S02E19 - Connecting Leadership, Mentorship, and Community with Summer Watson

The Exceptionally Irresistible Show

What about a community makes it so appealing for people to continue being part of it?

I’ve been part of so many communities.

In my teenage and early adulthood years, I used to work for an organization that would send me to take part in various new branches that were being established under its umbrella.
I’ve seen so many communities start up and fail.
The burning question that always was (and still is on my mind), is “why”? What about these communities makes them fail or succeed?

This episode we sit down with Summer Watson.

Summer is a doctorate in psychology and speaks a lot on the topic of leadership, mentorship, and its connection to community formation.
It’s been a fascinating discussion.
