Sometimes the best marketing is a heartfelt "Thank You." In the hustle and bustle of business, it's easy to forget the simplest yet most powerful ingredient of all – gratitude At Serri, we've learned that being thankful within your community can make a world of difference. Here's why: Fosters Connection: Gratitude brings people closer. It strengthens the bonds that hold a community together. Boosts Morale: A simple "thank you" can lift spirits and motivate your community members to contribute even more. Encourages Engagement: When people feel appreciated, they're more likely to engage actively, share ideas, and participate in discussions. Creates a Positive Environment: Gratitude sets the tone for a positive and welcoming community atmosphere. Builds Loyalty: Members who feel valued are more likely to stick around and support your community over the long haul. Remember, it's not about grand gestures but a genuine appreciation for the people who make your community thrive. So, take a moment today to say "Thank You" to your community. It's a small act that can lead to big results. 💙 Be sure to check out the comment section to get a feel for it. 😁 #Serritips #CommunityBuilding

We’re already in Q2 of 2024 - where does the time go?! How were the first three months of the year for you? Here at LIT, we try to keep track of our goals and progress with our monthly Happy Hours and our special end-of-year reflection and planning events. 🎯 But we decided to introduce a new quarterly event hosted by our co-founder Melissa (pictured here!) where our members can check in more often with their goals and take stock of the progress they’re making. Having an event where we can come together to do this makes it more likely we’ll actually make it happen, instead of trying to do it in our own time but procrastinating or getting distracted by more urgent matters. The accountability and support of like-minded colleagues are so helpful! We celebrate the progress we’ve made, and if things aren’t going as we planned, we see where we can get back on track (or decide to pivot and try something a little different). Do you have a regular goal-setting and reflection practice? What’s working for you? Share with us in the comments below! We recommend setting some time aside and putting it in your calendar - otherwise it’ll just keep getting pushed back. Or even better, join us in the LIT Community when we next open our doors, so we can do it together! Find out more and sign up for our waitlist here: ✨ https://lnkd.in/djA_wNS4 📸 by Zsanett Kovacs

A very personal note to the community ecosystem peers: at industry level, all community experts, professionals and executives are on the same team. Our job is to make the case for community in business. The why and how community matters to drive results. We are yet to make it a stronger case for community executives to be required in all product development, customer success and strategy meetings. For them play a strategic and crucial role in most fast growing companies' C-suite. Yet, since developing the curriculum for a global community builders program (bringing together 288 community professionals as fellows, and 50+ of world's top experts as speakers), joining multiple industry events myself as a speaker, publishing a book, and moreover after 10 years collaborating with other community professionals, I must say: the industry isn't always that friendly. I keep seeing community businesses who act much like Sauron would, if you get the LotR reference. If not - just picture someone who tries to claim it all, to put creators under their umbrella and concentrate all knowledge, you get it. All industries have many of those. Initially, that bothered me, but I came to conclude that, at the end of the day... They matter. They play a role, like Gollum did (as the wise Gandalf figured). They're welcome in the ecosystem. My take on Sauronic behaviors, as predatorial as they sound, is that the greedy ones who try to rule them all are also playing a role in "spreading the word". In their own (oftentimes annoying) ways, they are helping companies understand what community is about. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. 50 years from now, I expect community to be a department, a required skill, a high-education degree, an established C-suite position, you name it. Thanks to an ecosystem of creators, experts and practitioners co-creating this ever-living, ever-changing field. My goal is to make friends and have fun in the process of getting here. Doing community in community. That, often times, might look like playing a low key role in the industry, aiming to level the fields and make space for more voices to thrive. Community doesn't belong to one. It belongs to all. IMO, community implies an abundance-minded culture where knowledge, food, resources, or whatever it is, is shared. Where trust is built through consistent interactions, and we all grow and thrive as an outcome of collaboration. Let's keep leveling in up, however you choose to.

“Embrace the funk.” The speaker for a community event I was producing uttered this sage advice as we discussed the possibility of technical difficulties.  She was unruffled at the prospect, knowing that events are fraught with the unpredictable. “We’re gonna be every minute funky. The funkiness is unavoidable.” And she’s right. It’s not just events. #Community is just plain funky. It’s weird, wacky, and wonderful. You can’t contain it or fully predict it. It often happens on its own, outside of formal planning. As a #communitymanager, you can certainly shepherd it, guide it, and steward it.  Protect it, incentivize it, and provide for it. Cultivate its growth, ensure its health, and facilitate its success. But it’s never fully under your control. So embrace the funk!
