Digital Community Manager || Helping Founders & Heads of Organisations build engaged, thriving and human-centric communities
From experience, I can say boldly that our communities need more than just programs and initiatives; we need to stay human-centred approach to transform our respective communities into a thriving environment where everyone feels empowered, connected and valued. _ Reminds me of a time when I found myself in a community that felt more like a collection of individuals than a cohesive group. Despite our shared goals, there was a palpable disconnect. People were hesitant to share their ideas, and a sense of belonging was lacking. It was during this time that I realized the importance of adopting a human-centred approach to community management. _ _ I then decided to host a casual hang-out, inviting community members to share their thoughts and experiences. To my surprise, the turnout was incredible! As we gathered, I noticed something magical happening: people began to open up. Stories flowed, laughter echoed, and for the first time, we truly connected. _ From that moment, I understood that our community needed more than just programs and initiatives; it craved empathy and understanding. I started to actively listen, encouraging everyone to voice their opinions and contribute to decision-making. We co-created solutions that resonated with our diverse needs through surveys, and slowly but surely, the community transformed. _ _ As we embraced this human-centred approach, I witnessed remarkable changes. Members felt empowered, collaboration flourished, and our collective impact grew. It was a beautiful reminder that when we prioritize people over processes, we create a thriving environment where everyone can shine. _ Now, I’m excited to share that I’ll be leading a discussion on "Adopting a Human-Centered Approach to Community Management later today on the Coterie Builders WhatsApp Community _ _ I invite you to join me as we explore practical strategies and share experiences that can help us build more inclusive and vibrant communities. See you in class.
