Goods and Betters

A former client and mentor of mine used to do this exercise. We all went crazy planning for an event and after it was over he called us in with an easel and large paper and we did “goods and betters.”

What did we do well? Where can we improve? K, M, A, F and many others helped parents help their children in poorly funded schools and neighborhoods.

I only did what I could at the time and was not paid for 18 months and still did at least 60 hours a week because the cause was a good one. Now the mentor is dead and the non-profit shut down. Of course I’ll never get my pay but with what I did with and for their work, it’s pay enough. To Maisha, Dee
