Taking inspiration from @Jon Dawson's post about what we're working towards for the week with some of his prior reflective prompts: 1) What am I working on this week? 2) What action will I take? 3) What is holding me back? 1. What I'm working on? Practicing reading/presenting final scripts aloud for mindful self-leadership course. 2. What actions will I take? There's 10-modules (about 4,000 words per module) in the course, so I'm breaking it up into 2-3 modules per day for practice. 3. What is holding me back? I've had some hesitation around continuing to edit or refine parts of the scripts for continuity and flow, where I start to question my credibility in the information and delivery of the content. Feeling like I could add more or go deeper. I had a supportive coaching session with @Reko Vitae last week that has helped me ground in authentic energy. We quickly got to a theme thru a limiting context/belief I hold ("I have to show my value/worth in order to connect with other people") and created a short mantra that has stayed with me across social and professional settings ("Standing in my ancient wisdom"). Holding that in my awareness, I've maintained connection to my intuition to know what feels true to me in moments of hesitation, whether it's with work/writing or social interactions. Curious if there's anything you all are working towards this week? Cheers

You will want to make sure you attend this call! So far we have been laying a foundation, introducing many concepts around coaching, projects, transformation etc. All leading towards what really creates the thing you WANT in life. We are not promising you will get it, we are inviting you to claim it for yourself. If you haven't made the last few calls, or if you have yet to attend one, don't beat yourself up. We are always inviting you back in. This week we are going to be creating the context for something new and supporting you to see further than we have gone so far. We look forward to a full group, all the familiar faces and hopefully some new ones. With love Manu and Reko

Project - eLearning mindful leadership course for corporate environments Measurement - Have an online mindfulness course available for purchase that is catered to corporate leaders. Timeline - Iterated target date from March 31st to May 31st. After realizing I was placing my value outwardly (on other people's perspectives) instead of what I believe in and value for myself I expanded the scope and increased the quality of production to play for a bigger impact. Next Milestones - Edit Ad Scripts - February 17th - Finalize content scripts - March 1st - Film content videos and ads - March 10-12th - Post insights weekly on LinkedIn - March 1st - Finalize web/sales page - April 30th - Launch email and ad campaign - May 14th - Launch course on own webpage and course site - May 31st How it's been going - From a project progression standpoint it's been moving along with momentum. I've had weekly goals that I've been meeting as I am collaborating with an editor and sales copywriter on the content and sales page. The adjusted timeline stayed in place for the last two months and we've been executing on each milestone. I've seen when I work with others, I place more significance on accountability. Which I'd like to cultivate more on my own when not working with others. From an experience standpoint I feel constrained - that I put a lot of pressure on myself to appear knowledgeable and credible to others, lacking trust in what I do create (written or in interactions around the mindful self-leadership topics). Feeling like I could add or contribute more. This has been an edge of growth for me and where I use a lot of energy in rumination/post-reflection which disconnects me from new creativity. Declaring items "complete" has been helpful closing the loop a bit here and I've felt more like I'm creating with a natural rhythm after acknowledging something complete. Reframing the project as a continued experiment has also fueled some strength to view myself as the creator of the experience.

Sharing my latest IG post here: Ive worked with men for the past 10 years and the single most common reason men seek the help of others is: Lack of VISION Many men think having a vision will somehow transform their lives, give them purpose, give them clarity and relief from the confusion of their current existence. But the truth is that a vision requires the first steps be take into the total dark. When you read a book, you don't know what it will say, what answers it will give you, and what doors it will open. When you venture out into the world, you dont know what will come of it. The fact that life is full of the unknown is terrifying. But a vision doesn't change that. The vision you seek comes when you have spent long enough in the unknown and allowed the noise to settle. The vision becomes clear as you learn that it isn't going to solve anything. I see men spin their wheels for years, haunted by the idea they have of a perfect life. This impossible idea remains forever over the horizon. Life is not a destination that you one day arrive at. There is a reason vision quests are often done in the dark, fasting for days, alone. When the illusions of the senses quiet for long enough, then clarity is able to enter. Actions are often small, but if they are purposeful then they are also meaningful. Don't rush into action in order to distract from the unknown. Be with the unknown so you can know when, and how, to act.

Something that arose for me over the weekend was a desire for consistency. In that spirit, I have harvested the following 3 prompts that I will be utilizing to set my project into motion: 1) What am I working on this week? 2) What action will I take? 3) What is holding me back? Join me in this inquiry.
