Getting Ahead™ in a Just-Gettin'-By World is a workbook for people in poverty that shows how to use
the hidden rules of class to build up financial, emotional, social, and other resources.
Understanding the hidden rules of the middle class and wealth, and choosing to
use them, can open doors to new relationships, new jobs, and higher resources.
Get certified in Getting Ahead. Getting Ahead facilitates a process for people from poverty to investigate
the impact that poverty has had on themselves and their community and to use this information to build
resources for a better life and community.
This seminar demonstrates how to use the Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin'-By World workbook for
people in poverty, which shows how to use the hidden rules of class to build up financial, emotional, social,
and other resources. Understanding the hidden rules of the middle class and wealth, and choosing to use
them, can open doors to new relationships, new jobs, and higher resources.
Working in a group with a facilitator, people who use this workbook will develop a series of mental models
to examine their own lives and create new future stories. In 15–20 sessions, participants explore the impact
that poverty has had on them, investigate economic realities, complete a self-assessment of their own resources
and make plans to build them, and develop a mental model of community prosperity.
The Getting Ahead™ process does not provide answers to the participants on how to establish economic stability,
nor does it make the argument for change. Instead, motivation, insight, and plans come from the participants
themselves. Upon completing Getting Ahead, participants will have a plan of their own based on the knowledge acquired
through the co-investigative process and expressed in new mental models.
