Jeff Geheb featured in Fast Company Executive Board Expert Insights article

The article features perspectives from 35 business leaders on how to build and sustain professional communities

A professional community goes beyond who works at your company, or at least it should. For one thing, building a professional community outside your organization is often part of growth strategy—people you can rely on and trust for their insights and advice. There’s another benefit: A sustained and supportive network of peers and other business leaders can also impact your personal growth. But building such a community takes more than a few networking lunches or Zoom events.

Fast Company asked its Executive Board members how they built a professional community and what it takes to sustain a network of peers, mentors, and supporters. Jeff Geheb of WPP Enterprise Solutions was one of 35 leaders who shared his perspective.

I’ve stayed involved with the University of Kansas and now serve on the advisory board for its School of Business. I also serve on the board of advisors for companies across healthcare, technology, and entrepreneurship. These relationships give me a chance to learn from people with different experiences and stay connected to ideas and perspectives outside of my industry. They’ve also allowed me to contribute what I’ve learned. Staying involved with communities you care about means thinking about what you can contribute. Make it a two-way street. Your experience, expertise, and connections can be just as valuable to others as what you learn from them.
