Recently I was asked "How and why do you become a community manager?" I have forwarded this question to my network of community managers and will share their answers with you in this episode.
Community Manager Advancement Day #CMAD2020 is all about self care. Why? Because community professionals tend to neglect looking after themselves while looking after their communities. Listen to this episode to learn:
- what causes community professionals stress
- what are the symptons of stress
- what you can do when you are stressed
- how you can prevent yourself from being stressed.
What are you going to networking events and conferences for? Is it really the learning and the speakers? Or rather the connections you make in the hallway?
Community Building can be lonely business, it can be tiring to explain who you are, what you do and why community management is important. Networking events for community builders reassure you when you hear the same stories from other people, you can then start to get inspired about what you could do with your community.
On top of that big conferences like the CMX Summit help you gain credibility in your organisation. It's important because communities are important for the future of our society. So let's create the expectation that every company and organisation will have a head of community!
