This month, the Real Life Option blog comes from Sean. Sean is a person we support and is a member of the Good 2 Great leadership team. Here, he talks about what Good 2 Great means to him.

Sean Bryson:

"Good 2 Great means a lot to me, because it will move Real life Options forward and myself with it. Allowing me to eventually pick my own staff team and have the choices I want, this is similar to what I have now with Real Life Options supporting me, but more choice is a good thing and planning with me using the tools I learned at the 2 days Person Centred Thinking is a great thing.

I like all the different tools used within the programme and feel they will ensure that all staff are using Person Centred Thinking to ensure all service users get the support they want.  The 'one page profile' is my favourite and this allows staff to see how best to support me in the way that I want. It also allows me to see what is important to my staff team which I think is a step forward as they can begin to understand what its like to have information about them out there, like all service users have.

I love being part of the Good 2 Great leadership team and going down to Pontefract and to play my part and be the voice for other service users within Real Life Options. I have enjoyed the experience of being part of the excitement that has come from Good 2 Great. I have enjoyed making new friends such as Ruthie and the others on the team.  Good 2 Great is not just the future for Real Life Options but it is my future too."
