Get inspired by Fabian Lopez: Essential skills you need to build a strong community

[#1]

Building a feeling of community often starts with just one person. Those people are natural dot-connectors. They seem to have an inherent gift for rallying people together around a common cause. But what about those of us who weren’t born with those enviable talents? What can we learn from those that were?

By day, @Fabian A. Lopez (Community Leader - Argentina, Florida, California) utilizes Atlassian tools as a program manager for DSS, Inc., a health information software development and systems integration company. By night, you can find him volunteering for Warfighter Made, a nonprofit serving ill, injured, and combat-wounded service members and veterans, while also hosting community events for Atlassian users in Florida, California, and Argentina in his role as Community Leader.

Check out our spotlight on the Work Life blog (including a short video), featuring this very special human and his tips for focusing on the individual, leaving your ego at the door, and being a lifelong learner.
