Groups need new members to grow. We cannot expect a new member to walk in the door and magically just fit in all on their own. We as group members need to create a welcoming and supportive environment that helps that new person mesh, find their place, and then succeed.
Feeling included and valued is crucial when joining any new group. In this episode of 'Ramblings of an Addict', Jenna Dicks dives into the art of creating a supportive and thriving community by welcoming new members with open arms. Drawing from her own experiences, Jenna highlights the importance of making newcomers feel confident and invested in the group's mission. Whether it's a mom's group, a political organization, or any other community, her tips are practical and actionable.

She emphasizes the need for inclusivity and a sense of belonging, stressing that when individuals feel supported, they are more likely to contribute meaningfully to the group's success. Jenna also shares personal anecdotes and strategies for educating new members about the group's values and goals.
By recognizing and utilizing the unique strengths of each member, organizations can foster a sense of purpose and collective growth. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to build and sustain a thriving community where everyone feels welcome and valued.
