Week 43: Contemplation; Community
Now, letâs sweep the brainâŠ
Early on, I knew I had not found "the one" community for me. Instead, I felt like a round peg in a square hole.
I was a chameleon in high school. I could feel comfortable sitting with my marching band mates, field hockey friends, or the academic types. However, in reflection, I realized I was a bridge connecting these groupsâselecting friends with similar hearts and bringing them together.
In the entrepreneurial space, I naturally became a bridge again. I can spend time visiting a variety of networking opportunities, bridging gaps, and connecting women that just need to know each other.
There is value of large, extensive networks that can cover a lot of ground and support people from far and wide. You get to be a part of something big, put their logo on your website, and know you are a DM away from anything you need to be connected to.
But, for me, these networks feel square. I can fit in when I need to, but I'm left feeling like I want more or that it could be so much better.
I wanted to find a place where I could belong.
So, I created my own space. A community where a friend walks in, and we all cheer that they have made the time to join us. We're excited for them to sit down, feel safe sharing their thoughts, support each other, and be "called out when they need to be because it comes from a place with their best interest at heart. The goal is to help each other succeed and grow together**."
We are creating a space with deep connection.
A community where people:
"value the women and their willingness to have difficult conversations.**"
"feel like they belong.**"
are "glad there is a space to listen deeply and build Community.**"
"don't want mediocre.**" ("And why would we settle for anything less when we know THIS exists?!**"
"give me the courage to step up when something was difficult and make a change.**"
We are a community that focuses on being human first.
I started Coffee Connection to create a safe space for women to connect with other like-minded women. I learned that we were looking for like-hearted women who want to have Curated Conversations.
When I asked the Chickbook Creative Community what our community meant to them, they responded with beautiful words such as:
Support*
Friendship*
Together*
Belonging*
Rewrite
Gathering
Partnership
Connection
Coffee
Action
Circle
Fun
Us
We're beginning to find our tribe.
