What community do you belong to? Who helps you with support, accountability and growth? Where do you feel seen and heard?
In the fast-paced world of tech, where change is the only constant, the importance of community cannot be overstated. For women in tech, community serves as the backbone of support, accountability, growth, and learning ❤️
It’s not just about networking. It’s about finding a community that understands your unique challenges, celebrates your successes, and pushes you to grow in ways you never imagined.
Recently, during one of my group coaching sessions with Toast 🍞, the power of community was on full display. As we wrapped up, I asked each participant to share one word describing how they felt. The responses? “Accepted,” “pumped,” and “confident.”
These women left the session not just with new skills and insights, but with a renewed sense of belonging and empowerment. They felt seen, heard, and valued by their peers—an experience that’s invaluable in a field where women are often underrepresented and undervalued.
As a solopreneur, I lean heavily on my own business communities because, let’s face it, the entrepreneurial journey can be a lonely one. It’s easy to feel isolated when you’re the one making all the decisions, facing the challenges, and celebrating the wins—often by yourself 😢
What communities are you part of? I surround myself with other entrepreneurs who understand the unique highs and lows of this path. These communities are my lifeline, offering not just practical advice, but also emotional support and a sense of camaraderie that keeps me motivated and grounded 🙏🏽
Community is more than just a group of people. It’s a space where you can be your authentic self, where you’re encouraged to take risks, and where you have the support system to catch you if you fall. This sense of belonging is crucial for growth, both personally and professionally. It’s in these communities that you find mentors, allies, and friends who hold you accountable, who challenge you to reach higher, and who cheer you on every step of the way 🥂
