-Worth the Growth Mission-Core Principles
Conflict Through a New Lens
In Conflict is the OPPORTUNITY to learn how to love better.
Rooted in Learning and Growth
All humans have the invitation and opportunity for learning and growth. We aim to take that invitation and opportunity ourselves in our stories, and invite others into our experience.
Growing from Conflict Requires Courage
Struggle and Discomfort are a natural part of what can bring us to growth
Centered on Curiosity
Defensiveness and self-justification often act as barriers to resolution. We aim to lean into curiosity, listening, and understanding instead.
Community Agreement
Respectfully Message Privately to Help Resolve Questions and Concerns.
This is intended to be a safe space for me and any contributors who share their vulnerable and courageous stories of learning. We will from time to time be wrong. Because of this, we are committed to learning, being open, and respecting better opinions. In this, we hope to make way for learning, forgiveness, and communal growth. Rude or abusive language will not be tolerated.
Pause Before Posting
We encourage pausing before posting, and pausing before messaging. Contributions and all published posts are reviewed against the following three questions:
Is what I’m saying Kind?
Is it Necessary?
Is it Centered on Growth?
Connect with Us For Richer Context and Greater Learning.
You will notice that there are very intentional options for you to engage with me and any contributors. We hope that you answer the invitation and strive for deeper connection.
I am a lifelong learner, learning coach, and advocate of education. I am growing in leadership, a peace builder, and a steward of our Earth. I’m not perfect at any of it, but that’s not the point of being a growing human being.
As we navigate this new decade as a human community, I’ve found the need for a space that champions curiosity over knowing. So, I have created this space for us to share and champion those times in our life when we’ve been ignorant or wrong, but have grown into greater love and community.
Here, I share stories and thoughts about love, conflict, and this wonderful life journey. Thanks for being here!
I hope you find something you can connect with, and feel inspired to lovingly share and connect with me, as well.
With Love,
Krystelle
