Thought leaders are often torn between scale and depth.Scale allows you to reach a large audience, while depth allows you to have massive impact. So, where's the happy medium? Today's guest is Jennifer Dulski, the CEO and founder at Rising Team which blends experience and science to help leaders ensure people on their teams feel valued, motivated, and connected. In addition, she is the bestselling author of “Purposeful: Are You A Manager or A Movement Starter?” The book provides invaluable resources for leaders who want to step up and make a difference. Jennifer has had a number of roles in her career from entrepreneur for a non-profit start-up, high school teacher, and executive leadership roles at Facebook, Google, and Yahoo. We learn how all of these roles have given her the experience to take her passion for creating a happy and successful high-performing team to scale using technology. Often thought leaders believe they have to stick to a single domain, but Jennifer shares how her varied career has allowed her to adjust, grow, and change her domain expertise over time as her own experience has developed through both success and mistakes in the field. Our conversation wraps up by discussing putting content into various modalities and how using LinkedIn, being an educator, and writing a book all play together. Jennifer explains how the book and book talks helped to tighten up her content and give her credibility while bite-sized portions of that content go out on LinkedIn to have larger engagements with her audience. Jennifer shares useful information on taking ideas to scale and leveraging a book to create a deep impact on your audience. Three Key Takeaways: · You don't have to be a thought leader in only one domain. You can grow your thought leadership in multiple domains as your experience grows. · Having successes and mistakes are both part of the thought leadership journey. · A book can help you solidify your ideas and present them in the clearest way, which you can then build additional product offerings.

In this interview we talk about just that and her favorite example of people and brands that have created a movement, how it applies to community professionals and so much more. Take a listen!To Long; Didn't ListenJen touched on a topic from her book called “The 5 Stages of Engagement” (more on her book here), which starts with denial and ends with engagement. She shared how Virgin America enlisted the help of their customers to petition for a new runway for them! The morale of the story is to listen to your customers and learn how to engage them in a way that serves you brand and your customers.She also shared the unusual community Starbucks has called “The Leaf Rakers Society”, a group of people who are enthusiastic about fall. Jen showed it's a great example of a company just supports and isn't overbearing which allows people to build a surprisingly deep connection. If you're building a community, you can consider using this to create a community associated with your brand that will create a richer connection than a help forum.During her time at Facebook they conducted a survey and found that communities with a true, deep connection usually contain 3 things. The first was intentional time in that group, actively engaging with posts (not just lurking) and being connected with one another. If you're able to build a community the specifically goes to your group and not only engages but become friends with others in the group chances you will have a very dedicated community!

Who do you listen to and whom do you trust? Listen to THIS advice to weed out your internal suspicions…[11:40]. Starting a revolution. There’s something you want to see change, you want to help grow and make better, but there’s this wave of self-doubt that says this is a role for bigger people who are more connected. False! This is YOUR role, YOUR mission. The ONE question you need to ask yourself before you start is this…[15:33]. Expanding the team. It’s easy to gain support from your closest friends. They listen to your troubles, cheer your accomplishments, lend a helping hand when needed, but what about a stranger? How can you enlist an outsider to follow your cause and embark on the journey? Follow these THREE tactics to grow your team…[22:32]. Fueling the mission. You’ve got the team, you know the mission inside and out, and time goes on and on without any real achievement. It’s far too easy to feel defeated and get derailed. How do you keep your fiery force alive over time? Remember THIS…[28:48]. Tune in and turn the volume up for a dose of inspiration and life lessons. You're never more than One Idea Away from a whole, new reality.

You may have wondered at some time in your life: How can I make difference? How can I do something meaningful? If I’m not a born leader, can I still make a mark on the world? In her new book, Purposeful: Are You a Manager or a Movement Starter?, Jennifer Dulski explains how you can turn your mission into a movement that creates change—whether you're at a Fortune 500 company or a local community group; whether you’re an intern or a CEO. “Anyone can spark change if they believe in the power of taking action, no matter where, or how small,” Jennifer says.
