What we’re about
Welcome to everybody who wants to join!
We are David Ellis and Patrick Beardsley.
We both have a passion for personal growth. We read books, listen to podcasts, attend lectures & seminars, and watch YouTube videos on the topic.
We know Personal Growth is an endless journey and we enjoy sharing perspectives with other people.
What we picture is a very open and comfortable space for us to share our thoughts, experiences, and opinions with a foundation based on understanding, compassion, and respect to everyone in the group.
Please, don't feel stressed to read the book each time. If you can read it, great. If you can't, great. What's important is that you show up with authenticity, an open mind, and an open heart.
One final note. We are all different people, with different backgrounds and stories. While we assume nobody will do it on purpose, there may be times when we might feel offended by someone's comment or tone. Please, don't take it as an attack but rather as an opportunity to be honest with the other person and let them know how we felt. We are all on this Personal Growth learning journey together.
