Ep. 234 THE POWER OF COMMUNITY

In addition to being part of speaking communities, we, as presenters belong to professional, social, charitable, faith-based, and other communities. Today Mark and Darren discuss the power of community, examining the ways that communities make us grow…and change. They offer advice on collaborating with your community, growing your community, and even leaving your community. Using Stage Time University, Toastmasters International, and the National Speakers Association as examples, they show benefits and blessings of being in community with like-minded people and reveal how community has helped them to prepare unforgettable presentations.   SNIPPETS: • Community helps change perspective   • Choose your community   • Use your community   • Serve your community   • Build your community   • Don’t be abused by your community, if you must leave, do so with grace                                             • Protect your community   • Don’t think NETWORKING; think NETSERVING   • Is your community helping or harming you   • Take inventory of your communities
