Fundamental #15: Do It Right the First Time by Natasha Burgos
Doing it right the first time means taking pride in my work and being intentional with every task I complete. Instead of rushing or cutting corners, I slow down, pay attention to detail, and make sure the job is done correctly from the start. I understand that mistakes often happen when I’m distracted, unprepared, or trying to move too fast. I always ensure to get a second opinion.
For me, this fundamental is about accountability and discipline. It means checking my work before submitting it, following processes as they are designed, and making sure documentation is accurate and complete. It also means asking questions when I’m unsure instead of assuming.
When I commit to doing it right the first time, I save time, build trust, and reduce unnecessary stress for myself and others. I want my work to reflect reliability, focus, and professionalism. Every task big or small is an opportunity to show that I care about The Arc of Opportunity, quality and that I take responsibility for my results.
Bio: My name is Natasha Burgos. I am currently the referrals coordinator and in October it will be 4 years that I have been with The Arc of opportunity since October of 2023. I started out as a Dsp moved up to CSC 6months later became a PCPM for Community Based day Supports and now am part of QA as a referral's coordinator. I come to work motivated to not only bring participants to the program but to find new and better ways for The Arc to be recognized in the community.
