00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.240

32
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.479
It will be on point. Got to text some people tonight. Anyway.

34
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:53.759

counting them down. I'm counting them with her. Halli Loujah.
46
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.479
We're gonna make our grand entrance on the stage and
47
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.159
look at everybody saying, you wish you could do this
48
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:47.479
and keep it moving. So we're thankful. We're thankful, We're thankful.
49
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.120
We're going to continue to talk about launching your own businesses,
50
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.479
uh and whether it's a for profit or nonprofit. I'm
51
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.960
going on participating in a couple of workshops online that's
52
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.919
going to talk about AI and funding stuff for nonprofits
53
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.800
and little stuff like that. So I need to catch
54
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.479
up on that and see what's what, who's doing what,
55
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.120
and I definitely will report that back. I need roll
56
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.920
call out there. Where's everybody who's on who's on roll call?
57
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.040
Let's do it, Let's do it, all right, let's see
58
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.160
coming through. Good evening, good evening, all right, VINSTI, hey
59
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.920
even and congratulations. All right, all right, all right, let's
60
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:32.920
let's do it. Let's do it. Yeah, wow, I think
61
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.000
we left off with UH again. You know, you've got
62
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.759
to get your mission statement, your vision and because that
63
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.240
will lead us to knowing or help you to be
64
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.839
directed towards what you want to do. Everybody wants a business,
65
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.000
but not everybody can run a business. If you don't
66
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:53.879
have the patience, if you don't have the skills to
67
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.800
on how to get along with people, if you're not
68
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.639
an organized person, need to be organized so that you
69
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.560
can help your your You know, the organization itself, the
70
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.759
mission and the goals be carried out, you can have.
71
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.839
You have to convey them. You have to teach them
72
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.839
to some people. Sometimes not everybody know everything. Okay. They
73
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.160
may just have a great personality, but they don't know
74
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.040
how to answer a phone, you know, or they're going
75
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.079
through a lot of emotional stuff and they're just an
76
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.160
emotional roller coaster. That's not somebody you needed the front
77
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.759
door because they don't know how to balance that yet.
78
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:30.959
And that's where you come in and you have workshop
79
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.600
excuse me, guys, you have workshops and things like that
80
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.720
to better teach them. I was always an advocate for teaching.
81
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.759
I think I shared with you all. After I got married,
82
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.759
and then a year after the babies were born, I
83
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.199
went I was invited back to my former organization to
84
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.079
do a workshop and it was called Humor in the Workplace,
85
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.920
and that's where the clown showed up. Yeah, that one, well,
86
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.319
there were three young ladies in there that were mad.
87
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.759
They were mad. And before I left the organization, before
88
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.120
I retired from it, I asked the board and the
89
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:06.000
council and the executive director to commit to making sure
90
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.480
that any agency that my team, which was the Family
91
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.959
Strengthening Team funded, make sure any and all their staff
92
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:18.759
get a shot at least eighteen credit hours of continuing education,
93
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.399
even if it's just our workshops. They don't have to
94
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:25.120
go to college, they don't have to step outside of CSC,
95
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.199
but they need to be able to come and learn.
96
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.040
So we were going around the room and I could smile them.
97
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.519
I knew their agency guy because I heard them talking.
98
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.000
I can't believe we got to come to this now.
99
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.959
We gave them breakfast, you know, it wasn't gonna be
100
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.439
all day. But they were just so adamant about why
101
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.040
do we have to come here? And they were made
102
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.959
to come to this workshop and I don't understand. And
103
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.879
we got that. Yeah, we got to do so many
104
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.079
hours of it whatever they call it, and I'm like,
105
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.240
oh my god, so we got to them, and of
106
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.399
course the question was you know, tell us your name,
107
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.759
what agency, and why are you here, and all three
108
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.199
of them were like, oh, blah blah blah, this is
109
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.560
my agency, and we were told we had to come.
110
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.720
It was mandatory. So when the third person finally spoke,
111
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.560
I said, well, the mandatory came from me over a
112
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.360
year ago when I retired, and they were like, I said, yeah,
113
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.240
So if you're mad at anybody, don't be mad at
114
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.600
your exec your boss, don't be mad even at children's service.
115
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.240
Be mad at me, because you're the last people that
116
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.480
will get any type of education. You're the last person
117
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.519
and people who will get any updated information. You're not
118
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.959
going to go beyond your high school diploma. And guess what,
119
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.920
you're the front line evening evening. You're the front line.
120
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.040
I left my notebook in the ride share. I had
121
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:51.800
to flag the car mickey, stop launch, mincky come back here,
122
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.839
you come back here, Mickey. I can only see it.
123
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.879
I can only I don't even know what you look like,
124
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.000
but I can visualize what that look like that day.
125
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:06.439
Bless your heart and make God bless you that. But
126
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.079
you know, and then here's so there are people who
127
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.319
don't who just don't want education because not everybody's built
128
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:16.120
for college and and tech school and you know, higher education.
129
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.639
We get that, but I just knew that these frontline
130
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:23.360
people who are dealing with the clients who have no
131
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:27.920
educational support at all except the high school diploma, could
132
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.920
benefit from some of the workshops and at least eighteen
133
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.279
credit hours in a year. And that was one of
134
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.960
the mandates for you your agency. Hey, Charles, it keeps
135
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.440
the getting the learning going. At times, it's hard to
136
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.039
keep the learning going at tech. Yes it is, Charles,
137
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.799
but you've got well, I guess you don't have to.
138
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:51.399
Because I'm a social worker. I have a ever learning
139
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:56.399
and yearning for learning just because because my career, just
140
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.919
like I say, a doctor or nurse. Things are changing
