🌴103. Why lurkers might love you the most feat. Anamaria Dorgo( Weekend Rewind)
Today we're joined by Anamaria Dorgo, a powerhouse community builder, facilitator, and L&D mentor who brings fresh energy and honesty to the space.
We chat about the awkward but freeing shift from corporate trainer to facilitator (aka: from control freak to co-creator), how to stop obsessing over “engagement” and start thinking about value, and what it really takes to build momentum in a community or workshop – spoiler: it’s not about being constantly visible.
Anna Maria shares:
- The exact mindset shift she made that changed the way she builds community
- How she uses brevity + structure to manage her own over-talking tendencies (guilty here too 🙋♀️)
- The difference between “looking engaged” and actually learning something
- Why some of your most impacted community members will never like or comment – and why that’s okay
- How she turned LinkedIn into a personal learning journal (with zero pressure to post every day)
Whether you're running workshops, managing communities, or building a personal brand, there's gold in this chat.
