Women Leaders... This is for You!




Are you creating cheerleaders that are your peers? 

OR

Are you only interested in gathering cheerleaders that are followers?



Kimberly Reyes has created the community where you can have both! You need both to rise! 



It has been in the works for years. It is all done with intention and every tiny detail is planned and deliberate... The beauty is that it is so organic... the community is enveloped in a safe harbor and never know the mechanics that creates the magic. Beautiful to see & experience...



What is the difference?


A community of peers that cheer lead for you know where you are, how you feel & can identify with the journey that you are on. They know how to help you, support you and authentically want to see you succeed. There is no need for competition. This is a community of We's: egos are left at the door. 
Everyone has the opportunity to rise together as one.


Have you create a community of cheerleaders that follow you and support you? 
Bravo! Good Work! You are an Influencer! 
Now what? 
  • Who do you call when you fell insecure or have a bad day?
  • Who shows up for you when you have had an off the charts day and you want to share your successes?
  • Who has your back & can give you authentic feedback?
  • Who has been on the journey for a while, can share vetted resources, trusted partners and just get's it?
  • Where do you find a community of peers to create deep authentic relationships, people that you can trust and rely on? 
Followers Can't...
  • You can't tell your followers when you are having a bad day. It changes their opinion of you & hurts your brand.
  • You can't brag to your followers.... it leaves a bad taste in their mouths and dilutes your influence.
  • You can't count on your followers to have your back: some will & some won't... but, rarely will you get trusted feedback. People are afraid to be isolated by the influencer.
  • You cannot get consistently trusted referrals for resources from Newbies. They just don't have enough time in the game.
  • Where do you find a community of your peers to create deep authentic relationships, with people that you can trust & rely on???? Kimberly Reyes Energy Summit Community


Without both... It is just all about being a ME...

As we rise… We need both. 
Kimberly Reyes has created a unique community to help provide you with BOTH!

It is impossible to Make and sustain the rise Alone!
We all need the support of community!

The Kimberly Reyes Energy Summit Community

is a Safe harbor where Givers come together and are Creating Magic!

This unique community has been a game changer for all involved & the outcome between the connections and collaborations have been exponential!

 At your level... You need to look outside of your community to find your tribe. Kimberly is hand selecting women from across the country and matching them with the "right fit" ... Kimberly Reyes is setting everyone up for Success!

" The strength of Community doesn't need to be
bound by geography...
the strength
of Community
HAS
to be bound by hearts"
~ Kimberly Reyes 



We are all rising Together as One!


You are cordially invited to join Us…


In the spirit of being authentic & open... As a leader & Influencer... It's exhausting & lonely to keep it all going without a community of equal peers to have your back. 

My community has my back. We will have your's too... 



aLWAYS WITH THE DEEPEST GRATITUDE....

Vulnerability & Fear... The Gift.... An Open Letter to the Women in My Life...





Food for thought....
As we convene together in the Kimberly Reyes Lifestyle by Design Community and the Journey continues... 

To truly be vulnerable, open and going the extra mile on that journey takes something BIG and POWERFUL. We are on this journey together... but we all join it from a different place. What is easy for one may be difficult for the other and vice versa. When you are conscious of that, it allows you to receive the other person from where they stand, instead of projecting onto them. You truly gain the ability to see them without judgement.... Just from a place of love.

Why do we stay closed off and have such a difficult time being 
open and vulnerable? 
It's because we are afraid that we will be 
judged and that people will turn their backs on us and leave 
when they see the real us.

I publicly offer my letter to her, that may have been private, as food for thought for the entire community. I am speaking for myself now. But, I encourage you all to think about what this means. What it would mean to you and what it looks like to offer it to someone else... to authentically embrace the words and deliver them from your heart. 

I have been gifted this message twice in my life from close friends and probably would have never been able to move into vulnerability and sharing without that security. 
Read the message below to my friend and one of my alliance partners. Is this missing in your life? .... What would it look like to sit and receive 


Dear Friend,

I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU.
As my friend, You are safe. You are INVITED to show up as you are... authentic, vulnerable, open and exposed. The good, the bad and the ugly... cause it's not always pretty for any of us. Once I invite you into my inner circle... and friend... I have... I will not leave you. That is my word to you.
I respect you. I will not judge you. I will keep your words in confidence. It is a true gift of friendship when you allow yourself to be vulnerable, authentic and show your soft underbelly....
You are invited to show up how ever your heart tells you to. You do not need to be afraid....

I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU.

Sent from my heart to yours with love,
Kimberly 



Kimberly Reyes is DETERMINED to change the way that Women Network and Collaborate together! One Woman, One Event, One Network, One Community at a time! If you want a safe place where peers that are hand selected to support you, who are truly creating community to see the other successful, and are all rising to the top together as ONE…Join Us...

