Can You Empower Like An Elephant?

Wow, what a fun few days I had teaching a Refresher Course and the Align Your Shine event last week!
One of the things I talked about during the Align Your Shine event was: empowered people empower people.
I shared the example of female elephants. Nature photographers, scientists, and naturalists have noticed an amazing social dynamic called an ‘elephant circle’. These female elephants are fierce protectors of each other.
Did you know that when a mama elephant gives birth the others gather around to celebrate by making trumpeting sounds, and also protect her and the baby by circling around them?
We all know that when we give birth to new ideas, new situations in our lives, new creations, etc. it’s so much easier to do when we feel surrounded and protected by other women, and people in our lives that we know truly have our backs. To have someone help celebrate or protect our dreams is such an empowering experience.
So…how can we do the same for other women?
In what ways are you being a fierce protector for your friends, family, and even acquaintances?
Who do you know that is ‘birthing’ something new and could use a few words of celebration, or support?
Who can you gather ‘round this week to help feel special and supported?
Thanksgiving is coming up, so think about those in your own family that you may encounter this week. Who can you encourage with your words, your actions, or maybe just a sincere hug?
Photographer David Yarrow has captivated the world with this beautifully powerful photo of an elephant circle.
Shine On,
