The Measured Course: Pay-for-What-You-Want:
I’ve been really taken by the idea of true Gifts, as described by writers like Lewis Hyde and Charles Eisenstein.
I vividly remember the day Radiohead released their 2007 album, In Rainbows (on my birthday). I couldn’t believe it. I never heard of such a price-point. You mean, I could just pay $1 or $1000?!
It was a “pay-for-what-you-want” model. I couldn’t make sense of it. I was a huge fan, so I bought it at $20, because I thought that’s what you’d pay for a CD. I loved the album so much that later on, I went to the now defunct Tower Records and bought the physical copy.
I’m telling you this naive story of mine because I’ve been wanting to embrace this Gift business model for a long time, but just didn’t have the courage to do so.
Well, I’m doing so now.
I have a course, that I’ve not publicised. It’s called Measured. It’s a nuts and bolts of Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT). If you are just getting started with measuring outcomes, and don’t want to use it just as an evaluative tool, but more of a conversational tool, this is for you.
A Gift is only a gift if it meets a need. If you would like to get this online course, drop us an email at admin@darylchow.com. John or I will send you a special code, and then we will send you PayPal/Wise details for your “pay-for-what-you-want” option. I’d do this until the end of June 2024, and see how it goes.
