Create your reflective community

Create Your Reflective Community

Posted on August 25, 2021April 7, 2022 by Kathryn Eyring

To create your reflective community means to consciously surround yourself with a like-minded community that is “reflective.”

There are two ways to define a reflective community.

A reflective community reflects, or mirrors, who you are, as in “Birds of a feather flock together.” In other words, it’s connected with your self-image and lifestyle.

A reflective community is also composed of deliberate thinking, consciously aware people who seek personal growth.

Why create your reflective community?

For guidance and advice
For unconditional support
For accountability

Where can you find your reflective community?

People you already know who are like-minded
Community events for a cause
Meetups or special interest groups

How can you start building your community intentionally?

Increase your awareness. Audit the circle of friends you interact with now
Create a list of people that inspire and motivate you
Take action! Ask them to meet with you; invite to coffee, lunch, or any event

This program has changed my life. I have to admit to being skeptical initially, but I’m a believer now. I am familiar with some of the concepts having been a Corporate Executive and College Professor, but the way the material is structured and presented is affecting my behaviors and attitudes in ways that frankly surprise me. With guidance from the course leaders I am undertaking a major project that has been on my bucket list for years and I fully expect to accomplish it. I am learning so much from this well-organized, interesting and informative program. ~Glenn B., December 2020

For those seeking inspiration, motivation, and clarity toward establishing and accomplishing personal goals, this may help you to progress toward those goals with a higher level of enthusiasm and self-confidence. The course guides and encourages participants to develop a more positive mindset, identify and overcome internal and external challenges, and establish a better understanding of how you personally can take purposeful steps to achieve a more fulfilling, healthy, empowered life. ~Lori, June 2021

My retirement became the excuse to relax… no pressures, no stress. I now realize I want to experience life more fully engaged. The program has provided the knowledge and guidance to do that!

The workbook, live sessions with the follow-up replays are such a great help to me in establishing a plan for both my immediate and long-term goals and aspirations. The additional 2:1 meetings with both Thought Coaches have been incredible opportunities to personalize the plan that works for me!

I’m so grateful for this opportunity! ~Nancy B., January 2021
