COVID-19 - This pandemic has halted not only a country, but the world. The ramifications are not yet fully known. How will this affect our economy, education, government, and our neighbors?Information about this health crisis is coming at us from all directions - using all forms of media. Today we talk to Dustin McKissen from McKissen & Co. about social media and how to best use this medium during this crisis - today on Leaders in Local Government.
Twila and I met because our husbands were looking for other musicians to jam with. One of them answered the other one’s Craig’s List ad, they played together a couple of times, and then I invited them over for dinner and music. We never considered not making music together after that night. Our voices together created something entirely different than our voices separately. The complexity of our vocal tone and harmonies continue to make the hairs rise on our necks, and on the necks of our audiences. I call her my Soul Sister. For this 100th episode, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate theme than Community. It’s my community that make me who I am today. It’s my community - that I built with intention - that bring me satisfaction, challenge, and joy. It’s my community that helped me be the person I aspire to be, and to raise our children to be independent, kind, compassionate adults. Today’s 100th episode of Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will is sponsored by Uchi. Scroll down to learn more about this new communication improvement app! I started to build my LinkedIn community about 10 years ago, slowly at first, finding my footing as a blog writer and contributor to the platform via comments and sharing valuable, relevant content. The first people I connected with deeply were Heather Younger, Neil Hughes, John White, Dustin McKissen, Chris Spurvey, and Karthik Rajan. These were the people putting out great content that I was learning from, engaging with, and sharing, which was the reason for the substantial growth of my LinkedIn network: People started to follow me because they trusted me to share relevant content. Those people are the reason for the existence of the No Longer Virtual events. I realized that bringing them together, face-to-face, would offer even more opportunities to deepen my learning from them, and our relationships. We’re heading into our fourth year, No Longer Virtual will descend on Chicago on March 12 & 13, 2020. That first event in Atlanta in 2017 brought me face-to-face with many of my favorite LinkedIn voices, including Melissa Hughes and Zach Messler, who both continue to be huge inspirations and support for me. Our relationships began virtually, and now I cannot imagine my life without them - or the others I mentioned - in it. They are my community. For this episode, I wanted to explore what community means to people, and to share what my community means to me. So I hit the record button in the kitchen at Twila’s house, while sitting with her, her daughter, Joy, and our younger son, Max, and drinking coffee and eating delicious, fresh-from-the-oven banana bread. Two of us moved around a lot as kids (Joy and me), and two stayed in the same house and small communities all through their childhood (Max and Twila). That dynamic made for really interesting insights and discussion about what community means, it’s impact on us, and why it’s so important to be intentional about building a diverse community of supporters, challengers, and truth-tellers. Joy’s perspective is significantly different from the others in the room. As an only child and a more solitary soul, community is critical for her emotional health in a completely different way from those of us who are generally more social creatures. She explained that as a Challenger (Enneagram reference), she isn’t a naturally trusting person, so her comfort zone is being solitary. But with that solitary life, she risks spending far too much time in her own head, which can cause what she called “disintegration”. Max’s perspective leaned toward mine, that a healthy, supportive community becomes the foundation for curiosity and exploration of other communities and environments. He said that his foundational community, the peer group he has stayed close with since preschool and kindergarten, continues to help him feel secure in his exploration outside of that comfort zone. I hope you enjoy listening to this 100th episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. Special thanks to Neil Hughes for his critical role in bringing these 100 episodes to life. It simply wouldn't be possible without him. Uchi is proud to sponsor this milestone 100th episode about Community because uchi, in Japanese, means “in-group” or “inner circle”. The folks at Uchi believe people are yearning to feel closer to others. Not to everyone, but to the people who matter most to them. Uchi is a free app, available for download on the App Store and Google Play, that helps make conversations easier. It’s like those cards games where you sit around a table and share answers to questions, but this is online so you can do it anywhere, at any time and with anyone around the world. Community is about people and their relationships to each other. Uchi’s mission is to help people connect authentically with those who matter most to them in order to have more meaningful relationships. As a sponsor of the 100th episode of the Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will podcast, Uchi is contributing to Elkins Consulting’s, No Longer Virtual 2020 conference scholarship fund.