Do you matter in the lives of others? You Matter...








Do you matter in the lives of others? 

Photographer Paul Cockrell has made a difference in mine...


Anyone familiar with my events knows that I honor and appreciate art and artists. You will always find art, wine, cameos, pearls, sailing, water, boating, spas, etc... in everything that I do... The things that speak to my soul... What do I say? "If it doesn't make me happy or feed my soul, I am not doing it anymore!" Art speaks to my soul and evokes an emotional response. I love to share that with others and my design clients know that I introduce original art into each project... either as a purchase or a gift.



Art has played a major role in my life and I don't think that the artist always knows the impact that they create with their work.... All the pieces fell into place when I created and planned my last Energy Summit and had just 3 weeks to pull it together. One piece was that to my surprise, I was invited to hold it in Placerville (my home town that I had only recently visited for the first time in almost 20 years) and I had just started following an amazing photographer that happened to live in Placerville: Paul Cockrell . When I asked him to meet my group, he graciously agreed. 
Little did he know why that mattered so much to me.




How can two people see a small town in such divergent ways and how do they finally come together as one? 

The town that I only pictured in my minds eye in black and white for more than 15 years... Has been brought to life and infused with color... It's charm and character that had been lost in my heart has been pulled forth with the obvious love and care seen through the photographer's lens. Paul has the amazing ability to make cold inanimate objects feel warm and inviting... Not just buildings, but metal and stone. He has gifted me with a shift of how I see my childhood town and enabled me to recall good memories that had long been put away... A trigger of color and warmth where there was none.




The big house on the hill looked pretty from the outside, but the neighbors knew. People in the community saw my family one way, when the reality was askew. We moved to Placerville when I was 6 and I left when I was 19. Thirteen years of hell. You never know what goes on behind closed doors. Once I pulled away, it was physically impossible to go back. I would start to have panic attacks as soon as I would start the ascent up the foothills... Many miles away...  That was my reality and I just stayed away, blocking it from my thoughts.

A Facebook page and reconnecting with some wonderful souls from high school made me take another look. Opened my eyes and mind to the possibilities of even thinking about that town again, the time spent and experiences had...

More tools to shift my paradigm from one extreme to right of center... Would be the art that Paul unknowingly offers...



Bringing back the wondrous memories of a child growing up in a small town... 

Good friends, slumber parties... long bus rides and time to chat...

Sitting with anticipation on the curb near the Bell Tower... eating warm peanuts, watching down the street, enjoying the parade and keeping an eye out for the horses pulling the wagon trains... Flashy saloon girl costumes with stockings and heals... carts with goodies for sale... and the county fair that would follow the parade...





Exploring for hours the fields, meadows and forests... Large boulders partially buried in the ground,
worn out places in the rocks where the Indians had ground egg corns... Surrounded by majestic oak
trees that spurred on the imagination of a child and the life of the women grinding food for their families... the children that played in the creeks, valleys and streams...

Summers spent rafting down the American River, wading in looking for tadpoles, panning for gold...


Chasing cows that had gotten out, horses that needed a saddle, baby goats that needed to be bottle fed... or gathering the eggs that the chickens had laid. The various babies that lived in a play pen and needed their noses wiped and bellies full. Bunnies that multiplied... lessons learned... Animals of all sorts passed through and needed care.

The higher mountains with the smell of pine. The feel and smell of the damp forest floor and the crunch under foot... The hidden swimming holes and ponds for fishing...

Climbing trees... So many trees...

The hours, days and years of exploring unattended and the beauty that was hidden away in my heart.



Paul Cockrell is following his passion. An engineer by trade. His art speaks to his sole and it shows in his work... It spoke to my soul. Thank you to Paul and check out more of his spectacular work. I am a fan. I am a Big Fan and I hope that you will be too.

You can find his work in person at Gold Country Artists Gallery on Main Street in Placerville. 

You do matter. Just like Paul, who never knew the impact that his photography had on me... I am POSITIVE that you too move through the lives of others... touching, impacting and influencing those around you. What are you gifts? I ask my consulting clients to sit and make a daily gratitude journal. Not your ordinary gratitude journal... But, start paying attention to your day. Start noting the things that you do throughout your day that you do to be of value. What makes you special? What makes you... You? I think that you will be surprised and that you will begin to see yourself differently.

You Matter! I promise that you are making a difference in the world and touching others more than you could ever imagine. 
I honor You. I appreciate You. You Matter!

Go out and tell someone else today that they matter and share why they matter to you. The biggest gifts in my life have been from strangers. That is changing and evolving now. But, it has made a huge difference in my life. You can make that difference in the life of someone too! Do it big and let someone other than those in your inner circle know that they matter... and why. That is a precious gift that you can give.

