Introducing Soaring Professionals: A Space for Experienced Professionals

Hello mCommunity!

 

If we haven’t met, I am Sara Ajemian - a corporate communications executive with over 16 years of experience working across the technology sector. I’ve spent half of my career working in-house for both communications and marketing teams and half of my career growing B2B Tech PR agencies. Because of this, I’ve become a passionate advocate of data-driven communications. I’ve been so happy to share some of my thoughts with you over the last few weeks (you can find my February Experts with Insights series 

 

I’ve also become a huge proponent of mentorship and community. I credit a lot of my success to leaders I had the privilege of being mentored by when I was just starting out, and the myriad young professional programs such as She Runs It (formerly AWNY) that I took advantage of when I was under 30. But once I aged out and hit that 10-year mark, I struggled to find the right community to help me navigate the “changing tides” of communications and figure out how to adapt programs and evolve my style. Groups like Chief were excellent but only focused on leadership, and I felt like the PRSAs of the world were too “corporate” for me. 

 

This is one of the reasons why I’m so excited about the launch of mCommunity. I don’t have all the answers, and this group is already proving to be a community of like-minded professionals to collaborate with and learn from. So, I’m so excited to share that I will be kicking off a new private user group called Soaring Professionals! 

 

If you’re also embracing the second decade of your career, join me in this brand-new private user group designed for communications professionals with more than 10 years of experience.  Every week, I'll share my thoughts on various topics related to data-driven communications, leadership, and more.  The community also wants to hear from you! This is a safe space to share your experiences and insights, ask questions, and engage in thoughtful discussions with fellow Soaring Professionals. We all have valuable knowledge to share, and I believe we can all learn and grow together.

 

 

So, if you're ready to join a supportive and collaborative community of communications professionals, I invite you to join Soaring Professionals today. Let's soar to new heights together!

Thanks for sharing this @Sara Ajemian! A few follow ups: I don’t think that link to “click here to join the group” is working (at least not for my device). Also, between this new Soaring Professional Group and the Rising Communication Professionals Group- for someone who is between the timeframe requirements to join those groups, is there a recommendation for which one to ‘join’ or contribute to? Just which ever someone is closest to? Both? Neither? Thanks! (@Deana Callipare, @kelly.bebenek)

Hey @Maria Dehne - where does the link take you when you click it? It’s working for me but it could be my permissions level and I want to make sure we get it fixed if needed!

If you feel like you fall “between” groups, you are of course welcome to participate in either or both, depending on what resonates most closely for where you “feel” you are in your career. I myself feel like I fall somewhere between “rising” and “soaring” most days too! 😀

@Jacinda Espinosa, I think someone fixed the link since I left the comment, because it is now clickable. It just wasn’t linked to anything before. And thanks for your response about the groups. I appreciate it- Maria
