In today’s digital landscape, it’s crucial to distinguish between the ideas of community and Community. While the first is about genuine bonds among people sharing common goals, the second involves the systems and tools that support these groups. Our focus isn’t just on the platforms we use but on the people we serve and partner with.
Here's what you'll learn:
👉 The importance of human connection in building a Community
👉 How tech tools and frameworks can support or hinder community building
👉 The secret to a successful Community is a thriving real-world community

Through many lessons, roles, and companies, he has learned an appreciation for building relationships with people and connecting in a way that helps them learn and grow. Joining Cisco in 2015 was the culmination of a career-long aspirational goal of joining a group of people out to change the world. After gaining his CCNA in the early 2000s, Jeff held a belief that companies like Cisco were leading the industry to new and awesome things, and at some point, he wanted to be a part of that.