I invite you to come back and share your experience... or go onto my facebook page ( don't forget to like it while you are there) and share in the post thread... Your story too, can change someone's day today.

With Gratitude,

Confessions of a recovering ME into a We.....Social Media

Hopefully, this series is an eye opener. It is delivered from a place of love. I too was a ME for years... Until I learned to be a WE. It's been a Journey.... 
Life is More Beautiful as a WE.


When we know better... We can do better....

Kimberly Reyes Lifestyle by Design is ALL about making more meaningful connections Online and Offlline. You can shift any paradigm if you are able to see and want to change! ANY!!!


ONLINE

Facebook... Linkedin... Yelp... Klout... Google+... Pinterest... and.... MORE!!!

What you do online affects the way that people see and connect with you. 
Many people have no idea how they appear online... 

Are you a ME... ME... ME online? Do you take your ME message and post it on your page and every other group page that you can find to post on... over and over?

Etiquette and and eye opener: Not Good... You are running into the same people in many groups. You are seen as a ME and it is not serving you. 
Your message is watered down and people get desensitized. 


Truth is that people touch base because you either have a message, thematic posts (beautiful images, inspirational quotes, great articles) OR they are following you personally. If you are like me, people follow my story and personal journey. There is a lot of me and I involved in telling that story.  But, there are ways to involve others and acknowledge the people that influence you... and your journey. 

It is possible to turn a ME page into a WE space. 

  1. Be strategic with your business posts... don't post all at one time... post at different times of day (particularly if it is exactly the same).
  2. Post things that ask others to respond, reply or share. OR ALL 3!
  3. Edify! Thank people publicly. You may want to ask first. Not everyone wants their name used. However, it is a common business networking practice to thank, acknowledge and edify the person that has given you their time and attention. You are not bragging, boasting or name dropping when you post about a wonderful encounter you have had... You are honoring the person that has gifted you with their time.
  4. Acknowledge who the source is when you share a pic or post. Many people spend A LOT of time finding sources and post worthy material. It is encouraged to share. Be gracious and share when you know who it is from. 



Are you positive or are you an Eeyore online? 

How are you building your following? Do you end up having a page of bitchers and moaners? 

OR

Do you send out and receive Positive energy and build followers that are cheerleaders for you and your brand?


FACEBOOK EMOTIONS ARE CONTAGIOUS: Feelings shared on Facebook – via negative or positive posts or status updates – are contagious among online friends, according to a new University of California study. The good news is that according to the research, positive Facebook posts are more influential than negative ones, spreading the cheer among others. Thank you Illythia Lichau for sharing :-)


When we know better... We can do better....


Let's all do our BEST! It's not fun to be a Lone Wolf! It's exhausting and You're not as Productive  as you can be! If you want to learn more, I talk about going from ME to WE in this popular teleseminar! March SOLD OUT!

Join us for the teleseminar starting in April!

Confessions of a recovering ME into a We.....Master Manifestor



When I talk about being a WE instead of a ME... It's a Lifestyle and Mindset. It is woven through out your life and encompasses how you move through the world. It really should be part of who you are and not a superficial action. Manifesting is fueled by this way of thinking, living and interaction.

Manifesting is all about energy:  thoughts, actions, intentions, balance and more - all flowing together.

Who Is Interested in Learning More? I have been asked to do another workshop on manifesting... or a series of 1 Day workshops. Truly learning to shift your paradigms and manifest your destiny. Yes. I do it differently. Yes. I teach it differently. Yes. That is why people keep asking me to teach it. I am a Master Manifestor with years of proven success. Just like everything else I teach.... There are building blocks - simple tools and techniques that you can implement into your life. I break it down, make it manageable and easy to learn. I don't present this huge mystic concept. It is simplified for success....

Once you make manifesting a part of your life it works on it's own. Have you ever heard the phrase, "Careful what you wish for?" I know that my thoughts and words affect the outcomes in my life. I am mindful of what I say and think. There are times that I have put things in motion that feels like a freight train moving forward and that I have to be able to truly show up to be able to handle it... That train is moving ahead with or without me. I have made it so. You can make it So as well! What ever your heart desires... When you set your intentions into motion, big things will happen. Will you be able to truly show up and receive what you have asked for? That is part of the cycle. Make it happen and then follow through.

As long as you are living a balanced life and you're energy is flowing... manifesting flows through your life effortlessly... If you are in crisis... it can still work for you... it just takes more energy and effort on your part to get it flowing....

If something is in my conscious mind - it will manifest into my life in one way or another. I don't try to control it... I just acknowledge it when it appears and I am grateful. Those around me don't question it anymore. Sometimes they say it's freaky, sometimes they think it's cool. BUT, it is evident and consistent.


