A Framework for Being in Right Relationship

For this week’s journal episode, I scrolled back into my photos to see where I was one year ago. I was on production of Standing with Mom’s, a short film we produced for Mother’s Outreach Network about their guaranteed income pilot. One of the lessons I learned from MON’s founder, Melody Webb, is that we should believe in people, invest in people, and our investments should meet the need as defined by the people we serve. I talk about how this lesson can be turned into a simple framework for assessing our organizations, programs, and ourselves. And by creating the space to go through a process of answering a series of questions, I think we can see if we are in right relationship with ourselves and the people we serve.
