Is community important to you? Do you value being connected with people who are committed to a common purpose?
If like me, your answer to both of these questions is “yes”, you’ll want to listen to this episode.
Arielle Nissenblatt joins me to share her advice on how to build a successful career by building community. She knows what she’s talking about because she’s done exactly that throughout her personal and professional life.
In fact, that’s how Arielle and I met. She personally contacted me to see if I would be interested in joining the customer community groups for SquadCast, the remote recording studio software I use to create the Connect Mobilize Deliver podcast.
Arielle is the Community Manager for SquadCast and is an expert at connecting people and helping them feel welcome and important.
That has been my experience with every interaction I’ve had with Arielle. She’s made me feel valued and like I belong.
And, I think you may just feel the same way as you listen along with our conversation.

You’ll Learn
3 Fundamental Career Skills from Today’s Guest
1. Give what you want to get
Invest what you would like to receive. As often as you can, say yes to meeting with others who need your support and advice.
Be generous and help others be successful without expecting anything in return.
And, generally you will find you actually receive much more benefit than you provide when you take this approach.
2. Ask for what you want
Be bold in making requests. Being assertive can boost your career and connect you with new opportunities.
Have the courage to ask for a stretch assignment in your job or take the initiative to talk with people you find interesting.
3. Speak up to address issues
Saying something when you observe inappropriate behavior and uncomfortable issues will set you apart as a leader.
Most people will talk about things they know are wrong. But, they will only have the conversations with their teammates in private. They won’t say anything publicly or directly to those involved.
Being courageous and tactfully confronting those who need to be corrected or informed of their blind spots is a highly valuable career skill.
And, you will likely find when you take a stand that others will support you. Often those you call out will appreciate what you have to say.
