Who’s Got Your Back? The Hidden Benefits of a (Diverse) Community.
The Threat >>
If you’ve ever felt like you’re on this journey alone, you’re not alone in that feeling. Whether you're a solopreneur, CEO, stay-at-home parent or employee, we can ALL feel isolated and/or alone in our work and this crushes our creativity, communication and contribution, in all areas of our life.
The Challenge >>
Most of us are juggling high expectations, intense workloads, and personal commitments—typically alone, hidden even from our spouse.
We’re inately driven to do better and often feel we should be able to handle it all. But the reality is, isolation erodes energy and motivation.
The Opportunity >>
A community brings like-minded people together which means, if we all have the same complaints, we all sound the same...
A diverse community cultivates innovation, connecting people from different industries, backgrounds, and cultures, each with their unique way and perspective, of handling challenges.
The process isn't always rosy either-different people will challenge you in ways you're not used to. This fuels new ideas, provides emotional support, and life-changing, practical insights, if you're open to them.
Ultimately, you gain something priceless: the knowing that others have your back.
For example, a member recently joined our group call from a hospital bed—simply because she didn’t want to miss connecting with people who get her journey. Another member joined us between conferences while abroad. These connections aren’t just for support in tough times; they serve as a consistent reminder of your potential and priorities, no matter where life takes you.
The Takeaway>>
Next time you feel the weight of going it alone, consider the real power of being part of a supportive, diverse community. Who’s got your back when it matters? And, equally important, whose back are you willing to have in return?
So let me ask you, who's got your back?
Join a diverse community and win the week ahead.
