Engaging with Purpose

Engaging with Purpose: Crafting Authentic Community Connections

Understanding what “engagement” means differs depending on who you ask. Cultivating the right balance of posts, videos, text messages, events, or emails can be impossible if you base your expectations on social media platforms.

Community Builders with Purpose is hosting an interactive conversation on Tuesday, March 12th, at noon Eastern time with Brian Helfman, Founder and Chief Experience Officer at Third Nature. With ten years of experience as an entrepreneur, community builder, experienced designer, facilitator, and coach.

Brian has helped thousands of people and dozens of organizations cultivate clarity, creativity, and connection while having more fun. In his spare time, he runs the Leaders in Training program at Experience Camps for grieving children and serves as Program Director ofExperience Camps For Adults.

An online community, or an in-person community, has varied levels of engagement depending on the nature of your content, ability to connect with members, existing or new rituals, and the frequency of meetings.

Brian will share with the community what authentic community engagement looks and feels like for hosts. Learn how to figure out why engagement is important to you and how to generate that kind of engagement. Brian is an expert at designing and facilitating valuable, connected events and gatherings.
