Iowa Mediation Service was founded in 1985 as a non-profit organization dedicated to solutions for farmers, families, organizations, and any group or individual who may find themselves in need of a conflict management expert. Mediation provides a low-cost, low-risk approach to managing personal and business matters that are large or small in nature.

We are thrilled to announce the release of Kiley Fleming's groundbreaking new book, Discovering Self-Imagery, Weekly Reflections to Develop a Purposeful Identity. This insightful and deeply impactful work delves into the power of self-imagery and its profound impact on personal growth and self-discovery.
About the Book: Fifty-two short narratives weave lighthearted stories with insightful lessons to help the reader ponder their chosen identity. Using a meaningful and profound approach to understanding how the discovery of self-imagery lends itself to richer life purpose, this book helps enhance the reader’s insights into the concept of self through guided questions found at the end of each weekly reading. Every chapter can stand alone as its own individual tool or can be used as a building block for the other materials. As a self-study, this book provides a guided journalling approach to ponder weekly reflective questions. While as a group-study, it can serve as a point of dialogue for collective discussion. By exploring self-imagery within an individualistic or group setting, readers will walk away with fresh analogies and metaphors to better understand oneself with regards to creating intentional living. |
