The Power of Joining Communities
Joining meetups, clubs, or trade groups related to your interests or passions is valuable. Engaging and participating in these communities in person can be extremely powerful and help you build connections. Going to conferences or meetups and actively participating, rather than being a passive observer, adds more value to your experience.
Digital Engagement and Adding Value
Engaging digitally through social media can be valuable, but it should not be used as a crutch or a substitute for meaningful social interaction. Jumping into conversations, leaving thoughtful comments, and adding value to the online community can expand your network and lead to valuable connections. Avoid mindlessly scrolling and focus on engaging with your peers and industry leaders.
