Let's get uncomfy

POSTSLINKSRECOMMENDATIONS

Hey Reader,

Last week on my retreat we had the space "safely uncomfortable" and I want to bring that to Do the Effing Work.

You see, getting uncomfortable is where the real growth happens.

And ultimately I want this community to be about growth.

​In the kick off call on Monday I will be sharing my community guidelines, where the following is written:

Supporting clients as they have their hot seat, but not offering advice while they are there, unless they ask for it directly due to your expertise. Supporting other community members can look like: “we are here for you” or “I understand you” or “thank you for being so open with us” or “you can take as much time as you need"
​
It does NOT look like: offering conflicting or unsolicited feedback in the chat, pitching your services after they have been in session, directly messaging them or referring to their session outside of the community.
​
Respecting other community members by using their requested names, pronouns or professional titles when referring to them.
​
Holding space for the other member’s whole experience, even if it is different from yours and challenging yourself to see the world from their perspective.
​
When someone else has a hotseat I take confidentiality very seriously and expect you to too.

It is of the utmost importance to me that these values are upheld so that when a member comes to the group with a vulnerable share, they are heard, helped and held. I have been in too many communities where the founder has been held to some weird standard and it has been hard to give feedback or note suggestions, or disagree with a view.

Having your own point of view is uncomfortable.

Being honest is uncomfortable.

Being different is uncomfortable.

I want to give you a safe space to get weird and uncomfy.

I want to shout NO THAT'S BS and want you to feel safe to do the same.

It's why I can offer my promise so explicitly - one focus; do the work, one result; a 25% productivity leap. Anything outside of this is redundant.

​Join here. And I'll see you on the call on Monday.​
