Open your heart. Be real, be vulnerable, be humble.

Community isn’t just a collection of people working together. It’s people who are connecting heart-to-heart with one another.

Community is more caught than taught. The best way to build it is to model it by revealing your heart in a way that touches other hearts. Let people see that you genuinely care about them as human beings and not just as members of an audience or a team.

Show people your heart-felt compassion, concern, caring, humility, passion, vision, dreams. If you refuse to hold back or hide your deep feelings and tender emotions, they will touch people’s hearts and connect them to you and to each other.

The next time you speak reveal more of who you really are. Then watch people’s heart-connections grow and expand.
