Powerful quotes

“We really thought of ourselves as moderators in this conversations, but it really is so humbling knowing how much more we have left to learn.” -Becky

“Most people, I believe, want to be a part of good. There is a fine line between those who are wanting to do good, and those that take the first step. We need to find ways to get people to take that first step towards their passion.” -Becky

“Community is everything and it always finds a way. There is not a global corporate budget large enough to match the influence and activism of a passionate community of believers.” -Becky

“A vision becomes so much better when you take it to community. Once a community is involved, your mission becomes so much brighter. The more people we talk to, the more inspired I get.” -Jon

“We have the microphone, but it is not Jon and I’s microphone. We want to be a conduit of what will bring you what will build you as a professional.” -Becky

“Don’t be afraid to just ask. Remember the long game, and allow yourself to be wowed. We have been learning to work hard towards something every day, and we are allowing ourselves to be wowed at what this community is becoming.” -Julie

Sneak Peek at 2021 for We Are For Good!

“We have a great goal of completely blowing the lid off of what professional development looks like for our sector. We want to revolutionize it in a massive way. Our goal setting mindset is that we are going to unpack that a little bit at a time. Something big is coming from us in 2021, and we think it will revolutionize how you learn and can bring your mission to more people.” -Becky