FOR EXAMPLE:

In my design business I have a Yelp page. I have had it up for about... 4 years or more... I have never had one call for work as a referral from Yelp. It was not my intention. I just filled it out for a landing page and to cover all of my bases online.

One day after working with a client, I identified the need for her to have more reviews on her yelp page so that she could get more calls and clients. That is where a good number of her leads were coming from. We needed to up the anti... so to speak. I went online to all of my social media sites and asked people to leave her positive feedback on her Yelp page so that she could get more business. I never thought about myself and I never asked for anything for myself. It was not in my conscious at all... I do not operate that way.

Within 24 hours I had 3 solid Yelp calls, leads and appointments. 2 paid cash for my consultations. One was to bid on a large commercial project...

It get's better. The first client was lovely. Paid me and told me that I was worth every penny. Who doesn't want clients like that?

I was consulting on a remodel that the client was going to flip. She continued to ask me to consult on her personal home. "What other types of services do you offer? She started to explain how she had just had plans created by an architect and that she didn't feel comfortable with the design and she wasn't sure what to do.... FUNNY... I had just told my business coach Blaze Lazarony

 the week before that I had this service that I offered to clients that I wanted to start promoting. I do it all of the time, but have never advertised that I offer it: I take plans that have been created by an architect and I critique and correct the design. Very often architects are great at 2D drawings but the designs are not livable once built.  I can see the design on paper and see it spatially 3D in my head. I have the ability to describe that to my client. Walk them through the space and tell them what needs to be fixed... Play devil's advocate and then the architect can fix it on their end. This can save clients tens of thousands of dollars. It is fixed before the building starts. No mistakes, no change orders, reworks, lost time additional expenses. It's a life saver for many and I have kept a ton of homeowners from having a remodel that looks like what I call a Frankenstein house. You know them. The houses you walk into and say, "wow, this was a bad remodel..."

I spoke my desire out loud to my coach. I got the confirmation from the universe that I was headed in the right direction when my new manifested client asked me to do the service that I had just expressed in private to my coach. I asked for it... and it showed up. It happens just like a snowball picking up speed and along with desires and delivers them in a nice neat package.


This is my Life. Are You a WE or a ME? Do things come easily? Do you give and receive with grace and ease? When I changed from a ME to a WE... My life changed... You can too....

Confessions of a recovering ME into a We..... An introduction


Join me for a series of blogs really digging into this notion of Me, We, You and I... 
What is it and where do you fall?

Why does it matter?  If we shift our paradigm, what difference will it make in our lives?



ME into a We..... or as I first heard it... Me to We...

The verbiage was introduced to me during my first year in college. For decades there has been a grass roots movement going through the university to shift the paradigm of young students and have them see the global community in a new way regarding the environment, consumption, our footprint, earth, resources, human interaction and  large scale and community. Me shifts to We as in One person being part of the global conscious community with shared resources. This movement has been accelerated with the access due to the Internet, and now the global community is smaller. 


Other Topics that refer to Me and We

  • Global - See yourself as part of a larger community.
  • Romantic Relationships - love yourself before you can truly love someone else or learn not to be selfish in a relationship so that you can function as a couple.
  • Don't be a lone wolf in business - Create a team 
  • Relationships from Solo Business to expanding a Customer Base... 



Me to We Conversations cover Macro topics like 
Global Cohesiveness & Micro topics regarding Self & Inner Circle Relationships



But... I haven't found... Anything in between


Me to We... As related to community in general - the Social & Professional Networks that we have the ability to create as We move through life. Not just with people that are like us, but the beauty of creating relationships with people that are not the same...



The topic is vast and yet it spurred on a thought and a discussion with my friend, mastermind partner and inner circle confidant Joie Gharrity of 113 Branding, that turned out to be quite intimate and hit very close to home. It's part of my brand and unique to my point of view. We talk a lot about community: at home and a far. There is much talk about self and self development/improvement. I don't think that there is enough focus on our personal connections with people outside of our intimate circle. Superficial connections don't benefit us personally or professionally. If they do... it is fleeting. Where is the satisfaction and Joy? Many times we end up feeling used, empty or as if time was expended without any reward.

Why does it matter and what is the benefit of creating and developing more meaningful relationships as you move through life?


This series is an exploration of life. What it looks like when we can shift our paradigms and move into a space where we are creating community closer to home. Establishing authentic connections through social, professional and intimate relationships. Making each interaction count and creating relationships that can last a lifetime.

As humans we all want to belong and feel like a part of community. I believe that part of the process of creating MORE meaningful relationships is knowing who you are, seeing and honoring the person in front of you, accurately seeing them for who they are, and learning how to be the hostess/host of your space(TM). The hardest part is recognizing that we are focused on Me. Not in a clinically narcissistic way... But, more in a lone wolf for life kind of way. More tomorrow.....
