One of the most rewarding aspects of our work is the workshops we facilitate across the country. Our Flawless team partners with programs to spread awareness about brain health, self-care and share a level of hope and compassion that is needed everywhere.
A favorite part of our Flawless workshops is our Flawless Post-It Note exercises. To begin, a member of our team sits in a circle with our participants and asks each person to write something flawless about themself. Each person is asked to share and then receives an affirmation of support from the group. This is a particularly moving exercise because it reminds people that we are all imperfectly perfect humans who are unique in our own ways. While it helps to build up self-esteem, it also improves confidence and public speaking skills when talking in front of a group. The snaps and applause have shown to be a wonderful reinforcement of the importance of practicing love and compassion for yourself and others. Here are some of our favorite quotes from the people we have worked with of all ages and backgrounds:
“I am Flawless because I am still alive.”
“Flawless ‘cause I’m black.”
“I’m Flawless because I’m smart.”
“I am Flawless because I try new things and challenge myself.”
“I am Flawless because I finished the school year with good grades.”
“Working with Children that are not Mine! (Pre-K Migrant) :)”
“I am good at decorating and making things beautiful. I am good at bringing out the best in others. Lifting them up.”
“I am Flawless because I play football and help people.”

But it does not stop there. The participants then write something flawless about the person sitting next to them. This is a great way to help build their communication and interpersonal skills, as well as demonstrate the importance of spreading kindness to each other. It is truly rewarding and heartwarming to watch them uplift each other. Here are some of our favorite quotes from the love being shared:
“You are flawless because you are sweet and patient.”
“[You are flawless because you are] outgoing and good with understanding people.”
“You are flawless because you are beautiful and unique. Also, Flawless braids!”
“Jessica – I love the fact we’re from the same city, and she takes care of her boys.”
“Calandria – You are flawless because you are enthusiastic about cheering others on.”
“Kyler, you are Flawless because you’re athletic, patient, and kind.”

One of the active participants in our workshops wrote beautiful notes to us. She wrote:
“Flawless is a great brain health company. They’re very helpful, kind, respectful, smart, kind – hearted. I’ve never seen someone that makes me more comfortable than them.”

At Flawless, these are the moments that we are incredibly grateful for. Our goals in our workshops are clear and simple – to inspire, to connect, and to uplift. Every Flawless team member has something to bring to these workshops. We have shared self-care tips, aromatherapy and personal growth, meditation, dancing, journaling, art projects, and more. Despite this, we often take home a lot of significant lessons from the workshop participants as well. Everyone brings something unique to the table to make this work real and meaningful.

As much as we inspire, connect, and uplift the participants of these workshops, they do the same for us. The experiences that our audience shares encourage growth among the Flawless team members. We serve a diverse population, and, from this, we have all learned the importance of listening to understand, assist, and encourage one another. It is so rewarding to see in real-time that our participants are connecting, learning, and being inspired through these workshops. We are extremely grateful for everyone we work with and hope to continue to revolutionize brain health as we lead these workshops and change lives.
