Welcome to our Instagram course + Our community values

A warm welcome here!

The biggest value you'll get from this course, I believe, is each other.

Through the mechanism of this course, we've brought together here a focused community...  not just random comments from random people, but rather, helpful and kind comments from your fellow authentic Instagram creators, for the purpose of learning and encouragement! 

A community is defined by its culture... and each of us is a culture-setter. We influence one another and the whole, with every interaction we have. 

A few principles for us to keep in mind:

1. Comment once, reply twice. For each comment that you make, look for 2 other people's comments (especially ones with few comments) and add a reply – with your encouragement and suggestions if appropriate. This helps to balance the comment/reply ratio, and gives you practice in seeking and giving support in this community.
   
   
2. Notice and name each others' energy signatures. Each person's presence and strengths are unique. It can be difficult for us to notice our own, and easier to notice others'. When you reply to someone’s comment, if they're sharing something personal, try to name something, however small, that you appreciate about their energy signature. Many of us have a fear of being seen. Let’s help each other feel fully accepted and received.
   
   
3. Co-Learning Community. Nobody here (not even the "teachers") know everything about Instagram... far from it. It's a vast and complex platform with constant updates. Let's create a co-learning environment here. Even we "teachers" are learning from your shares too!
   
   

4. Share generously. Be supportive of others here. If you discover something that works, or hear about a great tip, please do share it with us. Comment under the appropriate lesson if possible, or if not sure where, just comment under the IG Tips lesson. Sharing will make this course better for all of us!

5. Keep all sharings confidential.  Let's keep this a safe space for sharing by promising to keep all comments (particularly the personal ones) confidential.

The values we embody together here is what makes this course experience amazing for each other 😊
