Do Better…
![Page 11: Nobody Does it Alone: The Power of Connection](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a0fa061a28ab9b398b4747/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1) Identify THE Connectors
• We do PROGRAMS really, really well…
• We don’t do CONNECTION!!!
• 6 degrees of separation?
• Some agencies, and some people are better at this than others!
• Get out of your comfort zone.
![Page 12: Nobody Does it Alone: The Power of Connection](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a0fa061a28ab9b398b4747/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Draw a picture…

2) Pay very close attention
• What are partners telling you they can contribute?
• How can we decrease duplication and work more efficiently?
• What is the community telling you they need? Want?
• ASK QUESTIONS!

3) Get a bigger table
• What do YOU need help with?
• Stay focused on the ultimate goal. Go BIG!
• The end consumers are real people in communities!
• Invite everyone to it… be more inclusive!

4) Use pressure points…

5) Focus on WHY and NOW!
• Figure out the WHY first… the WHAT and HOW will come!
• Ya’ gotta’ believe!!! Do you believe in true social change, believe that we can make a difference, that we can change the world??
• THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW!
• This revolution will not be tweeted!!
