SXSW 2012 - Forget Corporate Buzzwords

Forget Corporate Buzzwords - Go Change the World
Event	Interactive 2011
Format	Solo
Organizer	Nate St. Pierre – ItStartsWith.Us
Description	Building and managing a powerful, engaged and effective community (online or offline) does NOT have to be difficult. You don't have to pump your people full of 20-point mission statements, corporate buzzwords, or deep hierarchies. Don't overthink it! All you have to do is show them how to change the world in a way that's meaningful to them, and then let them go do it. If you provide a simple vision, they will consistently surprise you with their creativity, passion, and energy. Whether you're already running a large community or thinking about starting a new one, you can touch hearts and change lives with your group in just 15 minutes a week - without spending a dime. It's personal, fun, effective, it makes a difference, and it's REAL. And I can show you how.
Questions Answered	How do I build and grow an active community around my specific concept, while changing the world at the same time? How can I keep my community consistently engaged with our mission? How do I encourage my group to build internal relationships with each other to strengthen the whole? Can you give specific examples of 15-minute activities that actually have an effect in the real world? What are some case studies of communities that are using this concept to make a difference?
