Update your profile with your interests, expertise, and a favorite book (or two). Your profile isn’t just a bio—it’s your conversation starter.

💡 Pro Tip: Craft a short branding statement to highlight your superpower. Think of it as your elevator pitch with heart. Need help? Your buddy can help review it—ELE is a judgment-free zone.

📸 Upload a photo and short bio so peers know who you are and what you’re all about.

Who are the Ambassadors—and how do I get one?

Reach out to your buddy who helped get you set up with ELE—they’re often your best first connection.

If you’d like to connect with a different buddy, you can browse the active member directory and look for members with an Onboarding Buddy badge.

• Connect with your Onboarding Buddy

Don’t hesitate to attend an event together—they’re here to help you plug in, feel at home, and thrive.

🧭 Buddy Bonus: Ambassadors follow a quick-start guide with conversation ideas and ways to co-create your ELE experience—like helping with branding statements or navigating your first roundtable.

Office Hours are casual, come-as-you-are virtual meetups—no slides, just real conversation. You’ll meet fellow members, ask questions, and learn how others are using ELE in real time.

Just show up to one, and you’re officially in the mix.

ELE is built on relationships.

Start by updating your profile—adding your interests and expertise helps others connect with your strengths and know where to pull you in.

Next, build your network across platforms:

• Connect with your ELE Ambassador
• Follow Dirk Tussing on LinkedIn
• Follow the Executive Learning Exchange Company Page on LinkedIn

You’ll start getting personalized nudges when your interests align with upcoming events or peer discussions. The more you share, the more doors open.

Know someone who should be part of ELE? Invite them in!

Members can refer peers who thrive on learning, sharing, and leading. We grow by word of mouth—thanks to great minds like yours.

👉 The easiest way to invite trusted colleagues is to forward a calendar invitation with the session details (Zoom Meeting ID and passcode). It’s a low-lift way to spark their curiosity.

Want a more formal invite or a “how-to” link? Just reach out to Dirk—we’ve got you covered.

Optional, but fun—and a great way to show what’s shaping your thinking.

Your ELE Bookshelf is a living snapshot of the ideas, authors, and insights that matter to you. Add a title or two to spark conversation and connection.

• Your ELE Bookshelf.

Host or contribute to discussions that matter. Your insights drive visibility, spark ideas, and position you as a trusted voice in the community.

The Idea Exchange is where peer-powered learning happens—ask questions, share answers, or build on someone else’s idea. No pressure, just thoughtful back-and-forth with smart, curious people.

🔁 The more you contribute, the more your ELEfolio grows—showcasing your expertise, leadership, and generosity across the network.
