Discover the Superpower of Connection…Without Burnout

This is a conversation with Suzanne Weller and how she discovered her superpower of being a connector and a community builder, to unlock her possibilities, and the surprising truth of what allows her to make meaningful impact with the colleagues and communities she engages.

When it comes to being a connector and a community builder, can you think of a capability more important than being able to read other people and read a room?

For Suzanne Weller, there’s something she’s learned to be even more important than reading other people which has helped her grow her superpower and her impact.

As a leadership coach, a public speaker, a storyteller, a founder of her own consulting firm, and host of The Courage Effect podcast, she has a lot of experience being able to read people and rooms.

But that is not the most valuable skill she’s learned as a connector and a community builder.

In this conversation, we dive into…
➡️what being a connector and community builder does for Suzanne
➡️the costs of being a connector and a community builder
➡️if you are saying ‘yes’ to one thing, what are you saying ‘no’ to?
➡️what it takes to be a better team mate and better community member.

In this episode, Suzanne answers the following questions:
➡️How do I become a connector?
➡️What makes someone a good connector?
➡️How do I build a community?
➡️How to build community when you feel isolated?

My favorite quote from the episode: “It’s the trade-off idea. If you say ‘no,’ then you get to say ‘yes’ to something else. And if I say ‘yes’ to this, I have to say ‘no’ to something else.” 

Suzanne is speaking to the need to find a balance in commitments and agreements, and how easy it is as an extrovert, a connector, and a community-builder to over-extend oneself. Even if it’s a superpower, operating out of balance is the fast lane to burnout.
