If You Can Talk the Talk

If you spend enough time with Getting Ahead Investigators or Staying Ahead Mentors, you will find we have a secret language. Well, it isn't really a secret, but it is a shared vocabulary that makes a difference in our lives.

When one of us is overwhelmed, another may remind them to "detach" their emotions from a situation so they can make a decision in a less frantic state.

Sometimes we will tell each other to think about our thinking (which we all know is metacognition). Other times , we will remind each other that we are social capital in one another's lives. This means we are not alone in this journey.

Building a community of individuals who feel empowered and strengthened is a sacred gift that we take seriously.

Sherry S. often reminds us that if "you can talk the talk, you can walk the walk". Sometimes growth is in learning what you don't know and building on that. That is often how I (Meghan) learn most of my lessons. For more information on our Getting Ahead class, contact us at thrive1010mv@gmail.com. We love to share our mission!
