We make a greater impact together than we do alone, yet we all start alone. How do we help others move from me to we? This presentation was given at #WhatIfVegas by Tim McDonald. Each one of us has an obligation to help people move from feeling alone to feeling like they are part of a community.

The way we make an impact is together
But we all start alone.

Instead of looking at others who are different from us as
evil…
Start:
•Talking in an open and inviting way.
•Seeing those who are struggling
with what we have experienced.
•Listening with empathy.

Communities are open and should welcome others

Every action creates a ripple
Continually creating ripples not only
reaches others…
But eventually creates a wave

…and a leader
is simply getting the first one to believe in you.

Success is not always what we see

Our connections are made online and
offline.
Relationships are formed.
It’s all real.

Once you are part of “we” remember to let
others, who are feeling like “me”, know you
understand. They are not alone.
Empathy