How do some get so much more from LinkedIn than others? About Dustin Writer on LinkedIn. 20K+ followers 2MM views of blogs Columnist Most salient points for professionals The way you think about LinkedIn is important. You can use it as a passive platform or active. Active is much better. A good profile... Have a photo, a professional one. For some, that means a suit and tie, others it's at your desk Position descriptions are complete. Don't treat them like a chance to recite everything you did. Treat it like a chance describe how you bring value. Ask for recommendations. Easiest to give them first. Complete the profile and give people a nice way to understand who you are and what you do. Order of content areas. Highlight what's most valuable first. Using the bloging platform, Pulse, on LinkedIn. Good distribution Wrote first post in July 2014 about second employee in a startup. Received 900 views. Second article 4-5 days later about getting an MBA was written for an audience of people who need the MBA as a career qualification. that post went viral and got 22k views. Later wrote a post that received 500k views. Has now written 185 posts for LinkedIn. LinkedIn has an algorithm that identifies what posts to feature. Is now manually featured by certain editors What have your learned and can systematize about writing for Pulse? There are probably 10 people who have written for Pulse who have built a similar sized platform as him. Only 2 of them had any writing background before starting If you're interested in writing, start by writing about things you care about. Do something compelling, not appetizing. Something with 'fire in the belly' gets more attention than technically well written material. It's all about interacting with people. Groups Are they really active? Most are short-lived if ever lived. Most are too big or too small to be a community. You need to evaluate each group one at a time and be willing to abandon them. Interacting with people... Look at who is engaging with the post then go to their profile. Look at their post, be curious and proactive in helping them. Look for ways, find ways, to help the people who look at your profile. Use this as a basis to build a dialog. Look for Pulse content that resonates with you and is in your area of interest / expertise. Comment on the article, comment on the comments. Engage more deeply with individuals. Most people generally operate with some sense of kindness and of the golden rule, online people don't necessarily have the same level of care / reciprocity. Being decent, kind and caring to people who do share of their time and efforts. Your favorite business book?

Career growth is not only about the credentials you get Look at what investments you can make into other people He could go out an get another degree, which may look good on your resume You could also give great advice to a potential client or employerer
Find the notes to this episode at writewithimpact.com/episode44 Dustin McKissen and I met on LinkedIn nearly two years ago, when we were both starting to blog there. Since then, we’ve become friends - virtual friends, at least - since we’ve never actually met in person yet. In fact, this conversation is the very first time we’ve ever spoken to each other beyond email or LinkedIn messaging. I’m a huge fan of Dustin’s writing on LinkedIn. While the word “authenticity” is on the verge of becoming cliche, Dustin epitomizes what this word really means. In his posts, he draws heavily from his personal experiences, sometimes very painful ones, sometimes humorous ones, and in doing so connects with readers in a way few other writers on LinkedIn can. He’s also a prolific writer: he’s published nearly 200 posts that have been viewed over 2 million times, and which have generated tens of thousands of likes, comments, and social shares. Last December, LinkedIn recognized Dustin as one of 90 “Top Voices” from among the 1 million LinkedIn members who publish posts. Earlier this year, he was invited to become a contributor to inc.com, where he writes a column called, “The Brand New Entrepreneur”. And while Dustin clearly enjoys writing on LinkedIn, he’s also managed to turn it into something more than just a personal passion project. Today, largely on the back of the reputation and professional network he’s established on LinkedIn, Dustin has built a profitable and growing business advising clients on their communication plans. In our conversation, Dustin shares some of the strategies he uses to write posts that touch readers around the world. He also talks about how to engage with readers and other writers on LinkedIn to grow your network.
