Last night, we kicked off our Leadership Conversation Series with: Leading Volunteer Organizations How to Lead People Who Don’t Have to Follow You We had a great group of leaders in the room sharing experiences, perspectives, and some very real challenges that come with leading in volunteer organizations. If you weren’t able to join us live, the conversation is now available inside our new Community Leadership Talks Classroom. This isn’t just a place for last night’s replay. Community Leadership Talks will become a growing library of leadership conversations available here inside The Collective Community. Watch when it works for you. Revisit the conversations that challenge you. Take what you learn back to where you lead. Start with Leading Volunteer Organizations in the Classroom. And as you watch, consider this question: If people don’t have to follow you, what are you giving them as a reason to follow?

Welcome to The Collective Community! Big things have been happening behind the scenes. Over the past several months, my vision for what this community could become has continued to grow. What started as the Progressive Leadership Community has evolved into something much bigger than a place to share leadership content. It has become a place to build relationships, continue meaningful conversations, and grow alongside leaders who believe leadership is a lifelong journey. That's why I'm excited to officially introduce... The Collective Community A Progressive Traditions Leadership & Coaching Community This isn't just a new name. It's a clearer vision. The Collective Community will serve as the online home for intentional leaders where we will continue the conversations that begin through The Collective Weekly Brief, deepen the relationships formed at The Collective Social, and provide ongoing resources, discussions, coaching, and encouragement between workshops, events, and speaking engagements. Our mission remains the same. To help leaders grow intentionally, lead with purpose, and make a lasting impact. Whether you've been with me from the beginning or you're joining us for the first time, I'm grateful you're here. This is more than a community. It's a collective of leaders committed to their own growth, as well as the growth of the community. Learning together, growing together, and leading better. Welcome to The Collective Community. The conversation continues here.
