OUR VALUES
HUMILITY
Plainly, the world is a big place, there are a lot of forces at work, and if we take ourselves too seriously we close ourselves off to helpful feedback and we stop seeing things for the way they really are. Ego creates conflict internally and externally and humility is the antidote. Stay humble.
CONTRIBUTION
We need to know that the effort we're putting in is important. That what we are doing matters. Contributions that align with our values and that we can see and feel moving us in a positive direction motivate us to keep going. Our contribution is our legacy. It is the point.
LEARNING
Growth and evolution over the life-span depend on our willingness to continually engage in the learning process. Learning supports competence, competence builds confidence. There’s no hack for learning, it takes time, energy, and effort. Don’t fake it. Do the work and make it.
OPTIMISM
Optimism helps us to understand and believe that we have power and agency to make our world better for ourselves and for others. A growth mindset cannot exist without an optimistic perspective and belief in the possibility of improvement. With optimism we can see opportunity in the obstacles and find a path forward.
