Bravely Connected Communities

What does creating community look like?
It looks like locals coming together to create something wonderful for everyone!

In Ogden these parents came together to create an Easter Egg hunt for the kids. Their businesses sponsored, they rallied volunteers and made it happen 🙌🏻🙌🏻

This is what can happen when people start to care about their community and step up to create it.

Celebrating .wow for what you did for the community this Easter weekend 🙏🏻❤️

Pure joy ❤️
We have been hosting the Dream Academy in my community for the past year and a half, and a a now a leadership course called Culture Creators just recently for people who want to have skills to step up and lead in the community.

One mom has a dream to bring moms together. She and a team hosted a Valentines dance and it was so beautiful to see!

We don’t have much for families in the community yet, and I was so proud of her for stepping up with courage to lead and create!

I have found that many have dreams and passions, we just don’t know where to start. When we are given the “how” and then people to surround us - we can see the passions inside us come to life.

I can’t wait to see what they do for moms and families next!
So proud of you Melissa Neidig 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

And what a great team! Sandy Pittet Veronika Kotasova Stephanie Piskopos and others 👏🏻👏🏻

Repost from

this is why we need bravely connected communities more than ever. So people can practice friendship again..

So there’s always a place where connection is an option. But it will feel brave and vulnerable. But maybe that’s exactly what we need?

We desperately need connection - because builds resilience in kids.
Rebuilding the village may be the most powerful thing we can do right now.

Very excited to announce that Big Brothers Big Sisters is partnering with Ogden for Ogden adults to mentor Ogden youth.

This is so needed. There are stories of our youth that will break your heart with stabbings, and bullying. They need us.

If you’re interested in being a mentor, let me know 🌟

Thank you to Ken and Sarah for all your hard work in getting this set up 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Modern isolation doesn’t look like loneliness.
It looks like proximity without connection.
We wave, but we don’t talk.

Culture creators is coming soon to help solve our problem of disconnection in communities.

Sometimes with conflict,
Usually with avoidance.

Interpersonal skills are more important than ever to build connected communities. Culture creators is coming soon to share with your community how to build these crucial skills.

You can show up and still feel unseen.
Belonging changes everything.

But do we know how to create this kind of belonging? Culture creators is coming soon to a community near you to teach you how 🌟

It’s often a lack of connection, clarity, or cohesion.

How do you create communities who are engaged?
Culture creators is coming soon to help you create an engaged community 🙌🏻

have you ever thought,
Somebody should do something.
I wish our community felt more connected.
I want to help, I just don’t know where to start.

If that’s the case, culture creator was built for you.

It’s a course for communities, for their residence who deeply care about their neighborhood. Who feel the nudge to step into leadership to create a bravely connected place where everyone feels they belong.

It sounds simple, but in our fractured world there are certain skills we have forgotten. We want to bring those skills to communities so we can see our community thrive.

If you were interested in information, comment ME and we will get that to you
