So I am trying to describe a Clarity Playshop (instead of workshop) as a team building exercise for corporate. Can be done in person or virtually. It's a team building exercise to help people problem solve using metaphor brainstorming and storytelling. This takes away some of the high stakes of being too close to the problem and to help build consensus on a way forward. Increases productivity and team collaboration.

Hi 🤗 thanks Erin for inviting me to this community and for encouraging me to share! I'm currently, since one month, on a small island in south of Philippines and one week ago on monday morning a fire destroyed several small family owned shops 😪 on a beach we went to almost every day for either scubadiving or swimming 🥽🏝 I started a GoFundMe to support the local families affected ❤️‍🩹 all info in the link⬇️ If you are able to donate some euros that would mean a LOT for these people 🫶🏻 https://gofund.me/07cb42a7e It's the first time I do an online fundraising and I can feel it sparks something in me to collaborate and come together 👭 I know there's so so many people in need around the world and I felt very called to do this for these families since I can help them directly here and now☀️ I'm leaving the island on thursday early morning local time so there's only 1 day left to contribute if you like. On Wendsday morning local time I'll withdraw cash and give directly to the families ❤️

On this day one year ago, the doors opened to this humble little free community—and with it, the Hola Magnolia Virtual Village grew from one Skool community to two. From the Accomplice Accelerator to The Changemaker's Haven and now the R.I.S.E. and Shine Collective, I thank you all for being on this journey of discovery not only with me, but with each other. In one year, we have completed over 60 hours of webinars, another 40+ hours of coaching, mentoring and stargazing sessions, and exchanged countless words of care, encouragement, and knowledge. We are 227 members strong, and soon to be growing steadily stronger in numbers with each day! I look forward to a 2026 filled with even more fellowship, learning, and growing in impact as we design the world in a way that would make ALL of our ancestors so immensely proud of who we are becoming as a society in spite of so many forces working against us. If you'd like to leave a gesture of support, you all know me: I'd LOVE for you to pay it forward by funding our first campaign of 2026: the R.I.S.E. Global Black Community Founding Member Fund! We're aiming to sponsor 4 seats for four Black impact professionals, entrepreneurs and creators as an homage to our Reparations Race roots. You can contribute to the fund in one of two ways: Contributions of $1100 USD or more, up to a full seat: https://buy.stripe.com/9B69ALeSnbDX6D1fB7cEw02 Contributions under $1100 USD: https://ko-fi.com/holamagnolia Any and all contributions are so important to us, regardless of size. It all adds up, and you are supporting Hola Magnolia's ongoing rebuild (as you always do) in the process. All contributions over $1100 USD will receive a complimentary Ask the Identity & Belonging Coach session to gift or take! Thank you all so much for your support and for being part of this incredible community. Here's to more of what we do best in 2026: caring for each other while making this world a better place for all. 🌟

Happy 2026. On the last day of Kwanzaa it is a tradition to ask: Who am I; am I really who I say I am; and am I all I ought to be? Imani (Faith) "To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle." I was today years old when I realize that Imani the super model's name meant Faith. As someone recently unemployed, Faith sustains me. Faith that I am enough and will find or create opportunities, faith in my immediate family and network, and faith in the goals of this community. This is going to be a struggle because faith is living with uncertainty and believing the impossible is possible. I can honestly say that I am not all I ought to be. I'm not proud of it, nor am I going to beat myself up. I think it's taking this long to process recent events and to understand how toxic corporate environments can be. We have to build something different. I have the Faith that we can. This is why the power center seems to divide us because together, we are unstoppable. Thoughts?

FINAL EDIT: The circle has been rescheduled to Sunday 9/21 at 1pm Central US/8pm Central Europe. Same registration link will work. Thank you all for voting. I hope most folks can still make it. See everyone there! EDIT: Please see the two-option poll pinned in the comments! Hi all, the little one woke up with trouble breathing that worsened throughout the day, so the phone nurse recommended we bring her to the ER. She’s on a 3x nebulizer treatment, doing fine. Let’s plan to push the circle back by one hour to 1pm Central US/8pm Central Europe, but please check back here in case I have to move it again. This doesn’t feel serious enough to have to cancel or move to tomorrow, but I will let you all know if that happens. Hope to see you all then! x
