I reached out to Connie after reading a very interesting blog post of her on community management. Over the past couple of months, I have continued to work with her to develop my company’s community management practices as well as features in our product roadmap that I believe will have a significant impact on our community. Connie has been very accessible and insightful. Working with her has been fantastic!

Most importantly, it is a deep knowledge of and passion for the dynamics and needs that bubble up in any group where caring for the whole is as important as making sure each individual is heard.
