The Power of Community

By Volteo Digital • April 8, 2024
Since childhood, the desire to be part of a community, to find that sense of belonging and experience harmony and balance, has been a fundamental human need. We search for this feeling in various places - with our family, friends, school, and beyond. I didn't truly appreciate the significance of this until I embarked on my career in public relations. When I first joined the team at Volteo Digital, I was tasked with understanding what it takes to build a strong community. It was a challenge initially, but as my aspiration to be a leader and friend within the company grew, I stumbled upon Charles H. Vogl's compelling book The Art of Community. This book made me reflect deeply on our membership community and its profound implications. What I've learned has shown me the value of meaningful connections. These connections transform our lives by allowing us to share ideas, engage in activities, and celebrate successes.
