Chapter BE

First BE, then do

Welcome

First Be, Then Do

Chapter B: a term used by psychologists to identify when a person enters into a new stage of life – whether that is a new relationship, job, city, or state of being.

To Be: defined simply as “to exist in actuality; have life or reality.” Synonyms include to be alive, breathe, and have existence. Every person’s BEing is uniquely their own.

Chapter BE: an organization that works to connect people to their true internal BEing as they write the next chapter of their life.

Working with individuals, groups, and organizations, Chapter BE wants to change the conversation from “what do you do?” to “how might you BE in this world?”. Challenging individuals to be the author of their own story with their true core values as the leading force.

So now, we ask you – How might you BE in this world?

The Founder

Meet Kïrsten Blake, creator and founder of Chapter BE. Inspired by her dedication to education, human connection and issues of equity, Kïrsten works as a brain-based narrative coach, chief facilitator, and storyteller to help individuals reframe their personal narratives and (re)connect with their internal BEing. She believes that stories of BEing are a powerful way to create connection – both to self and to others.

The Being of a Nation Road Trip

“The Being of a Nation” road trip consisted of traveling to all 48 continental United States in 90 days and asking almost 400 strangers: “How do you want to BE in this world?” Chapter BE drove 15,887 miles and collected stories of BEing from across the nation with the aim to connect through face-to-face conversation and examine how human similarities can be recognized and differences celebrated.

“I try to practice empathy and get into the mode of continuously doing and being aware of myself. It is self awareness. It really is. When you are self-aware, you are more aware of stuff that is going on around you in a positive way.”
