Speech Topics
When we look at the thriving, successful communities that are growing ideas, brands, and customers today, it turns out they all have the same five things in common. This talk is designed to break these five elements out, give case studies and examples of successful communities, and let the audience in on a set of not-so-obvious things they can do when they walk out the door to harness the power of communities in their own efforts or organizations.
This talk is designed to take people through the current state of getting and keeping attention online and in the real world. It’s changed dramatically not just in the past decade but the past few years and the things I’m paying attention to as an entrepreneur today around marketing and launching have shifted pretty dramatically. There are a lot of surprising insights I’ve discovered and I’ve found sharing these with groups has been super popular.
In 2019, I launched my first online course, taking 1,000 people through a “Community Design Masterclass” in four months, generating six figures for me. In the process, I unlocked all sorts of surprising insights around the future of work, and specifically, what personal branding, career development, networking, and recruiting will look like over the next decade. It’s a talk that I’m just starting to put together, but am pretty excited about it and the “alpha” audiences have loved it.
