So often social capital discussions are focused on the "how to" and aimed at the person who has no or limited social capital resources. This is similar to expecting people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, or people with disabilities to do the heavy lifting when it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion and access initiatives.

This talk includes three steps to extending an opportunity using your social capital. Our community will benefit by having more people
equipped with actionable approaches to help others build their social capital. Robyn guides organizations to achieve aggressive and transformative results. Her specialties are revenue development, culture-shifting, marketing, and guiding individuals and teams to achieve more by defining, tracking, verifying, and reporting results. Robyn’s leadership resulted in significant financial growth and increased volunteer engagement and client achievement. Prior to taking the helm of Results 1st, she was the Chief Executive Officer of Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s, in Sarasota, FL. Robyn attributes her relentless determination to help groups to succeed to her upbringing by her blue-collar, hardworking parents. Neither of her parents graduated from high school and her father died when she was 12 leaving her mother to be a single parent. She feels these experiences have built her “hustle muscle” and desire to help others overcome challenges through change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
