GOAL: Cultivate & Nurture Relationships.
Attending the HAVEN Conference was a transformative experience! Haven was filled with inspiration, learning, and filled with the opportunity to connect with like-minded creatives. The relationships you build at HAVEN are invaluable, and staying connected with the community you’ve met can enrich your journey long after the conference ends. Here are some tips to help you maintain and nurture those connections:
1. Follow Up with a Personal Touch
After the conference, like now đ take the time to send a personal message or email to the people you connected with. Mention something specific you discussed or a shared experience from the event. This helps reinforce the connection and shows that you genuinely value the relationship.
2. Join and Engage in the HAVEN Maven Facebook Group
The HAVEN Maven Facebook group is a part of this community, where you can continue conversations, ask for advice, share your projects, and support others. Stay active by commenting on posts, sharing valuable content, and offering encouragement. Itâs an easy way to stay in touch and remain an active part of the HAVEN community.
3. Participate in Group Projects or Collaborations
Collaboration is a powerful way to strengthen bonds. Look for opportunities to work on joint projects with your HAVEN peers. Whether it’s a creative challenges, IG shares, or a co-hosted event, collaborating keeps the connection alive and can lead to even more rewarding experiences.
4. Attend Virtual Meetups or Webinars
Stay engaged by attending virtual meetups, webinars, or workshops organized by HAVEN Speakers & Leaders or fellow members. These events are great opportunities to catch up, learn together, and keep the spirit of HAVEN alive. Plus, they offer a chance to see familiar faces and meet new community members.
5. Share Your Journey and Updates
Keep your HAVEN connections in the loop by sharing your creative journey. Whether it’s a new project, a milestone, or a learning moment, letting others know what you’re up to keeps the relationship dynamic. We all want to WIN with YOU!Â
6. Send Encouragement and Celebrate Wins
A simple message of encouragement can go a long way. If you see a fellow HAVEN member achieving something great, take a moment to congratulate them. Celebrating othersâ successes fosters a positive and supportive environment that strengthens community ties.
7. Plan for Future Meetups
Did you meet a few folks that are more local? Plan to meet up with your HAVEN connections in person. Whether it’s at the next HAVEN Conference, a local event, or even a casual coffee meet-up if you’re in the same area, face-to-face interactions can deepen your relationship and create lasting memories.
8. Be Consistent and Genuine
Building and maintaining relationships takes effort, but it doesnât have to be overwhelming. Consistency is keyâmake a habit of checking in, engaging in group discussions, and being present in the community. Remember, genuine connections thrive on authenticity, so be yourself and let your true passion for creativity shine through.
