According to Colette Phillips, president and CEO of marketing and public relations firm Colette Phillips Communications, the best way to make a difference is to get involved and form real relationships, she said in this episode of the PNC C-Speak podcast.
“Young people tend to think if they’re on social media with a thousand followers, or if you hooked up with 500 people on LinkedIn, that you’re an influencer and you are connected. No, you are not. You don’t know half of those people, really,” Phillips said. “Until you have had a real-life, sit-down, face-to-face connection with another person, you haven’t made a connection.”
In this episode, Phillips, a 2021 Boston Business Journal Power 50 Movement Maker, talked with hosts Carolyn Jones, publisher of the Boston Business Journal, and Saskia Epstein, senior vice president, client and community relations, at PNC Bank, about how her love of bringing people together inspires her work. Listen to the episode to hear more about Get Konnected!; Phillips’ networking organization for people of color; what she believes makes a good leader; and how Phillips’ GK Fund aims to help young entrepreneurs of color succeed in business.
