Finding Funding Costs Time
There is funding to be found; it takes time and effort but it is attainable. Most organizations can benefit from having a designated person searching for calls for proposals and writing proposals. Hiring a consultant can work in the interim but a staff person dedicated to building capacity through proposal writing is a stronger approach. Another thing to remember is the importance of building a coordinator or manager position into all project proposals. This builds community/organization capacity and ensures there is a designated person responsible for the project.

Are you ready to set goals?
Goal setting workshops can be most valuable if you are ready. Timing is so important in learning. Perhaps a certain word or sound bite from the workshop will inspire you to get ready. But being ready moves you forward in a way that is not easily measured. It can be compared to self-directed learning. We learn when we want to learn. We learn when we are ready to learn. But if a person’s mind is open to new information, self-reflection, and deep thinking learning can be accelerated.
