A framework for creating the ideal professional community

These are the essentials when building a community: 👤 IDENTITY: The community needs to support identity. It should go deeper than just knowing what companies you've worked for or roles you've had – it needs to know what products you use, what you're looking for, and what you care about. 🌈 DIVERSITY: The community should bring together people with common interests, but different backgrounds and experiences. The best communities are diverse and connect you to people in other roles, industries, geographies, cultures, etc. 🙏 ENGAGEMENT: Community members need to have a way to engage each other and create a "growmance" – a relationship where community members collaborate to support each other's growth. Think gazing fondly into each other's dashboards and having long talks about reach. 💥 ACTION: The community needs a way for people to take action and conduct a transaction. It should have a marketplace inside so people can buy and sell products, content, services – anything. 📚 LEARNING: The community should help you connect the dots between what you don't know and what you need to learn. This could include content, courses, and community discussions. What's a professional community you love, and why? 🤔
