Welcome to Effortless Yes! + Our community values (5 - 10)

A warm welcome here! It is so valuable to have a community of wise and grounded soulpreneurs to explore these things together in a focused way. The most important part of a community is its culture. I consider each of us to be culture-setters. We influence the culture with every interaction we have here.  A few values I recommend that we keep in mind: 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. Notice and name each others' energy signatures. Each person's presence is unique, and each person has their strengths. It can be difficult for us to notice our own, and easier to notice others'. Whenever you reply to someone’s comment, try to name something, however small, that you appreciate about their energy signature. We all have a fear of being fully seen. Let’s help each other feel fully accepted and received. Receive deeply what others see/feel from you. It’s a meaningful practice. It’ll help you integrate and express better your energy signature.  Share generously. As you do the homework and add comments under lessons, try to include screenshots or quotes where appropriate, so that we can learn from real examples.  Keep all sharings confidential.  Let's keep this a safe space for sharing by promising to keep all comments confidential. Let me know below if these values are helpful, and if you have any suggestions. The values we embody together here is what makes this course experience amazing for each other 😊

Netcaring with fellow course participants

These are rich sources of colleagues who are actively growing and meeting many other people. Most course comments don’t get replies. You can be one of the few. What you get to practice in re: netcaring: Deep listening to understand more perspectives and be more able to truly connect. Deep encouragement: say what you specifically appreciate about their energy, words, their efforts. Share your own related vulnerability about the course topic. Connected commenting: aim to be more specific about what they said, and less generic in your response. It’s a practice of being an excellent commenter. Look for ways to connect with them 1-1 for co-working, co-learning. Most course participants don’t reach out 1-1 to offer encouragement, accountability, mutual coaching about the course’s topics. By being one of the engaged commenters – and especially, repliers to comments – you get to know the themes of what the students are most engaged with, and confused about.  Reach out to the instructor in genuine appreciation and support: That you have seen some common themes in your review of student comments, and they are…  That you’d be happy to be a success story for the course.

Soulful game of hide & seek 👼🏼✨🌎

Let's play with this imaginary tale...  In a celestial realm known as Heaven, a soul family thrived, aglow with a wisdom and love that felt almost boundless. Each soul was a unique spark in a grand constellation, radiant in the light of collective unity. Despite this wondrous harmony, a subtle yearning began to stir within them—a desire for deeper individual expression and growth. An Elder Soul stood before the gathering, saying, "Though we are in a realm of unity, we yearn for individual experiences to enrich our collective wisdom. Let us incarnate on Earth during a time of a great digital web, where we can send forth our unique energy signatures as a way to remember and recognize one another." In agreement, the soul family embarked upon their journey to Earth, manifesting in physical forms to navigate a world filled with complexities and opportunities. Bound by an eternal promise, they ventured into lives where they could both seek and offer lessons, always on the lookout for their kin. Grounded in teachings of authentic business, they each began to carve out their own unique paths. These souls emitted their energy signatures through heartfelt pieces of content—videos, writings, audios, and art. Each was an imprint of their authentic selves, designed to resonate through the sprawling digital landscape. While Earth's challenges—doubt, time, imperfection—sometimes darkened their steps, the soul family drew strength from their original mission. They saw these difficulties not as obstacles but as the medium through which their energy signatures could become more distinct, more refined. Over time, these soulful pings became more potent, more nuanced. Like cosmic beacons, they began to attract soulmates back into a collective orbit. Each reunion was a moment of celestial alignment, a rekindling of ancient connections, filling the souls with a sense of completeness and purpose. And so, every emitted energy signature and collaborative endeavor wove a new, intricate pattern into the tapestry of their Earthly lives, creating a bridge to their celestial origins. As each soul found its counterparts, the heavenly constellation they had once formed seemed to reclaim its brilliance, glowing with renewed fervor. The mission endures, both on Earth and in Heaven: to develop individual expression while fostering a collective, eternal unity. The energy signatures continue to flow through the digital maze and across the universe, each a note in a cosmic symphony of reconnection and love. –– courtesy of ChatGPT with George's prompting.