141
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.519
over thirty years ago when I did CPR, when I taught,
142
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.279
I was an instructor for the Red Cross, it was
143
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.159
you know, fifteen chess compressions and two breaths. Now it's
144
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.600
not even that. You can just you got you know,
145
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.320
automatic defibrillators. You know, Also the numbers have changed because
146
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.919
if you're cracking chests and stuff like that, and people
147
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:23.679
because of the good Samaritan law. You can't sue people,
148
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.399
you know, when your your ribs have been broken. We're
149
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.759
trying to remind you. So things have changed, and my career,
150
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.360
you know, my discipline social work is always changing in
151
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.480
the sense as far as laws and legislation, insurance you
152
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.120
know what they're doing, and stuff like that. So I'm
153
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.559
a life learner. That's what That's what I was looking for.
154
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:47.840
That's I'm a life learner. So I'm always going to
155
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.399
be checking in on things. So go ahead, Trey, I
156
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.279
know you want to say something.
157
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.559
I know when I was going to say, just kind
158
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:58.519
of because I know sometimes being in a formal learning
159
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.519
setting can be intimo day and overwhelming. But they have
160
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.120
so many things like on YouTube now that you can
161
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.360
just kind of go and dibble and dabble get.
162
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:09.039
What you need to know.
163
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:10.519
You know, I'm not saying you're going to be an
164
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.039
expertise at it, but at least it'll give you some
165
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.960
knowledge that if you decide to take it further, it
166
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.360
might not seem so overwhelming, you know.
167
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.360
So like one of the things.
168
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.399
I'm trying to learn the American Sign language, and so
169
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.639
I go on YouTube and I've learned like the alphabet.
170
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.799
I'm not you know, I still miss some alphabet, but
171
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.360
that was a start. So now at least I can
172
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.080
spell out some things if I need to. Now it's
173
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:42.120
like gestural, you know, it's more than fingerspelling. Its other
174
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.279
stuff that I'm learning as I go, because the population
175
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.919
that I have now surrounding me is a lot of
176
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.519
deaf and harder hearing and ASL or American Sign Language
177
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.440
P efficient people. So and it's just beautiful to see.
178
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.840
Sometimes we take things for granted. But that's the way.
179
00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:01.799
That's all I was going to say, is your film.
180
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.279
It's okay, and yeah, thank you. We know that it's
181
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.799
not for everything. It's not for everybody. Yes, okay, No,
182
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.159
I'm not licensed. I was thank you for joining. No,
183
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.200
I was blessed enough to have enough license spoke around
184
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.240
me that I didn't. I did try for an exam.
185
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.919
I missed it the first time by six points, and
186
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.200
I said, oh, I got to keep working. So I
187
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.039
was just very fortunate that I was able to be
188
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.559
around enough people if I need the license, you know, accreditation,
189
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:37.279
thanks for having us that. You know, if I needed it,
190
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.879
I could, I could be up under someone to do it.
191
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.360
But the lord is blessed. Most of the time, everybody
192
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.919
paid me in cash, so I didn't have to seek
193
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.519
insurance reimbursement. But thank you for that question. But yeah,
194
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.000
I always thought, oh, kind I gotta be. I was like, nah,
195
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.320
I could do what I got to do, So you know,
196
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.440
I was very blessed with that. But thank you so
197
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.200
much for asking that, and thank you Trey for saying that.
198
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:03.000
But yeah, EDGIC is not for everybody, and I get it.
199
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.840
But I just did not want any agency that we
200
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.399
funded to have employees that were in the dark, especially
201
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.600
those who were taking care of the client. They're the
202
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.200
ones running the programs and stuff like that. They're the
203
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.559
ones that was overseeing, not the executive director and not
204
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.480
the program director, but they're the case managers or the
205
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.799
case workers or the team players. That was that was
206
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.440
the heart of the organization, and I didn't want them
207
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.799
being in the dark. So there, so I said, if
208
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.879
you need to be mad at somebody, be mad at me.
209
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.639
I did it. I begged them to make sure that
210
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.960
they kept that in play. But at least the next
211
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.600
three years of funding. We went to a three year
212
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:44.559
funding cycle. So so yeah, so I'm gonna always look
213
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.600
and see. That's why you know a lot of my
214
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.360
I've been right to lectionships switch from social science to
215
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:57.039
behavioral nice and it's very much needed, definitely, very much needed.
216
00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.919
I remember back in the day. You may be not
217
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.039
old enough to know this, but back in the day
218
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.679
here in Florida, there was a very bad case where
219
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.639
a case manager of what HRS which is now DCF
220
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.279
here in Florida, returned a child back to his family
221
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.440
and they, basically, I think I believe they the child died.
222
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.440
And so the news was out, Oh, social worker from
223
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.519
dc HRS. I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
224
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.200
no no. Unless they had a master's degree a social
225
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.039
work or a bachelor's degree, that person was not a
226
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.480
social worker. And that was just ongoing battle with the
227
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:37.480
lay people in the community. Oh that's a social work.
228
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.320
No no, no, no, no, I appreciate that. I had
229
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.919
a coworker that worked for the health department. She had
230
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.600
a degree in anthropology, and she called herself a social work.
231
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.360
I said, well, I know, you study bone of pretty
232
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.919
much dead people. Social work we deal with the live people,
233
00:13:55.559 --> 00:14:00.159
you know. But yeah, yeah, the want to learn and
234
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.840
is there time is not there? Well that's organic time management.
235
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.240
Thank you George for leading me that way. There's there's
236
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.639
skills that you have to have, you know, stigmentation, Yes,
237
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.960
there's there's there's you've got to have. Organization. Time management
238
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.799
is key because you still got to run the clock
239
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.480
even though you're not clocking in at an agency, but
