Today is the day I began to feel empowered again. After a year or two of feeling… stifled in my role and expectations that made no sense, my new/old boss told me… ā€œI will never tell you how to do your job. I am not the expert in your job, you areā€¦ā€ 1/2

ā€œā€¦ I don’t know how to do your job. I dont know half of what you do but what I do know is you get things done, always. Nothing falls through the cracks and every time I think of something, you already do it.ā€ And I’ve never felt so empowered to do what I do best.

Things we heard on the road in Tennessee: ā€œBless her heart but she looks like the little puppet man from Saw. It’s not nice but it’s true.ā€

I don't think I am a Community Manager anymore. If I had to give myself a title for my current position it'd be something like Assistant Community Success Program Manager. I am doing a lot of Customer Success/Community/Program Managing. I don't hate it.

Replying to @SunCountryAir
@SunCountryAir would love to talk to someone about how 8 of us just got stranded in another country with less than 13 hours until we were supposed to take off but I’ve been on hold for over an hour šŸ™ƒ

Stay the night at my friends house so we can go to the airport together. Wake up with intense lower back pain and now wondering if I’ll make it to Cancun šŸ˜‚

What do you do when marketing asks you to write a sales email and they normally come from the President of the company? You write the email and make fun of your President.

When you don’t attend an event for the first time in years because you couldn’t get a yes or no on if you should be there so your CEO still introduces you from stage. Next time I’m giving someone a framed picture of my to put on an empty seat.

After spending winter in a state that isn’t Texas I now understand why my husband wears socks everywhere. It’s freaking cold. Why are my feet so cold all the time? Texas would never do this to me. Except that one week we won’t talk about.

Storytelling in community is so important and you may not even notice you’re doing it. It’s a tool, a talent and an art. Storytelling impacts emotions by creating imagery, experiences, and connections… encouraging action. What’s the overlap between this and community? 🧵

Stories create connections, they engage readers, and can motivate. That sounds pretty familiar doesn’t it? Because this is what community aims to do. Connect people, find uncommon commonalities, and hopeful spur action.

My members asked me how I use chatgpt. I had to tell them I use the prompt ā€œI’m a lizard in the Nevada desert who wants to learn [subject], explain it to me so I can understand itā€ I started doing this to test prompts for my community but now I’m addicted to being the lizard.
