membership organization, we invite you to join our upcoming webinar featuring a panel of rock-star community leaders who will help you create an action plan to transform your community participation from ‘blah’ to beautiful.

Speaking of communities, this week the TechWalk community is headed to Brooklyn, where we will welcome THREE co-hosts to join us in Prospect Park. Keep reading to learn what they are interested in chatting about during our walk.

• Gabrielle Smith, Director, Product Marketing, Muck Rack wants to talk about anything related to Product Marketing. Founders take note, this could be just the conversation you need to navigate product / market fit and your first stab at the positioning and messaging for your startup.

• In her own words, Maria Mitsos, Senior Customer Success Manager, Replicant is focused on managing client relationships and ensuring Replicant products and services really deliver. “But the biggest shift for me over the past few years? Learning to go easy on myself. I’ve realized that the real victories often aren’t about flashy titles but the lessons learned along the way. Balancing motherhood with a professional career isn’t easy, but it’s taught me a lot about keeping things in perspective — like setting genuine goals and staying cool when plans don’t exactly roll out as expected. I’m very open to sharing these insights, hoping they might help others who are also trying to juggle it all.”

• And last but not least, Chris Cavallino, Revenue Enablement, also at Replicant (we got a two-for-one deal!) provided a handy dandy bulleted list of his topics:

  • Sales/Customer Success/Revenue Enablement

    1. Offsites, Boot Camps, Mid-Years

    2. Internal Relationship Building

    3. Leadership/Coaching/Mentoring

  • Customer Success, and

  • Travel, Volleyball, fitness/weightlifting
