SoulSteps Community Shared Agreements

Effective date: 29/10/2021

One of the ways in which we differ to many other Facebook Groups is that we don't really do 'RULES'. We operate from a Shared Agreement and Core Values space. 

We invite you to read, agree to and uphold these commitments while you work, learn and grow in here.

**Shared Agreements**

We agree to participate in the daily posts.

We agree to Be Loving to ourselves and others.

We commit to being nice and fair with each other and respecting one another without judgment. We will exercise compassion, patience, empathy and support to one another at all times.

We agree to Be Truthful

We commit to always telling the truth (including operating under your real profile with the name that appears on all your official legal documents)

and never exaggerating or lying. We will only share things which are useful and relevant and will not whinge or moan without exploring solutions to our challenges. We commit to not repeating personal stories we hear or taking screenshots of anything we see inside the group. What is discussed in the group, stays in the group.

We agree to Be Joyful

We commit to not taking life 'too' seriously... we agree to play and have some FUN here!

We agree to Use the Threads when posting in the Group

Note - Not posting to the main wall yourself. This will keep a tidy house for us all and ensure that we never lose anything you have to say. There is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to make sure that the group is managed smoothly.

We will reach out for help inside the group in the “Be Social” thread when we need it. We are all here to learn from each other.

We will use the "Be Inspired" Thread for any memes, quotes, podcasts, books recommendations.

We agree to actively participate. This creates trust and allows us to show up fully and authentically. What we put in is what we will get out. We understand that, while anonymity and confidentiality are core values of the group, we are ultimately responsible for the level of detail we wish to disclose in an online setting. We participate and share information with the understanding that the membership of the group will constantly evolve as people join and leave over time. Should we wish to remove any of our comments within the group at any time, we have the right to do so. It is not the responsibility of Team NCB to remove the content posted by any individual, unless it is in breach of the group’s Shared Agreements.

We agree to operate from a growth mindset or flow mindset. If we come across a fixed way of thinking we agree to look for a different perspective or solutions around this challenge.

We agree NOT to:

• Upload pictures of physical injury/violence/abuse/medical procedures or anything of a sexual nature.
• Curtain twitch (observe without getting involved)
• Type overly graphic descriptions of any of the above
• Post to the Main wall. 
• Contact Nicola directly. Please use the [email protected] email address if you need to.
• Invite non-members to meetings online or in person

Live Online Events (Including Live Q&A's)

We agree that we will not allow another person (adult or child) to be in the same room or be privy to information shared in any live online event. 

We consent to being recorded on Live Q&A events, with the understanding that the recording will be shared inside the private Facebook group to enhance our shared learning experience.

If there is evidence that you are operating outside of these shared agreements you will be removed from the group immediately with no explanation. You will be blocked from all of Nicola’s social media channels.

**Core Values**

We have a set of core values in this group. They are a two way street and are reciprocal:

Anonymity & Confidentiality

We treat your story as if it were our own and we require you to treat ours with the same respect.

Trust

We ask you to have faith in the tools. Believe in the process. I know operating outside your comfort zone is challenging. The only thing required from you now is action.

Open Mindedness

Old habits don’t open new doors. No one knows it all. However we know what works when it comes to Empowerment so lean into this new personal development adventure!

Honesty & Truth

Growth only happens in discomfort so we require you to show up fully, warts and all. Taking responsibility where appropriate will shunt you towards the full life you want to live.

Vulnerability

To be vulnerable means to show courage. We urge you to be brave and fight for yourself so you can carve out your vision for your future. Your vision will pull you forward.

Congruency

We will require you to make commitments to yourself and follow through on them. Your words must match your actions. This will bring you closer to living consciously, authentically and peacefully.

Action

Sitting on the fence will only cause splinters in uncomfortable places! Make a decision, stay committed to it and take action on it daily. You go nowhere staying still. We are here to guide you every step of the way towards your vision.

Zero Judgement

Everyone is in pain. We just choose to display it in different ways. When judgement walks into a room - love, creativity and freedom of speech walk out. We tolerate nothing less than zero judgement in all of our platforms. This is one of the main reasons why our clients are so happy and successful.

Ask permission first 

If you would like to offer unsolicited advice to another community member or member of Team NCB, always ask for permission to do so first. This protects everyone and strengthens bonds between us. 

Thank you for reading all of this. It means A LOT to us, that you care and are interested in getting the most out of your time here. We honour and respect that.

These Shared Agreements and Core Values are what make this group operate in a safe manner. Please respect them and each other. There is power in this work, people are changing their lives and their families lives for the better, so let’s keep it going!
