With an ever evolving world, one of our pillars is Elson Consulting Group (EGC) is to create good stewards of the environment. With our continued dreaming, we were curious in what ways that we can push that forward in creating great stewards of the world while also challenging ourselves on how we can continue to empower the individual to be effective and have a greater sense of purpose and value with self and in community as we all navigate, transition, and adapt to the shifts in all of our own lived realities. It is important to inner-stand that everything starts with self, and is the basis for effectively connecting us with one another.
“We are not trying to create salvation for others. We are here to help you to be less dependent and amplify the need to reawaken the agency within yourself and to create a space for folks to discover anew through the revelatory paths we are collectively engaging”. -- Omowale Elson, ECG Vice President for Growth & Strategic Partnerships.
EGC invites you to continue the work beyond the workspace and encourages you all on how to be in community with self, unifying with others, bridging hearts, minds, and hands, so that the work spaces will become truly inspirational, innovative, and transformational!

It requires you to trust yourself and be bold to listen to your voice so that you can become A good trusting steward for the change you, your organization, and your family needs.
You may ask how we get there? It starts with YOU.
CommUnity: Centering the U in Community
This month, we invite you to explore the reintroduction of being in community with self. As we all navigate this world as the beings that we are, it is imperative that time is taken to re-center ourselves and get to know and innerstand ourselves on our own while being in community with others. Investigate the light and shadows that are within you in order to emerge into our highest senses of self, we should continue the life long journey to heal ourselves, learn self accountability, and reflect on who we really are and find a way to continue that in a collective space as well.
As we kick off this reintroduction of self, we invite you to try the Note to Self activity. This is a self reflection activity that can be whatever you want it to be, all you need is to curate something, a piece of something to yourself. It can be a letter, a poem, a collage, a painting, a drawing, a song, a video; the possibilities are endless. As you take time for yourself to do this activity, we encourage you to explore and include your dreams, aspirations, goals, manifestations while reflecting on who you are in that present moment, and envisioning who you would like to be in the future. After your creative process, you can then store away your personal note/ creation and set a time in the future 6 - 12 months down the line, to revisit your past self and reflect on the journey to your present self and moment and finding your way back to yourself and looking beyond.
